AIBU or is DH an absolute twat

[MadameBee]

I arranged to Skype with a group of friends this afternoon, online for scoot and hour, DH joined in at points.

I asked if he wanted to Skype his dad (hasn’t some so since lockdown) he called his dad and they were eating tea so they agreed to Skype later. DH then says he’s starving so I cook some tea, halfway through me cooking it he says I was supposed to call my dad 14 minutes ago, ok I will try to keep this warm.

20 mins later dinner is really beginning to dry out, so I tell DH and say why don’t you call your dad back after we have eaten. DH gets all huffy and says “why did you say it was ok to call him” I say I am not a fucking magician I cannot keep the food warm forever, it’s chicken and it’s drying out.

He then says he won’t be available when we Skype my family later (at a pre arranged time) and goes and sits in our bedroom and eats his dinner.

What a kurfuffle over a kiev!

I'd have stuck it in the oven and not thought any more about it.

Definiteky ridiculous bickering , you got too involved in the minutiae to be honest , let him do what he wants when he wants ffs!

Just eat dinner without him, he can have his after

I’m just confused why it’s gross and rude to eat in. Skype call with family. Do you never eat in their presence?

YANBU but in that situation I’d just leave his dinner wrapped up in foil and let him sort it out when he wanted. You’re being a bit melodramatic. Why do you care if his dinner is dry? You tell him once, he’s an adult, then you let him feel the consequences of his own decisions.

I just want to say if you can only eat your chicken the second you make it as otherwise it will 'dry' out. Then you're making the chicken properly.

All that aside, I think lockdown is getting to you both.

I mean then you're *not making the chicken the properly!

Just a bit of lockdown tension - dont over think it all. Winding each other up is easy at the moment - at least it is in my house.

He is a twat.

Sounds like you have a mother/child relationship rather than a husband/wife one. Try not to pander and baby him, maybe he'll stop sulking and hiding?

I would've just put it on a plate so he could microwave it later i don't really understand the big palava on either side

You know those mini Kiev balls? Best thing ever, cooked then cold on a buffet.
Too much drama about putting a meal aside.
