He just went and got me a cup of tea and a hot cross bun. He only put butter one one side. One fucking side Angry. What sort of deviant eats hot cross buns either a) without butter, or b) like a sandwich. I'm ltb.

He's clearly after a row and make up sex.

OuaisMaisBon · 06/02/2018 18:38

Sorry, OP, YAB deeply U - the Hot Cross Buns need to be halved and lightly toasted so that the lashings of salted butter melt all over them on both sides.

Weezol · 06/02/2018 18:40

Is he showing any remorse, or carrying on like nothing has happened? If he's sweeping this under the carpet, it's a massive red flag. Maybe you should show him this thread?

Please show him this thread and film his reaction. Then show us the film. Please. It's nearly my birthday (October) and I've been really good and everything and my knees hurt and it might take my mind off the pain. Gowan gowan gowan Blush

Sorry, was that a bit much? I can't have any pain killers until 7 and I'm a bit needy today.

KEEP AWAY FROM MY PANCAKE

holycityzoo · 06/02/2018 18:49

Sorry but you are all bu.
You need a lightly toasted bun, no butter, raspberry jam and extra thick double cream.

buzzybuzzbuzz · 06/02/2018 18:49

I would be devastated!

DH once made me some crumpets and took a bite saying it must of broken off in the toaster! I was not happy!
It was warburtons too!!!

booqueue · 06/02/2018 18:52

i cut in half, butter one side, put back together and eat...

geekone · 06/02/2018 18:54

holy that is just wrong on so many levels 🤢

TitsalinaBumSqoosh · 06/02/2018 18:55

I'd give my right arm for a cuppa and a hot cross bun that someone else brought to me ... not my left arm though because that's my eating arm. Grin

TitsalinaBumSqoosh · 06/02/2018 19:01

Also I went to a (now ex) friends house, she promised me a plate piled high with HCBs dripping in butter .... (brace yourselves) it was indeed heavily spread, with .... peanut butter.

I had blanked that out my memory and now this thread has made it return and I'm sad. I'll be sending your H a bill for therapy.

Lndnmummy · 06/02/2018 19:02

OP I’m so sorry to hear this. He doesn’t care about your feelings or what is important to you. You can’t spend the rest of your life like this. You can see a solicitor for 30 min consultation and prepare as much as you can by taking copies of bank statement all paperwork etc.

Also you might want to seek some support IRL. Is there anyone you can talk to?

Mcakes · 06/02/2018 19:22

I have nothing much to add but couldn't just read and run.

I have been there too. I sadly had to go NC with a family member a few years ago after she brought me a HCB that was buttered on both sides, but was completely UNTOASTED. Clearly I just couldn't carry on as if nothing had happened so though it best just to make a clean break.

Wishing you all the best, whatever you decide to do.

Charolais · 06/02/2018 19:26

Men can be such idiots. I have learned to fend for myself when it comes to decent cups of tea. I dread to think what he would do to a hot-cross bun.

He tried to feed me a raw cold untoasted bagel once - no butter let alone cream cheese. I still can’t talk about it.

smilingontheinside · 06/02/2018 19:27

This had made me laugh whilst on a hot holiday where it is cold and wet and I have not packed suitable clothing so am freezing Grin

manicmij · 06/02/2018 19:27

Why are you eating HCBs when Easter eggs, oops sorry, chocolate eggs are available. Don't need butter!

tolerable · 06/02/2018 19:29

have you ever actually been married if "HE" dooz that?

MulhuddartDrive · 06/02/2018 19:59

I'm sorry to say he has gone about his whole day completely unperturbed by last night's... incident. He even went off to training this evening without so much as a conciliatory replenishment of the hcb stash.

My ducks are rowing...

LaurieF · 06/02/2018 20:08

This is nothing... my husband knows that I hate egg white and love egg too... the first time he made me a proper breakfast I walked into the kitchen to see him scraping the yolk into the bin and leaving the white on the plate... apparently he got "confused". Fucking deviant!

LaurieF · 06/02/2018 20:09

Should say that I love the egg yolk! Silly autocorrect.

Basseting · 06/02/2018 20:19

Row row row your ducks
Gently down the stream
If your buns are buttered one side
Don't forget to scream

Row row row your boat
Gently up the creek
If you see an untoasted bun
Don't forget to shriek

Row row row your buns
Gently to the plate
If 'd'H gets it badly wrong
Resort to patio-hate

Rock rock rock your toaster
Gently to and fro
If you need another one
Lurpak's the way to go

MulhuddartDrive · 06/02/2018 20:35

DickTERFin · 06/02/2018 20:38

Untoasted I can live with if they are M&S luxury ones that are super soft and succulent (not your Tesco's cheapy ones which are fine for toasting but are an insult to the palate eaten "raw") but butter on one side if fucking unforgivable!

I mean, what horrors happened to him in his life to think that that is how human beings behave?!

He needs therapy, possibly as an inpatient somewhere and you need to take care of you and get to a safe place ie on the sofa with ACCEPTABLY served fruited carbs.

Shakes head at the state of the world.

curlilox · 06/02/2018 20:39

I love hot cross buns just as they come, no butter. I put them in microwave for 20-30 seconds. lovely!

HattietheManatee · 06/02/2018 20:39

YBVU to eat hot cross buns before even pancake day.

Next you’ll be telling us you’ve eaten a creme egg already
