To have shouted at him?

[SlothingSunday]

DP. We don’t live together. He wants us to live together but it’s instances like this that put me off. Whenever he comes around to my house he asks me if I want him to put the eggs in the fridge as I’ve “left them out”. I’ve told him time and time again that I don’t put eggs in the fridge but because he thinks he’s right he won’t let it fucking drop. Literally everytime he comes over he will pretend to be confused about the eggs not being in the fridge. This morning he came around and I realised he’d put the eggs in the fridge. I lost it completely and shouted at him to leave my fucking eggs alone and that I’ve told him so many times that I don’t want them in the fridge and suggested he stop trying to control me. He acted all outraged at my “over reaction” but this is the tip of an iceberg. He does it with everything.

Bit of an over reaction.

Ok it's just eggs... but it's not is it?

He seems to be completely ignoring your opinions and wishes.

Eggs in the fridge - he puts them in the fridge regardless of what you've asked him

Light on or off, it's off because that's what he wants, ignored you again

Can you imagine what it would be like when you buy a house, he wants a 4bed detached in the country, you'd like a Victorian terrace in a town. He puts an offer in for a 4 bed in the country without asking you.

This would drive me mad

End it, you don't even like him.

He has no eyebrows, wobbles around and puts his eggs in the fridge, presumably in the egg tray.
Why can't I get the image of a weeble out of my head?

You are absolutely nbu

This is a sign of how it would be.

I’d consider breaking up with him - genuinely - as it’s massively disrespectful.

Id say a list on the fridge door as to what items go in the fridge may help, otherwise if you did move in together, this would be more common.

The Op posted about this for one hour yesterday. She was clearly venting. She clearly wasn't being coerced, gas lit or controlled. She no doubt laughed to see her boyfriend so disparaged by strangers on here. She has not been back since. It then turned it to 'cancel the cheque' with poster after poster after poster after poster telling her 'it's not about the eggs' and the usual MN cliches. It's done. Done.
Why does no one look to see what is happening with a thread before launching in to it?

How about you write his name on half the eggs and put them in the fridge, write your name on the remainder and leave them out? Job done

Because not everyone has the time to read through x amount of replays

It's because he's doing it on purpose to undermine you. Whereas anyone reasonable would just say 'oh, OK' and then leave them wherever you normally leave them as it's your house. Instead he is pretending to forget, etc to get his own way. That's the messed up bit. He can't even be upfront about it.

That is effectively my point. People are often more interested in their being heard than adding anything useful or even checking if there is any point. It is often now little to do with the original post. Just look at the recent raft of trully zombified posts being revived.

Is this a euphemism?
