Soo I’ve worked a full week and done the weeks food shop. Was looking forward to flopping with a glass of white only to find yet again it’s been hoiked out and shoved in a cupboard. I only drink on a Fri night and dh doesn’t drink white. Says he hates it cluttering up the fridge.Hmm We have two small frudges,yes they get rammed but frankly at 50 years of age I think I can keep a single bottle of wine in my own fridge.Angry

Who does he think he is deciding what goes in the fridge?

viques · 10/01/2020 20:31

What does he drink? If it is beer then a quick shake of the bottle/ can as you hand it to him while smiling sweetly should teach him other people's drinks are not for messing with.

if he drinks spirits I would probably just spit in it...... Grin

Look everyone might think this is a joke.
But it’s not.
It’s your treat on a Friday night. He knows that,
And apparently you have a sense of humour fail? Did he take it out as a joke??

It’s irrelevant that it’s wine.

HollowTalk · 10/01/2020 20:31

Would his body fit into the fridge?

mumwon · 10/01/2020 20:31

& put his read in freezer (isn't red suppose to room temp? Grin}

TimeForPlentyIn2020 · 10/01/2020 20:32

God, what a twat he is!!!

spongejack · 10/01/2020 20:32

Start putting his red wine in the fridge.....

Thewomeninthemirror · 10/01/2020 20:32

Give him a cold dinner or a mug of cold one morning. Heat his red wine to boiling point.
I’d have some fun with this to make my point.

endofthelinefinally · 10/01/2020 20:34

Possible alternative strategies (although I agree he is being very selfish): buy a bottle sleeve that you keep in the freezer. They fold flat so take up very little space. They contain gel that freezes almost solid. You slide it over the bottle and it chills in about 5 minutes.
I also keep a bag of frozen grapes and frozen lemon wedges so I can cool wine/ tonic by the glass.
Or, you could just tell him you will be forced to purchase a lockable wine chiller to place on top of the fridge.

aroundtheworldyet · 10/01/2020 20:36

Why should op make alternative arrangements
It’s her fucking fridge

Wanderingraspberry · 10/01/2020 20:36

Put his red wine in the freezer.

BumbleBeee69 · 10/01/2020 20:37

He's a controlling bullying PRICK...

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 10/01/2020 20:39

he tends to drink red.

Others have beat me to it, but I would go one further and starting keeping his wine in the hit press. 😁

SanAntonio · 10/01/2020 20:42

No beer, he tends to drink red.

Stick it in the freezer, nothing like a nice cold red.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 10/01/2020 20:43

*hot press, though I think a ‘hit’ press might come in handy, if any fucker removed my wine from the fridge.

Doobigetta · 10/01/2020 20:43

Definitely put his red in the freezer, you don’t want it cluttering up the wine rack.

I’m not sure what is more twatty- taking your wine out of the fridge, or taking the time to whine that AIBU is full of trivial first world problems on a Friday night.

Fr0g · 10/01/2020 20:45

Two fridges? One each?
Does sound unreasonable - keep one of those wine chiller sleeves in the freezer for emergencies - but say that you do want the wine left in the fridge so that you van have a glass when you want it.

I did have a conversation with someone over the break about an article she'd read about most people keeping wine (or champagne maybe) in the fridge too long so that it is overchilled.

Fr0g · 10/01/2020 20:45

I meant unreasonable of your partner!

aroundtheworldyet · 10/01/2020 20:46

Just remove the red. So when he goes to get a glass it’s not there
See if he has a SOH failure too

SophieSong · 10/01/2020 20:56

That's so weird. Does he have a problem with you having a glass of wine or something?

billy1966 · 10/01/2020 20:59

Utter and complete twat.

Don't get mad, get even. Quietly.

Mess with him. Quietly.

Hide his phone.

Hide his keys.

Hide his charger.

Feign sympathetic face.

Absolute twat messing with your wine.
By very, very quietly fxxxing with HIS peace, you will restore your sense of humour and give yourself immeasurable pleasure.

Only an idiot of a man would do this and not imagine there could be consequences...

Good luck OP..

YANBU.

AmICrazyorWhat2 · 10/01/2020 21:02

Evil man!

Stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes and it'll be fine.I'm also a white wine drinker and I'm looking forward to my beverage of choice this evening (still afternoon here). Grin

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 10/01/2020 21:03

Divorce! Grin

And quick solution: stick your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes = cold drink
