AIBU coffee run

[Starstella21]

Please settle a light hearted argument...

Our coffee machine is broken, my partner has got in the habit of making a 10 minute walk in the morning to the local french bakery to grab a coffee.
I've asked if he will get me one he says he doesn't want to carry two back...

AIBU to think this is selfish?!
I want a coffee!!

I saw another poster mention OP is pregnant, I assume gleamed from anothet thread.

Do we think OPs husband broke the machine on purpose and is trying to surreptitiously limit her caffeine intake?

What a prick

OP: AIBU to think my husband's selfish?
Virtually everyone: Yes, he's really selfish
OP: This is why I hate MN! I'm not coming back

This, why ask? 😂

I don't know whether it is comical or depressing, the head-tilting earnestness you see on this site. Some posters are clearly upset that you don't feel abused and belittled. Where's the drama?

Buy yourself a single serving cafetiere.

What a prince you have there! Seriously, what a selfish arsehole! Is he a twat in other ways?

LTB!!!!!

Why post? If he's such a prince among men let him have his coffee and ten minutes alone.

That is actually really sad and mean. It’s nit like he needs two hands free as he can get one of those double cup thingies. My oH would go to the moon and back for me...(and vice versa) if he did what you’re describing then I’d be very hurt, it’s unbelievable selfishness as he’s going to the coffee shop anyway.
This would be a red flag for me... it’s the thin end of the wedge. Coffee is just coffee, if he won’t do that for you then it shows a deep lack of care or respect.

@NormanStangerson

To be fair though, lighthearted or not, your husband does sound like a prick.

Unless we’re anticipating a drip feed whereby he only has one arm....

Ha ha ha ha ha!

This is the only scenario whereby the DH would not be unreasonable.

😂🙄

Wtf that’s so mean of him.

@YouJustDoYou

It would happen once for me, then I wouldn't be arsed to cook for him one evening "because it was too much work", then just may be he might see what do we coming from.

So he makes breakfast in bed then goes out for a walk, and because he doesn't being her stuff back she should never do anything for him again? Why can't op walk to the shop?

@Winterwoollies

OP: my husband buys himself a coffee but refuses to bring me one. Is that selfish?!

Us: yep, that’s selfish.

OP: but he brings me breakfast in bed every day! He’s the best! I hate Mumsnet (laughing face).

Us: ...

🤦‍♀️

Maybe don’t post slagging off your lovely husband then.

Bored woman moans at husband for not bringing her coffee.

Husband brings her breakfast in bed and is wonderful in all ways including taking care of the many kids.

Bored woman gets sympathy that he’s selfish then puts us all correct that he is in fact a prince among men.

Result - time wasted across the board as this was a non issue.

I personally think this say a lot OP.

That is very rude.

Take turns.

Won't the coffee get very cold by the time he has walked back with it anyway?

OP are you quite dim? You start a thread in AIBU complaining about your husband, asking if he's selfish. Everyone says "Yeah, he's selfish". You then defend him and somehow decide it's the posters who are wrong?!

Is anyone else trying to work out what responses the OP wanted?

Was it a trick question and Romeo is actually a goldfish?

I think that's nasty unless he said it as a joke and brought it back for you anyway! I'm actually a bit stunned by that!

Yes you sound entitled. 😀😀

Well then he needs to make 2 trips, I can't imagine going and not offering to get anything for anyone else in the house

WTF?

Does he have two hands?
