So we usually do our regular online shop at Sainsbury's, because this is one of the very few supermarkets that shock what DH likes for his dinners (very restrictive dietary needs).

Anyway, I've just noticed Morrison's sale the same thing for cheaper, it's on offer. Only about 30p difference, but we by several of these so it all adds up. Plus, their basics are cheaper.

DH is putting his foot down and saying no, he doesn't want to try Morrison's.

I've asked why and he says there's no point. I said we could save £5/10. He said I don't really care about saving a few quid Confused

Yeah, like we have money to just burn Hmm

So I asked again, and he said it's just too much faff to change.
I said but I've signed up instantly. He says no, I'm comfortable with Sainsbury's so leave it at that.

AIBU to think he's being bloody dim? Why wouldn't you save just a few quid? Why spend more money, even small amounts, when you don't have to?

He's adamant it's too much hassle. And says he isn't interested in saving a few quid. It's not worth it.

For context, either myself or him order the online shop. I was going to do it so it's not like he had to go out of his way to sign up or anything. I'd already done it.

In annoyance, he's agreed to add it all up and see if there's any difference at all. Sod's law it'll cost the same overall or be more expensive.

Not really sure why I'm writing this, perhaps I just need a rant Envy

He will most likely see the thread and get the hump. Hopefully it doesn't turn out that I'm U!

So glad to hear that. I bet you thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful of that lunch! A few more meals like that will do you the world of good.

As a pp said, don't be taken in by promises and tears, it's like they follow a script, crying, begging, pleading, making promises to change, and if none of that works, they get angry, call you names, say you're mental and you're not fit to look after the baby, so they'll take you to court and get custody.

Don't listen to it, it's all lies. If you go back after he's promised to change, he'll be nice for a week or two, but will then go back to his old ways. These men don't want custody of the children, because that would mean they would have to do the parenting and all the household chores that come with it. They're far too lazy for that, and it would cramp their style.

Over in the Relationships forum, there's a sticky thread, titled something like "Listen Up", it will have more information on there. Go and have a read.

Have a lovely time with your family.

So pleased! I did worry when I brought up the miscarriage that I'd done wrong and you might not come back but its such a difficult time you need people that love you and want to look after you.

Really pleased somebody is doing that now! xx
