AIBU?

To have flattened the sandwiches?

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 .

You'd be out of my house for being an u grateful brat. If you wanted a burger king and you dont drive, you should have got one there. Maybe he doesn't want to chauffer you about, mistook you constant chit chat about food for hunger and was trying to be helpful? Horrible behaviour OP, go and apologise.

I totally understand why you were pissed off.

While you may have over reacted slightly, you did it with style. I'm highly entertained by visions of an angry woman flat hand slapping a bacon and egg sandwich.

Coddiwomple - and all other human beings who always say stupid shit like 'learn to drive' just fuck off please. Some people CAN'T fucking drive. If every adult of age who could drive, did drive, this planet would be more fucked than it already is. Fuck sakes. Are you going to buy the op the fucking lessons?

I think that he should have told you that he could no longer be bothered to go to BK.

I also think that it was kind of him to make the sandwich-but seems daft if he didn't check that you'd like one.

YWBU to react so angrily.

Did you not smell the bacon cooking ?

OP I think you went a bit OTT but I get it. You have been dieting and the BK was your one treat. I know what it's like to be craving something and sometimes nothing else will do. You could have eaten the bacon butty but would have still been craving the BK. Just go and say sorry and make up. It's not worth falling out over a sandwich.

I dont think he was being kind. Its not like he didnt know you had been looking forwards to a treat all week.
I think he's been pretty nasty. He should have told you he had changed his mid about driving you to BK, not been passive aggressive. you wouldnt do this to a kid.

PicardsCombOver - you seem a bit angry. Maybe try taking it out on a sandwich instead of other posters.

  1. Why didn't you go to BK while you were out?
  2. What were you doing while he was making the egg and bacon sarnie? "Sorting the dog out"? Do you mean walking the dog? Because if not I don't understand how you didn't notice DH cooking.
  3. To be fair, my DH would be bloody livid if I'd made him a meal that he then ruined by having a tantrum and squashing it. As would I be if he'd done it.


Sounds like a lack of communication and an overreaction.

PicardsCombOver

then start cycling, it would be good for the weight loss! Throwing such a tantrum as an adult because you relay on another adult for such a minor issue is a bit childish.

For some reason I'm finding this thread very amusing.

I have no idea why it strikes me as really funny but it does.

I must be a bad person.

He has done you a huge favour. 630 calories in a whopper, 500 calories in a large fries.


OPs offering(approx)
An egg=70
2 slices of bread =68
2rashers=101

Hangry! Maybe you need to look at eating food that doesn't spike your insulin levels so that you don't develop such urgent needs to eat.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

OP has been dieting for ages. Is below target, wanted a well-deserved treat (regardless of whether or not other posters think a BK is a treat, it was a treat for OP). Her DH knew this was her reward for losing her weight. (Bacon sandwich is not so healthy, so he wasn't doing her any favours there, he just wanted to save himself a trip).

OP has said she doesn't drive - there is probably a valid reason for this. Whatever the reasons, OP has lost weight, she wanted a reward at the weekend, her DP/DH knew her request. He should be encouraging her in her goal.
Instead of belittling her, telling her to go and get her own BK (when he knows she can't drive) and makes her a bacon sandwich, which she didn't want and is no more healthy than a burger.

He is controlling!

Viques where did you get your calorie data from. Was it a quail's egg, two rashers from a very thin piglet, two thin slices taken from a baguette?
And no butter?
pah!

Bacon sandwich is not so healthy, so he wasn't doing her any favours there

And I'm guessing the BK was the healthier option? Confused

But sunny had the op made a unilateral decision he would drive her to Burger King? The op reads very much like she told him what would be happening
