Apparently I am.

I was stood talking to him and it was one of those did I just see that moments.

Not only does he have a stinking but he licked the fucking spoon out the curry then plonked it back in to stir it. Potentially killing us all in the process. Absolute minger.

Apparently everyone does it (( they don't))

So AIBU in making him order takeaway from the rather amazing curry house up the road ?? lets face It, takeaway curry always tastes better and I have the perfect excuse

I really thought that the two spoon method was commonly taught in cooking classes.

You just need a sampling and a tasting spoon => two spoons.

Ayhow, I think I'd be rather annoyed (if I was the OP's husband. It's such an obvious excuse for wanting to order take-away...)

Heliophilous · 10/02/2018 19:25

You sound really OTT, OP. Do you generally have problems with anxiety about hygiene?

TheCatsPaws · 10/02/2018 19:28

It’s your DP.

I’d be horrified if it were anyone else but I wouldn’t mind if it were my DP.

timeisnotaline · 10/02/2018 19:31

Well I guess that will put him off cooking again

OlennasWimple · 10/02/2018 19:32

Are you planning to share a bed with him tonight? You're as likely to catch his cold from being in the same living space as him licking a spoon in the middle of a lengthy cooking process TBH

AgentZigzag · 10/02/2018 19:34

Oh FFS, OP's being lighthearted! She doesn't really think he's going to start the next pandemic Hmm

She's posted to get MN permission to order a takeaway, which you may Strange, but only if you get enough popadoms to go round anyone saying YANBU.

Corkscrewbetty · 10/02/2018 19:35

I think the OP was trying out one of those "funny" posts... like the hot cross bun one. HIlarious stuff.

BuzzKillington · 10/02/2018 19:36

Wow - I wouldn't care if it was my dh, cooking for family. We even shared a pudding and spoon at a restaurant today Shock

I brushed my teeth with his fancy pants toothbrush this morning too.

Messagefromyoshimi · 10/02/2018 19:39

My friend’s husband ate it instead.

Shockers that is so grim!

Shockers · 10/02/2018 19:41

I know! I thought he was taking it to put in the bin for me!

I wasn't 'trying out ' anything.

I've been on mumsnet for years, since 2005 at least so I'm well versed in the nostril flared, oh so serious people who are far too invested and get oh so outraged over the most mundane of things so chose not to respond.

It was a light hearted post, I just wondered if other people found double dipping vile........yes we have sex. No, we probably wouldn't have sex when he's oozing snot from every pore.

No, I wouldn't kiss him when he's full of cold.

I wouldn't lick his nostrils either.......

Yes. It's a pointless post, but then again mumsnet wouldn't exist without pointless posts, plus I'm a rather pointless human being.

We did order a takeaway. Dp' s stuck his snot flecked curry in the freezer because he isn't one to miss out on a take out curry.

That's about as exciting as it gets.

DuckAndPancakes · 10/02/2018 19:47

This is horrendous.

Not.

You’re sharing a bed, you’re sharing germs. Also as said above, you’ve probably had worse of his bodily fluids in your mouth.

Blonde87 · 10/02/2018 19:48

Are you for real.

Heratnumber7 · 10/02/2018 19:48

Cold germs are transmitted via air, not saliva

beboldbebluntbehonest · 10/02/2018 19:50

I don't know why but even if the germs have been sent to the fires of hell, I still couldn't eat it if my dh double dipped his spoon in the curry he was cooking for our dinner. I kiss him loads btw so I'm not sure why I feel like this but I'm the same with my kids. I would rather die of thirst than drink out the same bottle that my kids have drunk out of. I actually feel sick thinking about that 🤢

beboldbebluntbehonest · 10/02/2018 19:51

Ummm definitely make him order you all curry.

danTDM · 10/02/2018 19:51

OP you'll be divorced in a few years from the sounds of it. Don't worry.

rothbury · 10/02/2018 19:53

YABU

It doesn't sound as though you like him very much.

Sparklingbrook · 10/02/2018 19:54

Grin at 'divorced' where did that come from?

OP is it too late to put light hearted in the title? People seem grumpy tonight. Grin

Messagefromyoshimi · 10/02/2018 19:54

Go on.... Make me jealous. What have you ordered? Smile

AgentZigzag · 10/02/2018 19:58

'OP you'll be divorced in a few years from the sounds of it.'

Shock You're not even joking saying that are you?

What a totally bizarre post.

maddiemookins16mum · 10/02/2018 19:58

It's a somewhat extreme reaction imho.

VioletCharlotte · 10/02/2018 19:59

You probably are being dramatic, but if I'm honest I'd feel the same. Seeing someone lick a spoon then put it in food I was going to eat would just put me off.

woodlanddreamer · 10/02/2018 20:06

Colds are droplet infections, not from saliva. Or on hands from doorknobs (or spoons!) & then transferred by rubbing your eyes.

AgentZigzag · 10/02/2018 20:11

Wouldn't droplet infections get spread by coughing or sneezing whatever's in your mouth woodland? Or am I misunderstanding your post?
