To offer this for tea...

[roleypoley]

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni (from a packet) with salad. DP is furious. Says when he asked earlier what was for tea I should have said 'nothing'. There is also fish in the freezer but that takes half an hour so apparently is unacceptable at 8pm. I've had enough of his mood and gone upstairs with my half packet of spinach and ricotta cannelloni & he's ordered a take away!

No YANBU, he's being a tosser! I love spinach and ricotta cannelloni. If I were you I'd eat the other half as well!

The next time the answer is "I don't know, what are you cooking?"

He's "furious" because tea is either not to his exacting standards or not served 'on time ?? Does he realise it's not the 1950's anymore? Twat.

That's a perfectly lovely tea and we have the same about once a fortnight. Although I do add a tomato sauce too.

Tell your H he's cooking tomorrow.

If it's a ready meal version they are rather, um, slimy and bland.
But if it's not to his liking he could always stop being an arse and make something else.

Did you know he didn't like it?

I'd love that! I bet he would have turned up his nose at the jacket potatoes we had too. YANBU.

He's in a huff because he still has work to finish for meetings in London tomorrow and 'how do I expect him to concentrate?!' with this inadequate meal. There's plenty of food in the cupboards to so he's unlikely to starve

He knows where the kitchen is doesn't he?

My Dad used to behave like that towards my Mum, and even then, 20 years ago, we all laughed at him for being so old fashioned!

Pretty sure he does like it just doesn't consider it substantial enough

Ah, 'nothing' = 'not the exact thing I felt like eating and expected you to know about telepathically'. I'd say 'nothing' every time he asks what's for tea for a while now.

Not really a dinner though. More of a crap lunch.

That wouldn't be enough for me let alone my husband!

God I'd be furious that my husband was furious about a meal. There are so many more important things that are worth being furious about.

Excellent idea TendonQueen

I'd be happy with that!

Who's turn was it to cook ?i would be happy with it !

I would hand you notice in for the position of "head chef" if I were you OP.

With no sauce? Tbh I'd find it very boring, sorry.

& even if it's not the best meal in the world it's the behaving like he's going to starve that annoys me. If you're still hungry have a bagel or bowl of cereal or something after. He only has to open a cupboard to find food

I dare you to watch Shirley Valentine

The day her DH comes home and deems his tea inadequate (throws it on the floor, she cleans it up) strengthens her determination to escape, even if just for a holiday.

Watch it

Regardless of whether it's a decent meal or not, OP's DH is behaving like a sulky child. THAT is the problem.....

Nip that attitude in the bud now!

Gosh that's my dh's favourite dinner! With sauce, baked with cheese on top and garlic bread

Tbh I'd not be bothering cooking for him any more purely for his ungrateful Ness.

If my gf made me a pot noodle I'd be grateful.
If my gf made me a slice of toast I'd be grateful.

So on and so on.
