AIBU to have been sarky to DP about doritos

NC because his mums on here.
I decided to make us nachos which I then regretted because messing around with making chili, guacamole, salsa, grating cheese etc was really pissing me off when I just wanted to chill today actually.

So Im at final stage laying it all out and melting the cheese on top when dp comes behind me and rubs his hands down my sides (ugh) and then steals a posh dorito (UGH) and says 'these any good then?'. I didnt reply and he said 'oh yeah, they ARE good!' and i said 'im so relieved they meet his majestys standards'.

Then we had an argument, he accused me of being sarky, and I said I was pissed off at having to cook on a sunday actually. Btw, if I didnt cook his solution would probably be a bowl of cereal (slow clap).

What planet do you live on? I'd love to visit some time? Yes yes I bloody well do expect someone to jump to attention and stopvpissing around on a playstation when you have been cooked a meal that took up someone's time and energy to make? I could have just had a fucking bath instead! Sorry if asking someone to complete the draining action of PRESSING PAUSE on a PS controller to come and be spoon fed their nachos is some kind of big deal

You’re welcome anytime. Hell, if nachos constitutes a ‘cooked meal’ you can come any night. Even when the kids are ‘cooking’

I don’t expect any of them to stop doing something mid ‘move’ whether that’s practising a piece of music, completing a move in a game or finishing a page of a book... it’s called ‘planet reality’

If you’re so pissed of about making food, I suggest that you don’t have children... and that you get your DP told that you expect t his contribution to be better than coco pops!

Oh & if his mum is in here, all the better...why wasn’t he taught to cook growing up?

Tell him to guac off

IncrediblySadToo · 13/10/2019 18:22

Oh what was his arsey message?

Despite giving you a hard time (which you practically begged for!) I do think he sounds pretty fucking lazy & incompetent and that would piss me off.

MsChatterbox · 13/10/2019 18:25

I can see why you're annoyed. But if you want things to change then you need to be less reactive in the moment. Wait for your emotions to cool then say "when I am next cooking could you please wait until the food is finished before eating some". Also as he is at work now I think it is fine that he spent the morning relaxing. The same way presumebly you will be able to relax tonight but he won't be able to?

I think the main issue here is that you are annoyed he never cooks. So things like this get to you. When they wouldn't if you took it in turns cooking. If this is a big issue for you then you need to have a conversation about it. Say to him either we take it in turns cooking or you always do the dishes after I cook.

So to summarise the point I'm making is that you need to communicate with him more productively.

MsChatterbox · 13/10/2019 18:30

RE his message. You have both been arsey to each other day. You both need to work on your communication. Reply to him saying "Sorry that I got sarcastic with you earlier. I was feeling frustrated and took it out on you. I would like to talk to you tomorrow about how we can better divide the cooking".

Remember you are a team. You will only work if you work together. Deciding he can live off cereal for the rest of the week doesn't solve anything. It will just make you both more annoyed at each other. If you want to work, which I'm guessing you do from your message about loving him, then make more effort at resolving conflict rather than trying to win.

MarkinTime · 13/10/2019 18:33

I'm more more amazed that he went to work in an outdoor job in the rain on a snack and all she can moan about is a hard avocado while he had the audacity to actually touch her.
The blokes a perv! Phone the police and get him locked up quick.

butterybiscuitbasic · 13/10/2019 18:36

Op I know I’ve taken the piss a bit, but honestly it sounds like perhaps you do need to have an honest chat. It sounds like you’re expecting him to read your non clear cues - and he’s not.

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 18:39

Hes said: "I'll pick us something up for tea on the way back so you can get some rest. What you had to deal with today - nobody should have to experience that."

Jesus, sounds like he had everything the way he wants. And you’re planning on having kids with this specimen?

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 18:41

Which, no, because I was going to roast a camembert

JasonPollack · 13/10/2019 18:44

Hahaha I dunno if that's really arsey. Quite funny I think.

Just had nachos for my tea so thanks for that op they were lovely. Didn't even strain my wrists grating cheese.

MarkinTime · 13/10/2019 18:44

What you had to deal with today? No one should experience that?
Is he talking about a snack for lunch or him touching you? 😂
You're getting more bizarre with every post OP.

butterybiscuitbasic · 13/10/2019 18:45

Oh op 👏👏👏👏

Oakmaiden · 13/10/2019 18:49

Arsey - but funny.

blackteasplease · 13/10/2019 18:51

When you say chilli do you mean you made chilli c9n carne? That would be a different thing.

tbh I really find it annoying when someone pinches a bit of something you are chopping, cooking or assembling, especially with a cheeky grin on their face. I also think he was being very lazy.

Miltonj · 13/10/2019 18:52

Most Yabu Aibu i've ever read.

Oakmaiden · 13/10/2019 18:53

In fairness, though, I get fucked off if I am doing something and my husband comes up behind me and gropes me.

SlightlyStaleCocoPops · 13/10/2019 18:55

"Which, no, because I was going to roast a camembert"

Are you going to blame him that for as well?

Douberry · 13/10/2019 18:57

Really hungry for nachos now

sweeneytoddsrazor · 13/10/2019 18:59

Would it help if you had a more grown up cereal like weetabix or porridge or really push the boat out and have granola.

butterybiscuitbasic · 13/10/2019 19:02

@sweeneytoddsrazor well if it’s posh Doritos Posh cereal should follow

PoshNachosButJustDoritos · 13/10/2019 19:02

Ah!I think he's either been reading this thread/ or his mum indeed knows it's you (specific details not difficult to figure out if he's talked to her) OR he's on Disney having a moan about his wife loathing his touch and being arsey for no reason (as he isn't a mind readers he wouldn't know why).

PoshNachosButJustDoritos · 13/10/2019 19:02

Dadsnet not disney ffs!

CormacMcLaggen · 13/10/2019 19:03

push the boat out and have granola

Nah, way too much sugar. Better OP sticks to roasted cheese.

tiajon · 13/10/2019 19:08

If you made it all from scratch why would you have specified 'grating cheese' in the list of efforts, as if that was a hard part?

What a silly post
