To have flattened the sandwiches?

[DryBone]

Been dieting for weeks, lost lots of weight and now below target. Thought I'd treat myself to a Burger King today. DH knee my plans as i had been banging on about it all week. I was really looking forward to it after eating like a saint all week.
So plan was today to go and do shopping and then pop to Burger King. Again I mentioned how much I was looking forward to eating this thing I'd been craving all week.

So we took the shopping home, I sort the dog out only to go into kitchen and see DH handing me a bacon sandwich. I said "what's that for?" So he said "well I knew you were hungry so I thought I'd save us the drive". I was fuming and told him I didn't want that, I wanted to go and buy what I'd been planning to buy all week! He said I was being a brat and ungrateful and if I desperately wanted BK I could drive myself - knowing full well I cant fucking drive!!!

So out of pure frustration I hammered the sandwich not realising that he'd put egg in it which splattered everywhere meaning I burnt my hand in the process. Now we're not talking.

AIBU to think he created this by going back on plans and not realising how fucking difficult dieting is when it's relentless for weeks?

Slightly hormonal so am prepared to hear I'm over reacting .

I feel your pain. I had a mega craving for a bk bacon double cheese burger when I was pregnant with ds1 (I don't even like BK) oh proudly bought in a mcD bag with 1 "cheese burger" there was no cheese, sauce, or anything just a tiny dry burger and plain bun!
To say I was disappointed was an understatement but I did my best to hide it and ate that crap with a big smile on my face. 4 years on and I still have got my burger

If a woman cooked a guy a meal and he threw it against the wall as he wanted chicken, not lamb, everyone would be shouting LTB. Such bloody double standards...

[MrsPinkCock]

This thread is funny

YA (both) BU here, though. Him for making you a shit sandwich you didn't want because he couldn't be arsed to go out, and you for going batshit over it.

And to PPs - of course you can have a bloody Burger King and lose weight! I've had a weekly kebab and prosecco and still lost weight every week.

And 68 cals for 2 slices of bread? Just looool!

70 cals for an egg, up to 100 cals for the butter, 200 cals for the bread, 300 cals for 4 rashers of bacon because otherwise it's not worth eating is 670 calories. A bacon cheeseburger from BK is 300 cals and I'd much rather eat that!

[SteppingOnToes]

Who the fuck would have 4 rashers of bacon on a sandwich? I don't diet and I think that's excessive if there's egg too

[Figglesticks]

Yes you overreacted. He knew what was wanted and changed it.
You both need to apologise to each other. Be the bigger person and start it off by apologising for the overreaction but explain that you wanted a Burger King, he knew that, and changed it for you. You've been working hard and wanted a special treat. It's nice that he made you the sandwich but it clearly wasn't as helpful as he'd have thought. If that's the treat you wanted you would have said as opposed to Burger King.
Also tell him it might be an idea to think about driving lessons and getting your license.

If by some chance he has form for controlling what happens like this a lot and that's part of why you don't have a license (which will limit what you can do for yoursel) and he is emotionally abusive in any way it's probably time you rethink the relationship. Based on this one example I can't say if that's the case. It looks to be like you both acted like knobs and neither wants to admit fault.

[Lovelymess]

YANBU, especially when your looking forward to something and he knew that

[Syc4moreTrees]

He should have given her a biscuit instead

[BishopBrennansArse]

YWBU for not smashing the sandwich IN HIS FACE, OP.

[Dahelle]

I understand your frustration at not being heard OP. It is upsetting.
I have seen the otherwise too. Once I got up before my husband made him a cup of tea and he got angry because we were going to go out for coffee and why would he want a tea before coffee?
I was in the routine of making tea first thing for him (I don't drink it) he was being VU and he knows it. This was about 12 years ago and he reminded me of this when I told him about this post.

[Winterc00kie]

this is a bit of a frootloop situation.

Complete and utter over-reaction! get a grip!

[Urglewurgle]

Ah, you were probably overreacting but I'd probably do something similar. I'm more of a cupboard slammer and foot stopper tbh. I would be disappointed with a bacon sandwich when I wanted a BK, really disappointed.

[LagunaBubbles]

A simple "no thanks, I want a BK" would probably have been a wiser course of action.

[LagunaBubbles]

YWBU for not smashing the sandwich IN HIS FACE, OP.

I really hope thats a sarcastic post because if its not its absolutely horrific youare advocating violence. And yes can you imagine the reactions from here if a poster had came on and said their DH had smashed a sandwich into their face?

[SynysterGates]

did no one notice.....the OP never came back

[BishopBrennansArse]

Knew someone would take it seriously 🙄
Humour free zone, init.

[Teutonic]

I have visions of the OP standing in her kitchen shouting ' I don't want a fucking bacon sandwich. SPLAT. I want a fucking burger. SPLAT SPLAT. With fucking fries and a DIET coke. SPLAT!
With bits of bacon and egg going everywhere.

There's only one thing to do OP.
LTB
Sell the kids
Burn the house down.

It won't get you a BK, but it might make you feel better.

[Fl0ellafunbags]

I stamped on some chocolate and cried when I was pregnant with DS because it was the wrong chocolate. I locked myself in the bathroom to do it - premeditated hormonal tantrum

[LagunaBubbles]

Yeh it is when youve had eggs smashed in your face actually, hard to see the "humour" in someone advocating it.

[BishopBrennansArse]

Yeah.
Bit simplistic generalising like that when you don't know other poster's history though isn't it?

Only here could you find someone who has had a very specific experience to be offended by 🙄

[LagunaBubbles]

Bishopsbrennan Im not offended as you put it, I just fail to see the humour in "joking" about advocating inflicting physical violence on a partner, thats all. Being on the receiving end of a violent partner is actually quite common here sadly so I dont think domestic violence is that "specific" either. But hey I guess we all have different senses of humour eh....

[pollymere]

I think he was trying to do something nice. My dh often does stuff that is seemingly generous but goes against what I'd planned. It is very annoying but I have to appreciate that he tried. I suspect you need to apologise whilst explaining that you'd really been looking forward to it. Where I live McDonald's do home delivery...
