(Name changed)
.......said by DH at the end of an argument.
I commented that we had some fresh bits in the fridge we needed to use up.
Dh said I should have cooked them then -
I replied that he could have cooked them, not just me.
He replied that he doesn't cook those dishes (simple pasta bakes etc).
I said he needed to learn to cook, he said if he can't cook (it's not what I said but he often twists what I say) he won't be cooking for DC's. (As in nuggets, salad, chips etc) To which I said fine, but I would need to take dc to a club on a Tuesday as they need to eat first and he'd need to do my task instead which is much more work, he said I would have to cook something for DC so he could give them that instead on that day. I said no, that would be lazy.
Dh replied that if he is lazy (Twisted, again) he will stop helping at all and watch me 'suffer'. I said fine - but you will need to leave, to which he refused.
And said 'without me you are nothing'.
He later tried to say he meant we are a team which is obviously a bunch of crap. How can I communicate with him?
What I say isn't what he hears. And to belittle me so easily, is it salvageable?
