AIBU to find his request to feed him grapes annoying?

Last night I came in from work late at about 10:20pm. I’ve been really ill with the flu since Christmas Eve and the night before I was up with my 3 year old son who was ill. As you can imagine I was pretty tired and desperate for bed. I was in the kitchen making myself a lemsip and the OH comes in and asks me if I will feed him grapes. I thought it was just a joke so I fobbed him off. He became more persistent, producing some grapes. I said it was silly and I was too tired. I was annoyed. He kept going on about it so I took one grape and tried to stuff it in his mouth. He got angry and said I wasn’t being very sensual. Fair enough, but it wasn’t the right time (not sure there would ever be a right time to be honest). I went to bed.
This morning he’s barely talking to me.
Then at work he sends me this image with the text “well?” He’s being really persistent about it and gets really hurt and offended every time I say I’m not interested. He’s now talking about getting a villa just so we can reanact this grape eating scenario. He’s really trying to push me into it.
Am I being unreasonable to think his request is ridiculous?

None of this makes any sense. What did we miss?

RebelRogue · 09/01/2018 18:31

The fuck?!?

Mezzamay · 11/01/2018 14:01

Haha! I love this... my only worry is that he would take it seriously and actually buy all that stuff Grin

Urgh, I'm not used to how the posts on this forum work... sorry, my last message was aimed at livefornaps

"Haha! I love this... my only worry is that he would take it seriously and actually buy all that stuff"

Don't know how to block quote either as there doesn't appear to be an option...

Eliza9917 I think he's trying to wield some weird kind of control over me... he did recently complain that I "obviously didn't love him very much" as I wasn't willing to do this for him. Hmm

Hmm tell him to get fucked then

Agh tell him to get fucked if it's a control thing

Feeding grapes is the precursor to foreplay. Just enjoy yourself - it could be a long night.

Fangbanger66 · 11/01/2018 15:38

Either go along with his little fantasy or do what Pink had said...blind fold him with a chilli. He'll not ask againHmm

Luckingfovely · 11/01/2018 15:46

I literally have no words. But can't look away Grin

PsychoPumpkin · 11/01/2018 15:52

Can he not feed himself grapes? Seeing as he’s being such a toddler about it, perhaps you ought to slice them lengthways for him, don’t want any accidents, now!

BatShite · 11/01/2018 17:02

How strange... seems very random

VladmirsPoutine · 11/01/2018 17:04

I'm just waiting for the controlling and abusive ---> LTB posts.

AnachronisticCorpse · 11/01/2018 17:07

Hah! My ex husband once had a tantrum because I wouldn’t call the local radio station to do an ‘ohmigod I love you so much’ dedication for him.

The twat.

DeleteOrDecay · 11/01/2018 17:09

Oh Jesus Christ. What a twat.

BulletFox · 11/01/2018 17:11

Mezza place a grape between your pert, petal like lips and extend it for him to lovingly nibble at as a gesture of submission

ignore your illness, buck up

SapphireSeptember · 11/01/2018 17:31

I'd tell him to get a fucking life. You're the one who's ill, he should be feeding you grapes, and lemsip, and some nice soup. Angry

Some men certainly know how to pick an inappropriate moment.

LisaMed1 · 11/01/2018 18:07

When it comes to 'weird stuff as seen on Mumsnet' it isn't the worst I've seen and at least I can click on it with my 11 yr old around, but seriously?

Is he feeling neglected and in need of some adoration and worship?

Onesmallstepforaman · 11/01/2018 18:12

Buy a catapult, tell him to undress and lay back on the couch/bed/marble bench. Feed him the grapes with the catapult. Bet he's not hungry for long

FatherChewieLouie · 11/01/2018 18:15

Depends on where the villa will be.

ForagingForFaerieGold · 11/01/2018 18:30

He's clearly off his chump. Grin

TheGirlWithAllTheFeathers · 12/01/2018 12:32

Tell him you want to do 50 shades of way hay and tie him to the bed. Then go out and have a spa afternoon.

TheGirlWithAllTheFeathers · 12/01/2018 12:33

BURNED!!!!
