To think I HAD asked for tea

DH is awesome and has just cooked dinner so this isn't a LTB thread. Just curious -

I have a cold, nothing major just headache, stuffed nose, sensitive skin & coughing my guts up. DH asked me if I wanted a Lemsip, I said I'd prefer tea and then I left the kitchen as 9 week old DD was crying. After a little while no tea was forthcoming.

I went back into the kitchen and DH was doing the washing up so I made my own tea. I said, with a smile, that I didn't realise he objected to making tea (or something like that, I wasn't snappy) and he replied 'well you should have said 'can you make me tea'. I kinda thought I HAD, with the whole I'd prefer tea comment.

So AIBU to have thought he was going to make me tea??

YANBU though my dh takes things quite literally and would have thought if I wanted tea instead I would make it myself or ask him outright so I sympathise.

Men are stupid. You need to spell it out. YANBU but that's from a woman's point of view.

Nope, I'd take this as a request for tea. Easy to cross wires though. Gett well soon!
