To think he's being ridiculous?

DH is very, very fussy. Honestly it's like having a third child and annoying that he won't eat so many things.

We ran out of bread yesterday and I popped to the garage in the evening on the way home from a day out (only place open on a Sunday evening) and all they had left was brown bread. DH views brown bread as an implement of torture.

Tomorrow we are planning a family fell walk. I asked him to make some sandwiches this evening whilst I dealt with the kids. He's made everyone a sandwich except himself.

I asked him why and he said he didn't want one and would just eat "the other bits." The other bits being a packet of crisps.

I think he's hoping I'll dip into the party food I'm keeping for DDs birthday party in a few days time. Think sausage rolls etc. This is not happening.

I know I should just leave him to it but it just means that tomorrow he'll be grumpy when he gets hungry and he'll put a dampener on the day, like he so often does. AIBU to think he's being ridiculous and that brown bread is perfectly edible?

This probably seems petty but I have many issues with this relationship and just need to vent!

It’s not fussy not to eat something u don’t like ffs. If this was the other way round you’d be called controlling

Im sure there is other food in the house besides the party food. Why can he pack himself some cheese and biscuits, why does he get to have exactly what he wants (at some expense to OPs organization for the party) when he could probably figure something out to eat that may not be as nice as a sausage roll but is still acceptable.
Hes thrown his toys out of the pram (bag of crisps) and is hoping OP is going to solve his strop with his preferred food.

He hasn't even sulked or stropped yet.
OP just suspects he will.
I think maybe we should give him a chance.

You sound controlling and as if you don’t like him. Maybe work on that?

Poor bloke. All he said is ‘i’ll Just have crisps’.

Maybe work on that?

I'm right on top of that, Rose.
