Absolutely ridiculous argument about pizza

140 replies

DH makes dinner on Fridays (read: puts frozen pizzas in the oven). He forgot my pizza this evening, remembered his and the children's.

When dinner was ready and there was none for me, he offered to put my pizza in the oven so it would be ready 10 minutes later. I told him not to bother as I don't much like pizza anyway (which is true) and he knows I only eat it with them because everyone else likes it.

Now he's sulking because he thinks I'm being ridiculous and I'm hiding in the kitchen.

So am I being unreasonable?

And bonus points if you want to tell me exactly how ridiculous this argument is!

It baffles me that he could just forget yours! I’d be really annoyed and probably take it quite personally but then again I am regularly accused of being dramatic by DH!

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2022 19:22

He’s an arse.

Sexnotgender · 24/06/2022 19:24

What did he think you were eating?

Dutchesss · 24/06/2022 19:24

All I've taken from this is that you have a pizza each. Something I need to do going forward 🤣

LubaLuca · 24/06/2022 19:25

It is ridiculous for lots of reasons. You can't really think he deliberately didn't put the 4th pizza in the oven, he just forgot and offered to sort yours out when he realised.

Also, why, if you don't like pizza, are you having your own individual one when the obvious thing to do is have something different when they have pizza? Have a quiche or summat instead.

How can he literally forget one member of the family when all he has to do is get the pizzas out the fridge/freezer and unpackage them and put them in the oven?!

Why didn't he just leave his in for longer while yours cooked (yeah it might have been a bit crispy but that's his fault) and why did he offer to fix his mistake rather than just fixing it?!

There are plenty of ways he could have knocked you up a quick, nicer, meal so you weren't left out!

PuttaMyDream · 24/06/2022 19:26

Why are you hiding in the kitchen?

mangowithasqueezeoflime · 24/06/2022 19:27

Couldn't you have split his and then you two split yours once it came out of the oven? We often do that like two different ready meals and have a bit of each. Didn't need to be a fight.

Needmorelego · 24/06/2022 19:27

Ok he made a mistake. These things happen. My husband made me supernoodles yesterday and didn't put the flavour sachet in and I called him a dingbat.
Does he know you don't like pizza? If this is a 'just pop something frozen in the oven' meal why don't you have something frozen that you do like?

I wouldn't if I were you... It's definitely clear from our waistlines!

Why on earth is he sulking? You’re the one who didn’t get dinner because of his idiocy. Also how did he fuck up counting to 4? Verdict: Man child (hopefully he’s good in other respects but on the basis of this evidence)

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 24/06/2022 19:28

Sounds like our evening. I’ve made pizza dough but for some inexplicable bloody reason it hasn’t risen. Dh is now sulking that we can’t make pizza. I’m sure it will still make flatbreads or something.

Without sounding like a total martyr, it's hard enough organising meals that everyone will eat without thinking of myself, and I just can't be arsed to think of a second meal for Friday evenings.

Get a ready meal you like for Fridays. Doesn't need to be pizza. Something just as easy.

I'd rather come round to yours! I don't know how anyone can like frozen pizza, it tastes like a sandwich that's been left in the sun and all dried up

Oh come on, this didn't make sense. It's not easier to choose a pizza you don't like than a ready meal you do like.

Mumdiva99 · 24/06/2022 19:35

You were hungry when you heard the news. Your reaction was completely proportionate. However, now you have eaten (and opened the Friday night wine) I'm sure the 2 of you can make up and enjoy the rest of the evening. He's still an arse for forgetting.....but not worth spoiling the weekend for. Just remind him every Friday for the next 4 weeks....

But what pizza did he have and what did you have? The answer you should have split them both was good but too late.

Needmorelego · 24/06/2022 19:35

@Dinnerdoldrums you must be buying a rubbish brand. There are some lovely frozen pizzas out there.
If you like pizza of course...

I don't actually like any ready meals. I live abroad and we don't have any of the pretty nice ready meals you can get in the UK (M&S moussaka I'm looking at you!) and everything here is slop with added sugar

I like the salmon pizza which he hates. I know my tastes are a bit alternative!

Why didn't he offer you half of his?

elessar · 24/06/2022 19:38

Good grief.

So did you eat at all? Or no?

He was dumb for forgetting but it was clearly a mistake. You've been a complete martyr over a very minor delay to your dinner. It's not like you didn't have something to eat, and ten minutes is an extremely insignificant time to wait.

I can understand why he's put out, as it sounds like you've cut off your nose to spite your face.

Get out the wine and make up OP, it's not worth this level of angst!

Needmorelego · 24/06/2022 19:39

Salmon pizza...
Urgh. I'd forget to cook that too OP.
Sorry 😂

Nancydrawn · 24/06/2022 19:39

I'm afraid YABVU for eating salmon pizza.

Is there really nothing else frozen that you like?
