Earlier DH and I were discussing dinner. Were talking a simple pasta dish with vegetables. Had it all planned out but I got sick and said I don't really feel up to eating so I'm going to sit dinner out tonight. He then gets all pissed off and says "well fine then. We had it all planned out but I guess I'll just have plain pasta instead." He proceeded to silent treatment me for 45 minutes until I asked him wtf was wrong. He said "I was really looking forward to it and now I can't have it." I told him of course he can I just won't be making it as I keep being sick. He sulks and says " just forget it then, I won't bother."

AIBU? Or should he have just boiled the bloody vegetables himself if it was that big a fucking deal!

I’d have made it, vomited into it, then served it to him.

It's not as if it's a long-winded Michelin star meal!

YANBU.

He sounds like a child. I'm guessing his mother did everything for him growing up?

milkytea · 02/10/2018 20:00

@FissionChips wish I'd have thought of that. Wouldn't want me cooking again Grin

He's pissed off that you feel inconveniently ill so won't be playing chef today. What a knob.

Emmageddon · 02/10/2018 20:03

Is your husband incapable of boiling a pan of water and and making a basic pasta sauce?

Christ on a bike, what a twat.

Eliza9917 · 02/10/2018 20:03

Now this thread warrants the comments the jacket potato thread got.

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 02/10/2018 20:04

You're being sick and all he cares about is who's going to make his dinner? He really expects you to get off the toilet / bed / sofa between throwing up to help him with something simple he could easily do himself?

Your post sounds kind of light-hearted but his lack of sympathy, laziness and acting like he doesn't care would really upset me

Also who the fuck wants dinner cooked for them by someone with a sickness bug!?!

lisasimpsonssaxophone · 02/10/2018 20:07

Ugh he sounds like my twat of an ex who, after I told him I’d had an upset stomach one morning, responded with ‘well can you make sure you wash your hands properly before you make my breakfast then?’ Angry

FaithHopeAndSkulduggery · 02/10/2018 20:08

What a testicle he is.

Raven88 · 02/10/2018 20:08

He should of made it if he wanted it. He sounds like a child

Slapbetcommissioner · 02/10/2018 20:09

What is the jacket potato thread? What replies did it get? Come back Eliza!

OP YANBU just let him sulk I to his plain pasta Hmm

YouTheCat · 02/10/2018 20:11

Unless there's a massive drip feed and he has no hands or something, he's a massive twat who needs to grow the fuck up.

Seniorschoolmum · 02/10/2018 20:13

He’s ridiculous. Tell him to get off his backside and cook his own tea.

He can read I presume, so he can follow a recipe.

This can't have just happened out of left field, OP. Have you made every meal since you ever met?

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 02/10/2018 20:29

He proceeded to silent treatment me for 45 minutes until I asked him wtf was wrong. He said "I was really looking forward to it and now I can't have it'

In all seriousness, I would last about one afternoon in a relationship with someone like this.

Silent treatment? Sulking? Getting pissed off over not being fed pasta sauce?

I just couldn't tolerate it, I really couldn't. I don't care what his redeeming qualities are - this is such immature, crappy behaviour.

Unless there's a massive drip feed and he has no hands or something

YANBU but he certainly is. Last year I had an appalling sickness bug, (went on for days and nearly ended up in hospital bad) my DP nursed me through it and at no point asked me to make his dinner.

He needs to grow up. I hope you feel better soon OP, being sick is so horrible.Have a bunch of Flowers

PlinkPlink · 02/10/2018 20:41

Dammit woman! How dare you be ill? How am I supposed to make the dinner now? What do you mean boil them? What?! You mean I have to just tip the water vegetables into the pan and put it on the hob and wait??

How very dare you!

Your OH is an arse. Tell him to grow the fuck up 😂😂

Hope you feel better soon OP

Would you say you are from an more middle class background than your dh?
