My boyfriend got home early from work today. Spent the day on the sofa playing on his iPad whilst I was WFH in the same room. He did not, even once offer me a cuppa. Am I being unreasonable to be cross.

YABU get your own cuppa.

YANBU to be cross and I should stop making him a cuppa every single morning before work.

@Coffeeeeandcake

All comments duly noted.

Sorry about using ‘cuppa’ for all those who have been traumatised by it Blush

Finally, he isn’t at all selfish or terrible in bed. He’s quite amazing Grin

The eternal women's dilemma: a man who is great at sex or a man who provides a steady stream of excellent tea. Truly an impossible choice.

If you weren't working from home would you expect him to come into your workplace to make you tea?

Let him have bit of a break after work. Then politely suggest the two of you could do with a cuppa, could he make it. Honestly men can be so stupid sometimes.

Is this whole thread a joke? Confused

Can you combine the sex with the tea requests so his strengths can scaffold his weaknesses?

Yes, but based in truth.

I truly don’t get this thing of other people making your hot drinks.

The chances of me hanging for a brew at the exact same time as my DH making one are small.

In fact I get fed up when he always asks if I want one. No, because I’d have made one if I did. The exception being that I always drink coffee first thing in the morning so it’s a given I’d want one then. And he still fucking asks every morning. Weirdly if I’m up first I’ll just make him a tea which he always drinks. I swear I will divorce him if I have to spend another 5 years going “ yes please darling, I’d love a coffee” like bloody Groundhog Day.

Did you ask him to make you one? My OH wouldn't think to just do something like this without me hinting!

'Whats a girl got to do to get a cup of tea around here?' is my go to! But otherwise YABU...make your own if it means that much to you Smile.
