ALMOST in tears over a can of tuna

[aryto]

I know I'm being crazy and unreasonable but I just need to rant. DP asked what I wanted from the shops for dinner (he was going out). I'm trying to eat healthily so opted for tuna salad, I specified that I wanted tuna in sunflower oil and spinach, he came back with rocket and tuna in brine. I'm not proud of myself and I would like to attribute my actions entirely to being hangry (have only had toast today) but I threw what can only be described as a fit. He swanned off to a steakhouse and I was left with my plate of weeds. Why does he consistently do this? Always bringing back the kind-of-right-but-wrong-thing? Especially as I always go out of my way for him. Anyway, I know I'm an immature nutter right now and should be grateful to have a plate of food but I just need to wallow in self-pity.

@counterpoint than fresh tuna obviously 🙄**

I cried once because I lost a game of cards when I was pregnant and also because someone put sugar in my tea :p

Listen, my DH went out to get me some double cream when I was pregnant and came back with ELMLEA ffs. I nearly did a murder. Yanbu.

Also, in my last pregnancy I craved tuna. I think you can have up to four cans a week safely.

I remember being upset when I was pregnant (also had bad morning sickness). I craved a lot of salt so asked DH to get me some butter so I could cover everything in butter and sate my craving...he came back with unsalted butter. I was devastated.

Ahhh pregnancy hormones.

Reminds me of the time I burst into tears because my sister overcooked my scrambled eggs when I was pregnant, and they were ALL RUINED. Ruined, I tell you. I howled for at least an hour.

You'll look back at the tuna incident and laugh, I promise OP.

YANBU rocket is disgusting
however - you need tuna in spring water

BigDamnHero my DH has also done that. I added salt to the butter like some kind of heathen because I needed my fix. That was definitely one of my pregnancy craving low points 😂

Dh does this and it drives me nuts.

He'll ask if I want cheese on toast for lunch and what I get is something unexpected like cheese mustard and mayo on toast.

I asked him to buy a bottle of gin for his sister visiting, (she's on a medically restricted diet and can't have sugar), and rather than buy a standard bottle of gin he comes back with sugary forest fruits gin that none of us will drink.

Damn I don’t even have to be pregnant for me to throw a tantrum when my husband does this. I asked him to get a specific type of cheese—even wrote it down for him and handed him the piece of paper. Of course he bought the wrong cheese and I flipped. I’m quite fiery though and he knows that and slunk back to the store to get the right one. Fuck the tuna. Just call your husband and get him to bring you home a steak. Hope you’ll feel a little better tomorrow.

I cried a few weeks ago because I wanted nothing more than tuna with salad cream, we didn't have any salad cream, I'd eaten the last of it the week before and forgot. DH went to the sainsbos local and came back with salad cream, salad dressing, two types of mayo (light and normal) and something I'd never seen before called coleslaw dressing, looking slightly fearful. It's ok OP, I don't think your DH is a scoundrel, he made a mistake and possibly thought brine was healthier. He did offer to get you whatever take out you wanted. It's also ok to be devastated.

Tuna in brine is healthier than oil!!

@TotHappy this is still NHS advice, tinned tuna fine fresh tuna counts in your oily fish quota , I'm not sure what all the kicking off about tuna is about 😂

@IamPickleRick that is an absolute travesty, Elmlea is not and will never be anything other than a poor excuse for a cream substitute. Hope you did the right thing and LTB

Tuna in brine is healthier than oil!!

Why? Why is salty water better than an oil (and we need fats in our diet) which has no saturated fat in it?

I'm pregnant and cried when the Chinese was closed when it was the only thing I could face eating. Hangry has become a real part of my everyday life. My DP has also come home with the wrong thing before and it's been so upsetting!

I cried because DH bought me chocolate yazoo rather than chocolate milk from the shop. I declared it too frothy and he looked at me like I’d lost my mind 😂

Pregnancy is all kinds of fun, but I agree that rocket is just weeds. Bleugh.

I did ugly crying when I was pregnant and dh went to Gregg's but forgot to get me a strawberry tart.

Now, I'm not sure how familiar you are with the fickle nature of tarts and Gregg's but there comes a point, about the end of August, when they just whip those little buggers off the shelf never to be seen again till May. I cried and cried.

What is bloody wrong with these fuckwits, can't go to the shops and buy the correct items, how on earth do they manage to stay employed.

But did he put the screw in the tuna?!
