Dh made dinner. It was lovely, and I had seconds. I told him a number of times itnwas lively and I appreciate him making dinner.

The following conversation then occurred.
Dh: did you finish your seconds? Yes? Then can i tell you something?

Me: sure.

Dh: don't you ever, ever, tell me again you dont Like turkey. Cos that's what was in it!

Me: well yes I can. Cos that was a pie with other stuff. I still don't like turkey by itself as it is dry and flavourless.

Dh:well you DO like turkey, just not plain.

Me: OK fine, but not plain and don't talk to me like that, don't you ever etc. and treat me like a child

Dh: i wasn't, it was just a conversation, nothing to get annoyed about fgs.

And walked off.

Aibu?

When someone says "don't you ever tell me..." it's usually because they're fed up of someone complaining about something incessantly.

Maybe you've moaned too much about turkey? You've said you only have it at Christmas.

Maybe you haven't eaten it cooked properly?

As to your conversation, I agree that there was childish huffing and puffing.

Tbf I cook most nights and would be a bit pissed off it DH never thanked me for cooking. I'm not a servant!

There's a difference in saying ta and saying I appreciate it. My dh does all the cooking, he gets in before me, I say thanks but not that I appreciate him making it.

Why on earth do you have to tell him you appreciate him making dinner? He's feeding his wife.

Don’t you and your DH tell each other you appreciate each other’s food?? I would be upset if I cooked for my husband and he didn’t say ‘thank you’,or ‘this is nice’, or ‘I really appreciate you cooking tonight love’. I don’t think we’ve ever taken a plate of food from the other and not acknowledged the effort it took to make it.

@thickthighs73
Agreed. I’m all for people posting when they’re annoyed with a spouse but this does not meet the threshold of warranting a post, surely 😬

YANBU. He shouldn’t speak to you like that, it’s condescending at the very least.

What a strange little man.

[quote SudokuRules]@SeasonFinale Grin ds - the one who will eat turkey, glanced at the turkey on the table at Christmas, and I quote...
"Man didn't even season the fucking turkey" and refused to eat it. Down to 2/5...[/quote]
Sounds like you’re all bloody rude to each other to be honest

Darbs76 · 30/12/2021 21:02

I’d be angry too at the wording used and the tone, suggesting you’re a child.

Outlyingtrout · 30/12/2021 21:07

“Man didn't even season the fucking turkey" and refused to eat it.

Sounds like DH isn’t the only one with bad manners in the house Shock

Onlinedilema · 30/12/2021 21:09

It's nobody's business what I do and don't eat. This would annoy me. I also thank dh for cooking. He always cooks, I hate cooking in very grateful that he does that awful job and I don't have to.

GreatResetRequested · 30/12/2021 21:46

I think secretly feeding someone anything is creepy and his follow up ‘don’t you dare ever say’ shit is pretty pathetic.
