DP doesn’t like what he ordered, wants half of mine?

DietCokeChipsAndMayo · 28/12/2021 21:51

We ordered a takeaway tonight, DP always orders different things, I stick to what I know to avoid this exact scenario

His food has come - he doesn’t like it, he thinks I should half my meal and give it to him as we have sides and it will be enough

It will be enough - but why tf shouldn’t I get my whole meal just because he mis-ordered?!

I told him to order another main and warm up some sides when it gets here, now he’s cutting his nose off to spite his face and says he just won’t eat anything 🙄

Who is BU?

Ridiculous that you are married but won’t share a takeaway

And that you always have the same thing each time

You are bU

fuckoffImcounting · 29/12/2021 17:36

Would not share if he is being an entitled arse.

TruthHelps80 · 29/12/2021 17:42

If that’s the biggest problem you have in your life I’d count yourself very lucky. Ridiculous

TruthHelps80 · 29/12/2021 17:44

I can’t believe that someone would post that!!! If that’s the biggest problem in their life, my god, I’d kill for that to be something so worrisome to need to post about it.

Unreasonable is an understatement

TruthHelps80 · 29/12/2021 17:46

I’d say OP is 12 to feel the need to post about something so ridiculously childish.

Dontwanttolivewithmylover · 29/12/2021 17:46

It used to happen quite frequently with my ex if I was ordering fish n chips n mushy peas for collection. I'd ask, he'd say no thanks. I'd repeat to make sure and he'd confirm.
I'd drive to collect the order and the minute I walked through the door he'd suddenly come sniffing into the kitchen and start opening the package. No...I never did share, not even a chip. He never learned.

You may have stumbled on the wrong message board.

The My problems are so much more problemmy than your problems board is that way. ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️ 🚪

My husband, despite his faults, would always give me his meal if I didn’t like mine. Not that it happens regularly or I would expect it, but he would, and I love him for it.

Dontwanttolivewithmylover · 29/12/2021 17:49

I don't think it's unreasonable to have the same choice every time. I only ever have the same choice of cod n chips or the same pizza and toppings. I like what I like, end of.

YANBU.

My dh ordered a small chicken tikka kebab with chips, I ordered a large one on naan. When they came he grabbed mine, I took it back and handed him the small one he ordered. He looked devastated but he has not ordered the wrong thing since. He does the same with treats... I ask if he wants and he says no, then he expects to share mine.

OldWivesTale · 29/12/2021 17:54

I'd just share. It is your husband after all.

TruthHelps80 · 29/12/2021 17:54

Nah, nothing to do with that mate. The fact that someone feels the need to post this is unreal!! Nothing to do with “problemmy board” or whatever other utter childishness you’re referring to.
This is a complete joke. First world “problemmys”.

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 29/12/2021 17:57

I’d share, a full takeaway to yourself is far too much, more so if you adding sides to it.

BigYellowHat · 29/12/2021 17:58

Personally I think you’re being mean. When I tried something new in a restaurant one time and loathed it, DH swapped with me as he thought it was quite nice. Bear in mind what he’d ordered was his favourite. Not quite the same but you get the drift. Give and take here, it might be you in the future who wants to share or swap.

frazzledasarock · 29/12/2021 17:59

And yet truthhelps80 here you are posting post after frothy post🙄

wellstopdoingitthen · 29/12/2021 18:02

I'd share as I know he would do the same for me.
Have you tried what he has ordered? You may like it.

ElvinBoys · 29/12/2021 18:03

If I’m being perfectly honest you sound like a really odd couple. Who doesn’t share food if the other person doesn’t like there’s or in your case if your food doesn’t arrive. I’d share with anyone in my company never mind my partner, such strange, selfish behaviour.

From now on tell him to order something he knows he likes as well as something different to try, that way I’d be doesn’t like it then it’s not an issue.

minimecantrollerskate · 29/12/2021 18:03

YANBU. He should order something that he likes or otherwise it is just a waste of food and money.

YANBU to not want to give him your food. If he wants to try something new he should order it as an extra dish.

YANBU to order the same thing every time. A lot of people order their favourite food for that very reason, because it is their favourite, you are not weird for not wanting to try something else.

Shell4429 · 29/12/2021 18:04

No. I don’t share food with anyone. Unless they don’t have any food.

How's your partner today ? Has he learned to go with the preferred or is it still going to be random choice ?
Whycantibeapuppy · 29/12/2021 18:06

I’d share. Wouldn’t even give it a second thought. He’d do the same if it was the other way around

SamSoSer · 29/12/2021 18:10

Are you both adults?
Your both acting like spoilt kids tbh

Covidfallout2 · 29/12/2021 18:13

I love sharing food. I would never order a take away with my partner and no expect to share. You get a taste of everything. Do the same with friends. It’s also the best way to try new things.

TheWeeDonkey · 29/12/2021 18:15

I voted YANBU because JOEY DOESN'T SHARE!!!!!!
However, if we order Chinese or Indian takeaway we normally order one portion and sides and share because their portins are massive.

CovidForChristmas · 29/12/2021 18:16

If it wasn’t for the McDonalds update I’d have said share
Same.
After that, fuck him.
