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!

Salmon pizza. And there's someone on another thread talking about chicken tikka lasagna.

This is the final harbinger of the apocalypse. It's here. I'm off to claw a hole in the garden with my bare hands to cower in.

I'd forget salmon pizza too. Does it make the other pizzas a bit fishy?

Wait for me!

What is most worrying is he didn’t offer to split what there was and then you would all have a bit of the later one.

I feel like you are married to a freeloader? Rather than worrying about the pizza should you divvy up the household chores more evenly.

Allnostalgic · 24/06/2022 20:03

What are you going to eat op?

It's all a bit odd, him forgetting, you not letting him put yours in the oven after he forgot. Why can't he cook?

I'm a big pizza fan but frozen pizzas aren't very nice.

Claw your own damn hole Grin so to speak.

Are there no takeaways in this godforsaken place where you are living, OP?
The only reasonable argument about pizza is do you have ham and pineapple on it? (Each to their own, I say)
And I have eaten tuna and banana pizza in a restaurant once. I liked it!

Yes, mostly. Can you tell me how to be less pathetic?

Either Just get 3 pizzas and garlic bread and share it all its easier. Or you have something else if you don't like pizza.

dworky · 24/06/2022 20:28

Being as he totally forgot you also needed to eat, he should have offered you his & waited for the one in the oven.

Nein9 · 24/06/2022 20:29

I'm just sad to find out that salmon pizza exists.

dudsville · 24/06/2022 20:31

He was being defensive for having forgot your dinner, when he should have simply eulogies and made you something. I wonder if you were taking an opportunity to get a dig in. Couples do this sometimes, play who has the higher ground.

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/06/2022 20:31

You eat his. He has salmon or nothing. Natural consequences

Crunchymum · 24/06/2022 20:32

Maybe he "accidentally on purpose" forgot your pizza as every Friday you sit there with a po face about it?

Why or why would you eat something you don't like so often? The mind boggles.

Isn't that the whole point of marriage?

Thatswhyimacat · 24/06/2022 20:33

Hmm, sounds like he made a mistake and you threw your toys out of the pram.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/06/2022 20:35

He forgot that you're alive, or he forgot you need food to survive? Which one is he going with?

SalmonEile · 24/06/2022 20:38

Salmon pizza is fantastic - I’m offended at these responses

OP do you normally do all the cooking and it’s not really about waiting ten minutes for a frozen salmon sandwich pizza it’s about the lack of effort?

DoamnaSmecher · 24/06/2022 20:39

He should have offered you half of his while yours cooked, and then you both have half of yours.

I hear you re revolting ready meals abroad!

TheGoogleMum · 24/06/2022 20:39

Yabu to only like salmon pizza 🤮
Get something quick and easy you do like when they have pizza? There must be some thing! Tinned soup or cheese toastie or something?

Because I cook the rest of the week and just for once I'd rather not, so I eat something I don't particularly like rather than have to spend my evening in the kitchen yet again?

A cheese toastie is just a pizza with a lid

Surely the answer is that all of the family share the pizzas that are actually cooked and ready between them.

Whole lot of drama over nothing.

Agree with this, you sound like a martyr, it’s incomprehensible that you’d rather eat something you don’t like regularly than take 30 seconds to think of something else you could eat while everyone else has pizza.
