To be upset with DP because he didn't order me a pizza?

DP and I weren't planning to see each other this weekend as we just spent a week together and he left to go home earlier this week, so we were going to see each other next weekend.

However, DP arranged a night out with his friends to watch the boxing match (his friends live close to where I live so they often go out in a town that's a lot closer to my house than his own) and subsequently realised that the trains were striking. He said he could get out to the town he was meeting his mates in by bus, but asked me if he could crash at mine tonight after the night out, as my house is in walking distance from the town whereas to get back to his own house without a train would take ages.

I agreed to him staying here. We talked on the phone before he went out and he said he was planning on getting a takeaway pizza on way home. I said I really fancied a pizza and he said he would get me one too. I told him what I wanted and asked him to get potato wedges, garlic dip etc...I was really looking forward to it. I thought it would be really nice when he arrived for us to have pizza together and chill out. I didn't eat much all evening, in expectation of the pizza.

Anyway, at about 11:30 I felt quite tired so laid down, and actually ended up falling asleep. I was woken up at 3am when DP arrived back from night out. He came in and didn't have any pizza with him so I said 'where's the pizza?' He said 'oh, well I've ordered myself one, its on its way.' I said 'what about mine?' He said 'well I called you to see if you were awake and you didn't answer so I assumed you were asleep and didn't get you one.'

I'm actually really pissed off. It was a firm agreement that he was bringing back pizza for both of us, he knew I was excited about it, I had given him my order of what I wanted...even though I was asleep and didn't answer, AIBU to expect him get me a pizza anyway, thinking I probably would wake up, be hungry and want the pizza I was promised, like I have done!? Or am I being pathetic to be so pissed off with him?

He's now downstairs enjoying his pizza that arrived two mins ago while I lay on my bed hungry and annoyed!

It's all rather childish. Getting really excited to have a pizza, so excited that you don't eat for half a day then sulk at 3am because he didn't bring yours after you failed to answer your phone.

all so childish and dysfunctional and weird if true 👍

At 3am Idris Elba could turn up with a pizza for me and I wouldn't be interested. And I love food. And Idris.

My Dh once went out with his mates and my parents house was easier to get back to than ours and they were away so we agreed to go back there! He was supposed to be going out for lunch then playing pool and having a few drinks then coming home around 5pm so we could have a takeaway (there was no food in at my parents) anyways come 8pm no sign of him so I call him and he says he'll be half an hour then he'll come back and he'll take me out for a curry (taxis not driving obvs) I was really looking forward to it and starving by this point -3 hours later he turns up with a cold takeaway curry which was disgusting coz the only place still doing takeaway is not very nice but I was so hungry so I ate a bit of it -If he'd told me he was staying out later I'd have gone to the chippy or something which was no longer open by he time I figured he was going to be late!! I really felt like locking him out but didn't I was fuming!!

Surely she must be a toddler now that the thread is from four months ago.

I live in a small market town and can get pizza in the early hours.
