DP has royally pissed me off

I wfh now full time since March, DP is a teacher so 3 days he’s wfh.

I said last night about a new bagel place that’s opened that gets raving reviews. I asked if he wanted a bagel tomorrow - he said yes.

I ordered and paid to come today as a bit of a surprise. I wasn’t sure when they’d come, just around lunch. Door goes and I collect, excitedly hand over his bagel - he instantly goes “why would you do this when you know I’ve just brushed my teeth?” I then was a bit like, erm what...
He then just pulls a disgusted face, is rude about the whole thing, says the bagel is horrible (it’s not as nice as the place we normally go but it’s still good) and goes downstairs to get himself a drink and doesn’t bring me one.

At no point was thank you mentioned. I bought it as a treat, something he never does for me, he will always ask first or say “I was going to do this for you” but never does. All talk.

I’m just really upset that he can be so unappreciative and I’m really disgusted in him. I actually think this small thing, out of everything, has completely changed my opinion on him as a person.

The reaction I expected was a million miles from what I got Sad

There’s just something so gross watching a grown man being so incompetent putting up a shelf but when the woman comes along to help he gets angry at her.

You're not wrong, Op - incompetence is one thing, but tantrums too? No, absolutely not. He sounds bleugh!

I don't think OP meant it was gross that he couldn't do it, I think she meant his attitude when she could do it instead was gross.

@pretentiousrubberduck yes thank you. @Cocomarine wants to find an issue for some reason.

Thanks for all of your comments! A lot to think about Flowers

It sounds like you should shove that bagel up his sorry butt

He sounds like a right knob.

Is he just a boyfriend? (‘Dp’) you mention being married, which will be more complex to unshackle yourself from, but obviously never ever accept a male telling you to ‘fuck off’, the bagel is irrelevant, this man is openly contemptuous and you’re ‘brushing it off’. Stop that.

Hope you’re ok OP. It would be good if you could come back to update us sometime.
