DH is making himself ill because he always has to be right

Whereisthechicken · 25/12/2019 12:27

After a bit of a hunt this morning, I've just located a whole raw chicken in our car after DH obviously forgot to bring it in with the rest of the food shopping on the morning of the 23rd December (I had gone out to a different shop for a few more little bits in my car so he was left to do the unpacking from his car).

I am clearly annoyed and insisting the slightly green chicken is bad now but he is adamant it's fine as leaving the chicken in a cold car for two days is as good as leaving it in the fridge apparently. No idea on the temp here but it's been raining/a bit sunny here in Wiltshire during these last two days.

I'm certain he's just saying this because he's a stubborn person who, if I said the grass was green he'd argue that it was pink. Doesn't do it to anyone else, just me. He always has to be right. I've said the chicken is bad and so he's insisting it's perfectly fine to eat and is now cooking it. I'm pissed off knowing there's a strong possibility he's going to ruin boxing day being sat on the toilet the whole time which is just great when we have two young children. Is he bu for eating it or aibu (it is safe and I should leave him to it)?

Bet he's been feeling at the very least a bit queasy, has had the runs and refuses to admit it. It is possible to chuck up quietly, too.

I'm sort of gutted he's got away with it!

It was my DH in the sausage thread mentioned earlier. They were days out of date, and the packet was swollen up so I binned them...he fished them out and cooked them. Everyone thought he’d be sick, but he never even had a twinge. I know he’d draw the line at your chicken though OP!

I understand your annoyance at his not getting even a teeny bit sick Grin

Microwave some green bits and make him a lovely sandwich for lunch Grin

A male friend of mine often eats stuff that's way out of date and is fine.
He got very ill once, tho, after eating some ancient fish he'd taken on a hiking trip.
It hasn't put him off. Xmas EnvyCrown Envy puke

Minky35 · 27/12/2019 14:45

I’d point out to him that he’s not eaten much of the chicken and ask is there a reason for that Grin

OlaEliza · 27/12/2019 17:58

I remember that sausage thread 😂

MadeForThis · 27/12/2019 21:21

Definitely make him a sandwich not offer to freeze the leftovers. 😂

BumpyNugget · 28/12/2019 19:43

Dammit!

Like the thread featuring sausage man, magicstar1's DH, no comeuppance.

I wouldn't like to wish serious illness on anyone but is hoping they get a slightly sore bottom too much to ask.

As I have always suspected, the world is not a just place.

windycuntryside · 28/12/2019 21:39

I bet he didn’t really eat any. His ego persuaded him to pretend he had.

Sizeofalentil · 31/12/2019 15:40

Did he eat any more chicken?

Drabarni · 31/12/2019 15:48

I couldn't stand a man like this, wanker.

Next time he's doing the I'm right stuff, keep saying the same thing until he stops it.

"When I asked for mr Right, I didn't know his name would be Always" in a really pissed off voice.
