He messed around with my take away curry!

It is rare we have a take away, and for me its always the same thing. I have tried many different dishes over the years, but always regret it. He knows this.

But for some reason he ordered a wide small taste selection of different dishes. There was a small sample of my favourite meal included, but he had the full size dish of his favourite. There was also loads of naan bread and I only have a small bit of this on occasionally.
There were some sauces, one a snotty whipped egg/yogurt thing that looked repellent.

Anyway, I feel cheated. quite a lot left over blobs of goo left and all sauces, but in the end ate a decent amount of what I liked.

Am I being Unreasonable?

If anyone fucked with my takeaway order there would be hell to pay. DH laughs at this but doesn't dare push it.

I was hungover once and HAD to have a kebab. The one near us does a beautiful kebab with a mint yoghurt sauce. DH started trying to order some mixed thing with extras 'just for a change' and I went beserk. The guy on the phone overheard, laughed and said to give me what I wanted. He was a wise man and DH got to keep all his appendages.

Posting in this thread purely to appreciate MrsHathaway's phrase 'snot and grobbles' to describe the extraneous bits that come with a takeaway and that no-one ever wants Grin

That'd be grounds for divorce for me. (Yeah, I am picky. That's why I'm single)

I mean, he obviously doesn't respect you when he just substitutes his own ridiculous "thoughts" for facts you have clearly stated ... and HE orders a full dish of HIS favourite?

Make it clear that if he does this, or anything like it, again, there will be counseling, and if it happens again, divorce.

Lack of respect is something I would not tolerate in a marriage.

I'd be fuming! Dh sort of did this the other week we were going to be eating at pils and Mil phoned to see what we wanted (takeaway). Dh rattled off what "we" wanted without asking me. Cue me having a massive strop resulting in him phoning Mil back and changing the order Grin

Yadefnbu OP!!
Ordering something new to try - thoughtless of your wishes, inconsiderate. But ordering a full size of HIS OWN??!! Fucknugget. And no you are not being a bitch - men who say this whenever a woman stands up for herself and her choices against his wishes to decide for her, are usually weak, controlling little cockwombles, sorry.

Grapejuicerocks · 27/02/2016 12:14

Ltb - big red flag. Fair enough if he messed with his own too. But to make just you suffer whilst he had his own favourite big one and a selection of others to try as he fancied. I don't think your marriage can get over this.

I can't stand the "I thought you might want to try something new" thing. If I wanted to try something new, I would be trying something new fucker! Angry. What it actually means is I think you should try something new so I am going to force the issue.

I'd have killed him.

Dh just made me a sandwich with horrible low fat cheese spread instead of butter. He knows fine I hate it but because he likes it I get stiffed with an inedible mess. I nearly boaked when I bit into it.

We're not on speakers now.

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 27/02/2016 22:24

Ewww cheese spread instead of butter?! Boak indeed. My dp, gave me toast with marg on it once, I bit into it and nearly vommed.
