Thinking DH is fucking useless!

[OhFuckingLisaMorgan]

I've sent DH up to the shops to get something simple for supper as I'm not feeling too well hungover. Firstly he wanted me to txt him to tell him what to buy. Annoying, but fine. Then he txt to ask what it looks like (I've asked him to get a cooked chicken!), so I sent him a google image. Now he's asked where in the fucking shop it is!!!

He's just txt to ask if he can just get something simpler!!! Wtf is simpler than a cooked fucking chicken!!

I bet he comes home without it!

Yanbu...he is pathetic and frankly I’m embarrassed for him.

However, it might well be a case of him thinking this is so inconvenient and beneath him he wants you to take responsibility anyway. In which case he’s not only pathetic but selfish too.

I bet he’s not useless at all, just fucking lazy.

An incompetent husband.

Nick away, folks. Nick away 😊

I reckon he will come back without the chicken as he couldn't find it

My dp does most of the cooking and some shopping but what annoys me is that he will just buy anything and not look at prices of things. He will pick up an expensive packet of rice rather than a cheaper one even though they both taste the same.

DH was like this when I met him.

DH is no longer like this now.

It's learned helplessness, if you broke up what would he do? He'd go and look for the effing chicken. It's a supermarket not a game of orienteering.

I am VERY hungover

Are you a teacher OP? I am very hungover too (and like a tit left all my holiday packing til today)

I'm just staying here to see what he comes home with :D

Jesus! I don't want to sound smug. But how do all these useless men manage to get married to functioning women?

Does he expect you to fancy him when he's acting like such a baby?

Don’t facilitate this uselessness anymore. From tomorrow on make it your mission to take your utterly manchildish husband into an autonomous adult by doing almost nothing for him a competent adult should do for themselves. Nothing, each and every day. This is a matter of urgency for you as you never know when your next hangover will hit.

If this is real, I am another wondering why the hell would anyone marry someone so inept, male or female?

Yes, what is easier than bag of salad & cooked chicken ? Hope he finds his way ! You can now call him a ‘hunter gatherer’.

Well, what did he buy OP?

at having to send him an actual picture of a cooked chicken. He is absolutely ridiculous. Just tell him not to come back without it and ignore any further texts

Sorry, we've been eating our supper consisting of fresh bread, coleslaw, salad and..... posh cheese!!

There were chickens there, but he said they looked 'too gross to touch' as the packs were a bit greasy (like they always are!!)

Luckily we had a posh chutney in the fridge or I would be really bloody cross! Plus, he bought just enough for dinner do there is no sneaky 1/4 of a baguette left for me to cover with butter and snarf down when no one is looking later! Stupid man, I'm not sending him again....which is probably exactly what he wants! I'd rather shop myself though than be sans chicken and left over baguette at 10.30pm!!

And to the PP who is also a hungover teacher, I wish you god speed in your recovery! I feel like death warmed up but at least I have 6 weeks to recover!

Why couldn't he have cooked his own lunch if he didn't want a McDonalds?

I have just commented on another thread about a pathetic man who can't go shopping.

I normally do all the buying and cooking. He is 39 however and I was under the impression I was his wife, not his mum!

He clearly thinks that you're his mum if he can't manage to buy one thing you wanted and moans because the lunch that you want for yourself isn't good enough for him but he's clearly not capable to sort himself out.

“Stupid man, I'm not sending him again....which is probably exactly what he wants!“

No...clever man...stupid you. Sorry to be blunt.

It’s not cute, or funny. He’s not adorably useless. But whatever. You do the shopping then.

@ScrommidgeClaryAndSpunt that reply should definitely do the trick! Love it

Be strategic OP. If you're still doing all the shopping and cooking, buy the stuff you like and 'forget' the things he does. Or be unable to find them in the shop He may become more motivated to do some shopping. Even if he just complains, there are very good noise cancelling headphones available now.
