Husband ate my supper.

It was my first day back at work today and my sons first day at nursery today. It's been a bit emotionally taxing and so I was looking forward to a relaxing Friday night treat of a glass of wine and a pizza in front of the TV with my DH. It took a while to nurse my baby son to sleep(after a big day), so after having lovely pizza-y aromas wafting up the stairs, I was pretty hungry. I arrived downstairs to find that my husband had already tucked in to the wine and pizza leaving only three small slices (one of those long gourmet pizza platter things). I was already a bit pissed off at the point. I literally only managed a slurp of wine and one slice of pizza before having to go up resettle my son. When I re-emerged downstairs, DH had scoffed the lot. Cupboards otherwise bare, not even toast. When challenged, I only got an 'ohh...sorry' and just went back to reading his paper. I'm so pissed off that I've gone to bed early on an empty stomach rather than sit in the same room as him.

We do normally have a meal but I honestly can’t even remember what DH and I ended up eating last as I was stressing out about today!

Honestly? I think he’s pissed off you’ve gone back to work and he might have to... Do Something.

slappinthebass · 11/01/2019 22:26

Please order yourself a pizza and don't offer him any.

WitchDancer · 11/01/2019 22:26

You're nursing a baby, therefore you need food. I would at this point be melting down and insisting he gets you something else because he has been a greedy bastard

slappinthebass · 11/01/2019 22:26

Actually do offer him some, that will make him feel bad.

Cheeringmeup · 11/01/2019 22:27

I think that tomorrow he takes you and your son out for a nice (early) dinner, or orders a substantial take away dinner for you both to have at home.
He must also realise that you are back at work now and he really should share the childcare, at least for the period between “home from work” and bedtime for dc.
Also, next time he tries steals your pizza, you are completely entitled to impale his hand with your fork 😊

greendale17 · 11/01/2019 22:28

You only had 1 pizza for 2 people??????

Schmoobarb · 11/01/2019 22:29

Greedy selfish pig.

WorraLiberty · 11/01/2019 22:29

The OP has already said the pizza was big enough for them both.

derxa · 11/01/2019 22:31

Off topic but why do you say "my baby" instead of "our baby"
I never ever said 'my baby'. It's odious

Craftycorvid · 11/01/2019 22:31

Heavens! If you do him in, you can bury him under our patio, OP.....and we don’t have a patio....we’ll build one. Flowers

HerSymphonyAndSong · 11/01/2019 22:32

He is selfish

And supper is a completely normal name for your evening meal for many people so I’m sure other posters can get over that one

Lookatmemeow · 11/01/2019 22:33

Get up tomorrow and take yourself off for a long breakfast alone with the Sat papers at a lovely cafe. Or LTB.

I'd go for the breakfast.

GabsAlot · 11/01/2019 22:33

oh sorry? yeah thats what id say if i stabbed someone after eating my pizza

he sounds like a child u ate my pasta how old is he five

Parttimewasteoftime · 11/01/2019 22:36

When nursing you need the pizza 🍕 You are feeding your child! I would have killed at that stage if DH stole my pizza.
Honestly OP line in the sand.

xmaspresent · 11/01/2019 22:36

TBH, I’d never really thought twice about the term “my baby” but thinking about it I can see what you mean.

LBOCS2 · 11/01/2019 22:36

Hang on - so he's pissed off that you didn't provide him with food last night, so he's eaten all the dinner tonight in revenge?

What a cunt. He's an adult, he should be more than capable of fending for himself, let alone his partner who is now not only working full time but also doing the bulk of the child wrangling (because if you're still feeding your baby and still settling them like that, you are doing the bulk, no matter how hands on he is).

I would have been absolutely apoplectic in this situation. Divorce would almost certainly have been mentioned. (I am not nice when I'm hungry, I will admit).

pomobrokemypogo · 11/01/2019 22:39

Absolutely spiteful fucker. Sorry he's treating you like this. I'd be incandescent and planning to LTB. Hard to imagine this is a one-off either Flowers

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 11/01/2019 22:42

I'd have set his fucking paper on fire, the greedy swine, who the fuck eats all the pizza while their OH is upstairs settling their child?

Does he ever do any food shopping or cook meals?

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 11/01/2019 22:44

I'm coming round now Op, with a pizza and a shovel.

LannieDuck · 11/01/2019 22:46
  1. He needs to be sorting out the baby if he's eaten and you haven't.
  1. He'll have known full well how much of the pizza he ate. He's very selfish.
  1. When you finished off the pesto he was going to have for dinner, you offered to make something else for him. He cited that as the same as what he did tonight.... so what's he going to make for you instead?
TigerTooth · 11/01/2019 22:47

If he's usually a decent guy then maybe he thought you'd had enough when you went up to baby?
I would either order take away or be a martyr and eat cold baked beans with a fork straight from the tin.

I really don't get what's wrong with supper?

gamerchick · 11/01/2019 22:47

He held a grudge? Hmm seriously what's going on with your food stores? One of you do a shop man!!

Ok sorry but why did you only have one pizza anyway. That’s not enough for 2 grown adults

Really? How much pizza do you eat where you need 2 pizzas for 2 adults?

Peoniesandcats · 11/01/2019 22:47

I read the title as that he ate your slipper Grin

gamerchick · 11/01/2019 22:49

That would have been an entertaining thread if he has are the slipper Grin
