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.

I should imagine you and your partner are very slim OP and eat sparingly. Come round to our house when my DH orders pizza. It would feed a small village for a week. Grin Use your phone and credit card. Get the wine in.

I'd be raging! Agree with someone else order a delivery and eat it in bed!

xmaspresent · 11/01/2019 22:52

I don’t for a second believe he actually ate it out of spite for missing out on my (rather bland) baby intended pesto pasta. I think he probably just absentmindedly ate the whole damn pizza because it was tasty and he was hungry (forgetting that I was getting hangry upstairs) but rather than actually apologising properly and because he knows I’m pissed off with him, he’s deflecting it by blaming me.

No interaction with him. Grey rock until you can divorce the selfish cunt.

Gone to bed on an empty stomach? Tell him he's got to get on the phone and order you a Domino's (or similar). What are you? Woman or mouse?

blackteasplease · 11/01/2019 22:59

Yes well whatever the rights and wrongs, surely to god one of you is now on the phone ordering take away pizza and some wine for you to make up for it!

Now I want pizza

Xmasfairy86 · 11/01/2019 23:03

I get this far and no mention of food being ordered 😕

MorrisZapp · 11/01/2019 23:04

My DP used to be appallingly selfish about food and would play any card possible to get away with having it both ways ie anything that's mine is for sharing, anything that's his is for him.

I genuinely got a notebook and made him sign it each time, so it quickly became indefensible that he wanted sharing only when it suited him. Plus I went fucking mental at him and spelled out the utter unfairness of his ways.

He behaves reasonably now, and any nonsense gets sharply nipped in the bud. He's pretty embarrassed by his past twattery.

xmaspresent · 11/01/2019 23:08

No food ordered. Husband gone to bed-pissed off with me-in spare bedroom & locked the door! I’m in bed eating a left over Xmas box of quality street in bed. DS conked out.

Day 1- absolutely bossing working mum life.

How happy is he about you going back to work? Some men get very comfortable with the idea of their female partners as domestic servants while they are on maternity leave, and then resentful when the woman starts work again and therefore can't be persuaded into doing all the domestic stuff because she's 'at home all day'...

TatianaLarina · 11/01/2019 23:10

How is he pissed off with you when he ate all the pies?

fuzzyduck1 · 11/01/2019 23:10

You should have been quicker!
You snooze you loose!

Cut a circle out of the base of the box and serve it to the bastard for dinner tomorrow.

Franklyyes · 11/01/2019 23:13

It is a very stressful time but talk to each other - be up front about stuff i.e. What's for tea, what have we got in etc and try some team worker. It's difficult when u are so so tired but have a bit of a laugh about the cupboards being bare and what should you have. You are doing okay honest x

delboysskinandblister · 11/01/2019 23:15

sleep with his mate Grin

delboysskinandblister · 11/01/2019 23:16

I should never have said that.

What i meant was sleep with the pizza delivery bloke Wink

pomobrokemypogo · 11/01/2019 23:17

You haven't failed. He is behaving like a prize arsehole. At least you have chocolate Sad

blackteasplease · 11/01/2019 23:19

My exh used to be very selfish about nice food too.

Polishing off as much of a takeaway as possible as quickly as he could to get the lions share. Never wanted order more to make sure there was enough funnily enough!

DeaflySilence · 11/01/2019 23:21

"Husband gone to bed-pissed off with me-in spare bedroom & locked the door!"

Your husband has locked himself in the spare room and is pissed off with you, because he ate your dinner???

"He’s not normally someone who behaves like a twat"

You'll excuse me if I tell you that I'm just not getting that from this thread? In, fact, I think he not only behaves like a twat, I think he is a twat and, on this occasion at least, quite a nasty one.

StarrySky7 · 11/01/2019 23:22

He should have plated you some up and left it in another room if he was so tempted by it.

Eat his dinner tomorrow before he gets a chance.
