The stupid takeaway.

[Gworlie]

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.

That's so mean of him. It's literally no effort to order a few extra bits for your wife. Who facilitated you going off on a jolly.
No cooking for him for at least a few days “cook yourself something" indeed.

Are you all missing this ?

He didn't message back "Yeah get yourself and the kids in the car and drive out to the station in the pissing rain then wrestle for a parking space and collect me"

No - "I;ll get a cab"

My DS sometimes comes home with a KFC for himself after University because he's the only non vegetarian in the house and he either CBA cooking or doesn't want me to cook late night .
But he's single so meh .

I actually feel a bit ill reading that. Its very selfish and very rude and disrespectful. I cannot imagine doing that to someone myself so cannot imagine how you are feeling.

Id have walked straight past him with the car keys and left him to it. I hope you have 16 kid's that wake him all night for ever.

What’s his favourite take away? I’d be petty af and order it for collection tomorrow, come home, sit in front of him and savour every last bite.

When he asks what he’s having? Simply reply ‘oh you tell me, we cater for ourselves now’

If he has a pop at you, tell him sorry I’m absolutely exhausted from picking up your slack for a week! 😊

Go away for the weekend, let him sort the kids and cooking etc. Selfish prick!

This

Yep, a taste of his own medicine will hopefully show him how much of an unthinking arse he is!

This is such an odd thing to do. Asking if you fancied anything would have taken no effort, so why not do it? I don’t get it.

You guys are awesome!! And saved me an evening of thinking maybe it's perfectly reasonable to get yourself dinner without even asking your partner. It really didn't need to be a massive argument but him acting like I'm being completely irrational has pissed me right off.

@Namechangetobeanon I'm going to do just that tomorrow night. The catering for ourselves is perfect. Passive aggressive and petty but I need to prove my point without losing the plot completely.

I'd be raging too. Order yourself some Chinese, enjoy it! Then get yourself something tomorrow & let him sort himself out!

My 16 year old son arrived home with a take away the other week. Lo and behold he had bought something for me too. Without being asked. If he can do that, a husband can. My son can also do his own washing!

What a selfish Tosser! he would be wearing it!

Yep - he’s a true hero! Are you the OH?

Are you missing the fact she thought to offer to pick him up, he said ‘no’ (his choice) but he didn’t think about her when it came to the takeaway.

Does your DS usually do the cooking for the family?

Please let us know hoe he responds.

I am an ole trout with no life of my own and I live vicariously through these threads , , ,

@KeanuKenunu exactly this. My son was livid when his dad walked through the door with dinner just for himself. But still, he won't accept that maybe he's wrong.

@AlmostaMamma and I agree completely. It's so weird. And I mean even when he goes to the bakery on his lunch break he'll ask if I want something for when he gets home. It's really unlike him which is why if he'd says ahhh fuck I'm sorry, i didn't even think I'm shattered I'd have been fine(ish).

Dick move from him, just remember next time you fancy a takeaway, only order for yourself

Id be fucking livid op!!!

I once almost kicked my DH out for not getting scraps on my chips... honestly it turned into a raging argument and he slept on the sofa for 2 nights!!

He wouldn't ask for scraps because "I don't like to" I was like " but why? You're asking for chips so say 'can I have a bag if chips with scraps please?" He was like "I don't like asking"... me absolutely furious by this point "but why not?!" I know he likes mushy peas so i always get him fucking mushy peas!! Honestly I was livid!!

This would've finished me off OP!

What a shit.

Take advantage of the element of
surprise. Grab it, run.

🙄

You sound about as fun as a funeral

This reminds me of the time I was 8 months pregnant with twins and my husband went to the chip shop for my birthday and came back with cod and chips to share because the portions "were huge"

Fuming

Ltb

@Mammyloveswine it's the actual rage ain't it. Honestly I don't think I've ever been this angry at him. I love Chinese takeaway, he knows this, so what you went in there ordered what you wanted and didn't even think about me and then i have the audacity to be annoyed "cook something then". Honestly I was close to throwing anything within arms length at him. And then he's like "you had a bad day at work or something". Rage.

There's always one,Fliesssss

Never!

Stand beside me @Blort !

WE WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!!!!!
