To think dh is hugely overreacting?

Dh has just collected a takeaway for us from a well known place. He got in, I started plating it up and half the order was missing. Too much to just make it work by sharing it out.

Extremely annoying, it cost us £40. Obvious thing is to ring them and get them to redo the order.

Dh starts shouting and swearing saying he knew this would happen, he's never going there again, they're fucking useless. Shouting at our 5 year old who was trying to show him something.

I did say (calmly and politely) he probably should have checked in the bag before leaving as one bag didn't seem enough knowing what we had ordered (it's usually a full bag just for two but this time dc are having takeout too), so he then starts shouting at me how that's not fucking possible when it's dark in the car, if I'm so good I can go myself next time. I did offer to go with him but he said to wait with the dc.

We've rang and they are going to redo the order, very annoying but it's only 5 minutes away. Not the end of the world.

He's gone out ranting and raving how he's never ever getting a fucking takeaway again, how he can't do this again it's too much for him and he can't cope with it.

Aibu to feel a bit shit now about the whole thing and think he's being ridiculous?

Yes, he's hugely over reacted and especially poor form considering your 5 yo was there to witness it. Bad behaviour. However, I must ask... why on earth did you rub it in by telling him he should have checked the bag? He already knows that, why throw it in his face when he's already so angry?!

Still, if he does this kind of thing often you're probably fed up of it and don't always feel like diffusing things. I can understand that.

Once the situation has calmed down I would have a talk with him about this. You can't live like this, especially not when there's young children involved. His behaviour isn't ok.
