H2B didn't make me toast.

So H2B says 'I fancy something to eat' and I said I was hungry too and would like some toast.

Me - I'd love some toast if your getting something.
Him - I always make the toast
Me - I made dinner. I always make dinner. If you make the dinner, I'd make the toast.
Him - ok well I'll make dinner on Friday.
Me - fine

20 mins goes past

Him - I think I'd like some banana and peanut butter on my toast
Me - help yourself. I asked you half an hour ago for some toast and you've just sat there!
Him - you didn't actually ask me
Me - I'm not going beg you for toast! Forget it.

I'm now in bed sulking.

I am aware this is completely trivial and ridiculous but AIBU?!

Convo here would have continued as follows:

Me: Ok I'll make the toast if you tickle my feet.
Him: Ok

The word toast has lost all meaning now that I've read the whole thred.

Peanutbutterrules · 21/03/2017 23:16

You will not regret the cheese in the soup...

Can we have TAS badges made?

SuperBeagle · 21/03/2017 23:22

It takes less than 5 minutes to make some toast, and now you're sulking because you sat there in anticipation of toast for 20 minutes when you could've gotten up and made toast four times over?

Christ.

Why does your DP do fuck all around the house?

Did he lose his limbs in the great Duralit toaster factory fire of '72?

SugarLoveHeart · 21/03/2017 23:24

I was brought surprise toast, in bed last night. Fancy some now, but he's gone out...

PickAChew · 21/03/2017 23:32

If you're feeling resentful because he considers making one meal in 3 days time a reasonable thing in the balance of work to do, then YANBU for being pissed off that he didn't put some bread in the toaster and push a lever for you and YWNBU for reconsidering this whole getting married to him malarkey.

The toast seems petty, but is indicative of how he will be from here to mythical kingdom come. Yeah, book me in for a night waking a week on Sunday. Only if you give me a BJ ever night until then, though.

I was going to link to Streetband but Worra beat me to it!

liz70 · 21/03/2017 23:54

"Duralit toaster"

WorraLiberty · 22/03/2017 00:00

I'm still bloody singing it!

SugarLoveHeart · 22/03/2017 00:10

He's come home now & is cooking the smelly sausage stew he made earlier & enquiring as to the making of brown rice (half an hour!). Just make some bloody toast... (And turn the fucking telly down!)

Lweji · 22/03/2017 07:31

Husband to be, you say, OP?

Either sort out your domestic work issue or you'll be better as husband "not to be".

P1nkP0ppy · 22/03/2017 07:39

If he loves you he would make you toast any time, day or night. LTB.

P.s Sourdough bread makes the best toast ever 😋

Lweji · 22/03/2017 07:42

Good toast with proper bread.
This is not even the best example.

H2B didn't make me toast.
NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 22/03/2017 07:47

Now I want toast with peanut butter. I don't really like peanut butter so we don't have any. Bloody pregnancy cravings!

Did you make the toast op? I also read your op as an agreement that you'd make the toast and he'd make dinner on Friday

TizzyDongue · 22/03/2017 07:54

I've had toast twice since reading this thread. Once with peanut butter and another with jam (blackcurrant, or at least I'm guessing that's what 'cerises noires' means).

I have no Marmite Sad. Hard to come by in these parts, been months, don't like to talk about it

SoupDragon · 22/03/2017 08:48

I don't get it. You said you would make the toast if he made dinner. He said he would make dinner thus you should have made the toast.

(Sour dough, butter, strawberry jam)

Batteriesallgone · 22/03/2017 08:50

But who's making dinner tomorrow?

Why does his one Friday night dinner making count as enough to mean she should make toast, when her repeated dinner making isn't being given anywhere near the same weight?

P1nkP0ppy · 22/03/2017 08:55

Tizzy - black cherry jam not blackcurrant 😋

QueenArseClangers · 22/03/2017 08:58

*Dualit!

Sozzers Liz, I posted whilst tipsy on a school night Grin

BaggyCheeks · 22/03/2017 09:00

Lweji but that is more hole than toast?!

He should have made the toast. He's making dinner on Friday, you make the toast on Friday. Last night was Tuesday.

TizzyDongue · 22/03/2017 11:10

P1nkP0ppy ooh really. Thanks! Its all in French and there's no pictures Sad - only recognised black!!

LadyPW · 22/03/2017 11:52

You're arguing about toast?! You'll be divorced within 5 years (assuming you make it to the wedding day). Then you can argue about who gets the toaster in the divorce settlement.
Whatever happened to communication... Hmm
(And now I want toast too. With apricot jam.)

Lweji · 22/03/2017 12:09

Lweji but that is more hole than toast?!

I said it wasn't the best example. It was the last half decent slice of a great loaf. :)

Lweji · 22/03/2017 12:11

I think we need a dinner/toast schedule.

Done in a nice Excel spreadsheet. With a drawing of you, OP, and your H2B or not 2B.
