The stupid takeaway.

My OH has been away for a week and came back today. He turned up this evening with a Chinese takeaway for himself. Didn't even say he was getting one or asked if I wanted one. I've worked all week and done all childcare, which is fine, but when I said "well that's a bit shitty, I'm knackered and hungry too" his response was "well cook something then". I'm raging but he's acting like I'm being crazy.

Put the suitcase on his side of the bed

Yes I'm petty, no I don't care

Set the table and cook a delicious roast on Sunday and just when he is ready to sit down and eat, pack up the food and take the whole lot over to a friend’s house and leave him with the washing up.

And don’t even consider doing his washing op!

This man has no regard for you whatsoever. If he'd been down a coal mine for the last week, then I would've forgiven him although hated him at the same time. But he's been on a bloody jolly and you've been doing all the work and he hasn't even brought you a takeaway when he bought himself one? He could fuck off as far as I was concerned.

DemelzaandRoss · 24/02/2023 20:53

Immediately order your own takeaway,
What a selfish person. If he’s always like this, time for a change.

Mindthegapagain778 · 24/02/2023 20:53

That’s a bit too much effort though! The hotel idea is better 😁🤣

Fancysauce · 24/02/2023 20:53

Don't you dare do his washing! The fucking prick!

If he asks, tell him to wash them himself just like youre supposed to cook for yourself.

CanofCant · 24/02/2023 20:53

Bloody hell. Do not touch his washing.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 24/02/2023 20:53

Pretty selfish, he can cook and do his washing for the next week I would say!

Heronwatcher · 24/02/2023 20:54

What a rude twat.

Mindthegapagain778 · 24/02/2023 20:54

(Sorry was replying to myself and op there.)

ForgottenNurseryRhymes · 24/02/2023 20:54

FMlL I'm so angry on your behalf. And I'm am having The Shittest Of Weeks xx

Heronwatcher · 24/02/2023 20:54

Why don’t you do it tomorrow and see his reaction? I certainly wouldn’t be cooking for him at all for the weekend.

Bunnyishotandcross · 24/02/2023 20:55

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIS CASE..
if he asks you to do it remind him you are busy catering for yourself.
Seems like he was spoiling for a fall out op.

ForgottenNurseryRhymes · 24/02/2023 20:55

Mate, seriously LTb. What an arse.

DramaLlama20 · 24/02/2023 20:55

You actually sound a bit doormatty. I genuinely would get my husband to leave tonight based on this interaction, but he'd never do this, he'd message me 'Chinese tonight? What do you fancy' and I'd reply. Did you not speak on his journey home? I find it all so weird. Tell him to fuck off. Put his suitcase outside.

MadeForThis · 24/02/2023 20:57

That's beyond selfish

Gworlie · 24/02/2023 20:57

You guys have made me feel so much better. Honestly the selfish behaviour is one thing, it's more the dickish response to me pointing it out, and then the whole "I've done nothing wrong, I've been travelling all day and I'm hungry". No dinners or washing. I'm not great at a poker face though, I'm absolutely livid.

May his bean sprouts come out of his arse tomorrow and look like tapeworms. Wanker.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Bunny. DO NOT touch his washing OP, and tomorrow night cook whatever you like best for yourself and nothing for him.

Gworlie · 24/02/2023 20:59

@DramaLlama20 oh god doormat?? Yeah he messaged saying he was on his way home, I asked if he wanted me to get him from the train station and he replied saying he'd get a cab. That was it.

Thank fuck. I'm not going mental then. I'm absolutely livid. He was like "I've been on a train for 6 hours I can't deal this". I truly hope it does @youshouldnthaveasked

So being on a train for 6 hours renders him exhausted, and incapable of rational thought? How does this man cope with life?

Fireflies23 · 24/02/2023 20:59

Jeez I’d be going out for dinner with friends and busy all weekend so he could do all childcare!

Gworlie · 24/02/2023 21:00

@ColdHandsHotHead spoiling for a fall out? As in trying to cause an argument?

OP posts:
Heronwatcher · 24/02/2023 21:01

Yeah, if he had said “oh my god, so sorry, I just wasn’t thinking, let’s order some more and share this” then fine. But being rude and saying he can’t deal with it, what a knob. He’s hardly been fighting in Ukraine either, visiting his own friends and family, yeah what a tough one 🙄

newjobnewstartihope · 24/02/2023 21:01

My husband is a nob at the best of times but wouldn't even consider this
