AIBU to have been sarky to DP about doritos

299 replies

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 14:30

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).

YABU for thinking nachos is cooking

Hederex · 13/10/2019 15:31

Unless you grew and ground your own maize at his behest, YWBU.

Butterymuffin · 13/10/2019 15:31

Make sure he does all the cleaning up and washing up. Next time his mum comes, remind him it's his turn to cook.

AuntieMarys · 13/10/2019 15:31

I've poured a tequila

smileylottie87 · 13/10/2019 15:31

He nicked a crisp, unless you had 2 crisps on your nacho extravaganza calm down. A fairly hard avocado 😂 that must have been really tough for you, sounds like it's nacho day OP

RolyRolyRolyPoly · 13/10/2019 15:32

But have you fucking told him that ffs! Hows the poor bastard to know you loathe his touch at certain times?

And if he eats wheelie bin cocoa puffs and cornflakes, what's it to you? Since you seem to care enough for him to make food, the don't fecking grumble or leave him to it!

Butchyrestingface · 13/10/2019 15:32

A combination of things really, mainly because I dont see why I should be fucking around in a kitchen on a Sunday whilst he chills on the PS because otherwise it's a bowl of slightly stale coco pops. And also dont eat whilst I'm still fucking MAKING IT, also dont touch me whilst I'm still making it, it just makes me feel like some kind of sort of sexual maternal figure slave if you get what I mean

I do get what you mean when you explain it to US on here. Whether or not I agree with you is a different thing but you are entitled to your feelings. Smile

However, as PP have said, have you communicated these feelings to your PARTNER, or do you expect him to be able to intuitively guess?

Vampyress · 13/10/2019 15:32

You decided as a fully grown adult to make some food because you fancied it rather than a simple meal your hubby would make, and then you were repulsed by your hubbys affection and the fact he engaged with you by trying the nachos you bought?

Sounds like its time to think about what you wanytout of life because in two paragraphs I can tell fairly clearly you severely dislike your husband.

A sexual maternal figure slave mashing a fairly hard avocado. Op LTB

EskewedBeef · 13/10/2019 15:33

Mashing a fairly hard avocado 😂

My husband is currently assembling a crumble (not a posh one, mind you). I'll test his plums for firmness before touching anything else.

But you know, come on we've all been there, pissed off of a Sunday. I admit I was sarky and it would have been better to have a mature soulful conversation with him.

But you know I'm just a normal human bean like any other ;)

OP why doesn't your DP cook? Perhaps you feel frustrated because you are aware you've become his mother and don't want to be..

I don't ask my DP if he's ready for his dinner, and I rarely if ever make it unless I am doubling a portion of what I already want. You don't 'have' to cook on a sunday or any other day, if your DP won't cook and expects you to by default then your choice of partner is the issue tbh.

WorraLiberty · 13/10/2019 15:34

Human 'bean' Grin Grin

I love this thread

SoupDragon · 13/10/2019 15:36

I would understand mor if he'd squeezed your breasts or humped you from behind or he'd' made you make nachos but none of those things happened. You decided to make nachos from scratch, he showed you affection, you bit his head off.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 13/10/2019 15:36

YANBU OP. I hate it when people try to touch me when I'm mashing fairly hard avocados.

@dontgobaconmyheart
Well I didn't have a choice re letting him know it was ready, it wasnt like I was running around in a pinny shouting up the stairs "darling the nachos are ready!". I had to ask him if he was ready because he was sitting on the bloody table playing PS and the table was where I needed to out the nachos down. So it was more like my way of saying "can you move".

"posh doritos" lol

TSSDNCOP · 13/10/2019 15:38

I actually made all the guacamole, salsa and chili to go on top from scratch.

Check you out. It’s still chips and dips.

Orangecake123 · 13/10/2019 15:39

Thanks for the laugh OP.

MitziK · 13/10/2019 15:39

Nah, soup day is usually Monday, to use up the stock made from Sunday's carcass.

Tuesdays is things like jacket spuds, unless he's not rostered to work, when he'll do something like Toad in the Hole or sausages, onion gravy and colcannon, Wednesday is a yellow sticker special (so pot luck what is for tea), I cook Thursday as he works late, Friday is often Chinese takeaway or curry night if I cook, Saturday evening is 50:50 - meatballs and pasta this week, cooked by him, I made homemade blue cheese burgers last week - things that require slightly more effort than opening a packet.

But Sunday Dinner is always a proper Sunday dinner. You don't tell somebody who grew up on the middle of the moors that they get to have some crisps and a bit of mince for Sunday Dinner.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 13/10/2019 15:39

"sitting on the bloody table"

I have visions of the DH sitting cross legged on the table playing with his PlayStation while OP makes Angry Nachos with a side order of Martyr Guacamole.

You were fucking around in the kitchen because you decided to fuck around in the kitchen.

Amibeingnaive · 13/10/2019 15:41

What's happened here is that you've made a rod for your own back.

Next time, crisps in a bowl.

Oi vey! Sounds like you say everything but what you really want to say OP!
Yet have no issues saying it here. Do the same to your husband.

Move you lounging off, let me set the table.
Don't touch me ffs, I am mashing a fairly hard avocado and it makes me feel like a dirty 50s housewife!
