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).

Seems a lot of people don’t see how rude her DP was?

Not helping, not moving, not washing up ..... doubt she even go a thank you

If someone does something for you, then it’s common sense you do something in return. Cook the next meal or wash up, whatever but show some appreciation.

And don’t grope the cook ever in this house

I think you need a classic mumsnet spa day.

Did somebody say Just Eat?

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 16:48

@Toddlersaresuchadelight With all due respect someone who has a "hubby" who can "just about manage" to heat up a premade pizza (but they have to be really REALLY ill for that to happen) is not where I would be seeking advice although I appreciate your time.

I get it though I was being a mardy cow. Still think hes lazy though. I'll tell him about not touching me when I'm cooking. Also when I'm brushing my teeth. Not in a mean way but just....you know, I'm kind of busy here. Normally we get along really well. That's literally my sole complaint or should I say request: I'd like you to sometimes make us something that isnt, you know, COCO POPS. Hes pretty easygoing so I'm sure he'll be willing to listen and have a go.

I'm doing the washing up now because les face it that would be petty. Plus it's raining and he works outside, feel quite bad. Actually I'm starting to feel really bad about the whole thing. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings

When all this chopping and thigh rubbing from behind took place was he wearing a droopy moustache and his Che Quevara underpants? Perhaps he was hoping for some saucy guacamole action and all he got was Queen of the eye roll. Awwww...

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 16:52

@GreenTulips Good point. He DIDNT say thank you. In that case actually fuck it I will leave the washing up for him to do. I'll have a bath instead.

Nachos are a snack, not a meal.
You got angry because he was playing on the PS while you rustled up a snack?, then when he touched you while you were trying to mash a ' hard ' avocado you wanted to mash his grid instead.
Then you name change to tell us all about your Sunday shenanigans due to his mum being there, cos his mum, who just might be a mumsnetter herself might recognise the poster is actually her son's missus, due to the situation of posh Doritos, hand made sauces, son sitting on the table playing a PS, who has now incidentally gone to work while his missus stands like an angry bird waving a potato masher around.
My word, Sunday's must be a riot in your house.

PositiveVibez · 13/10/2019 16:57

stop touching me when I'm trying to mash a fairly hard avocado

It's a common problem. In fact I think this was actually one of the answers on Catchphrase the other day.

For you OP, you're welcome Wink

AIBU to have been sarky to DP about doritos
Croquembou · 13/10/2019 17:05

To be fair, to the OP she's taking the drubbing she's getting here with pretty good grace and, on that basis alone, maybe her partner was being a bit of an annoying twat.

This thread is also excellent. You're all very funny.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 13/10/2019 17:10

Someone on MN asked why non parents were on MN. This, this is why.

Oakmaiden · 13/10/2019 17:23

I fancy nachos now.

wondering whether to send son to corner shop to buy tubs of guacamole and salsa. And Doritos, obvs.

ZorbaTheHoarder · 13/10/2019 17:26

OP, you need to chill(i) a bit and let these guys help you relax - everything will seem a lot better!

But seriously, have you talked to your DH about him doing more cooking? If he's a decent guy, surely he will, especially if you make it clear how much his laziness is upsetting you.

Good luck!

sparklefarts · 13/10/2019 17:34

Well.

Well,

Nope, no words.

Well fancy Nachos now. My phone actually autocorrected Nachos to nan. I don't fancy nan. I do fancy Nachos.

Nachos are piss easy OP

sparklefarts · 13/10/2019 17:35

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

Oh good grief. You didn't?

Go for a spa day

LightsInOtherPeoplesHouses · 13/10/2019 17:35

I really want nachos now, but there's nowhere open nearby to buy them on a Sunday. Damn.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 13/10/2019 17:45

@LlamaPjama oh wow! how had a not noticed the coffee table was free?!

butterybiscuitbasic · 13/10/2019 17:54

On the plus side - any leftover avocado will make a great face mask for your well deserved bath

MarianaMoatedGrange · 13/10/2019 17:55

I never get free coffee tables. Must live in the wrong area.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/10/2019 17:59

What's that yellow Mexican stuff that looks like a sponge? I like that.

@MarianaMoatedGrange heeheee Grin

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 13/10/2019 18:05

This has made my day. I've never witnessed an OP be such a brat Confused

Not something I'm regularly able to say on MN, but poor DH! OP you need to simmer the hell down.

Nachos isn't bloody cooking and YOU decided to make them because cereal wasn't a good enough meal for YOU.

You sound like an absolute pill Biscuit

gwackywacky · 13/10/2019 18:07

Well hes sent me an arsey message so I guess I'll be drinking huel all week and he can keep himself nourished on his precious cereal

Bellasblankexpression · 13/10/2019 18:11

YABU OP. You say YOU decided to make it, it’s not like he chained you to the kitchen and made you.
