To my DH, supermarket food

[UnsureSchool32]

So we’re having a small Coronation tea party. I’ve ordered food to our local supermarket. It’s literally a platter of sandwiches and a salad. DH is out at the minute and he said he’s going to get the beers so I said oh while you’re there can you pick up the food we’ve ordered and a large packet of plain crisps.

He’s called me saying he’ll go out later to get the food and will just pick up the beers.

I’ve said look it’s a 5 min job - I want the food in before 11 so we can enjoy the coronation. He’s just lost it saying he’ll go later (but will still get the beers). But I’m like you’re in the supermarket getting the beer go to customer service and get the food it’s like a sandwich platter and a salad!

the issue is I would go as we planned but it’s a restricted use car park so we can’t re-enter for an hour. The plan was he’d come home from being out and I’d go and get the food.

he can’t cope if his plans go slightly differently

This would do my head in. He's being ridiculous.

There's no logic to this

Have you pre-paid it?

Thank you!!!!!! He said he needs to be back for 1023 to watch KC go to the abbey I’m like ffs watch it Live on iPlayer. It’s such a small thing but he’s got so mad at having to do it.

What a complete idot.

Yes it’s all pre-paid. He even said he’ll go out later to get it, I’m like it’s a 5 min job

So he’s actually IN the shop but won’t get the sarnies?
I would be livid

It’s a bigger thing but often if things don’t go the way he has planned in his head he really struggles and even though let’s say my way of doing stuff is more logical he still can’t cope and gets really mad.

He’s messaged me to say he’s now waiting but literally has told me to record the coronation. I’ve told him it’s live on iPlayer he can rewind it 5 mins

Just to say we are a 2 min drive so he won’t miss a lot.

It defies all logic, I would be pissed off.

Food is more important than beer at 10.30 in the morning

Making two trips is pointless.

Thanks, I just feel like I’m talking to a brick wall sometimes with his stubbornness and the way he sees things so black and white: it has me on eggshells as I just don’t know how he will react to stuff.

How extremely selfish of him!

Thank you!! Very, his argument is the beer needs to chill.

What a complete idiot, this would drive me mad! I’d be so irritated by the ridiculousness of him.

If he had just done it and not wasted both your time arguing then he would be home by now

He’s said he would go out later and get it and I’m like why?! You’re in there just get it. I’m so glad I’m not being unreasonable cos I feel like I am walking on eggshells sometimes

He’s in there and queuing and texting me and complaining

I suspect you married my exH. Honestly there's a reason single women live longer.

He’s back and sooo grumpy. I’m hiding upstairs getting ready.

This is pretty much why I'm not married OP. I would literally kill them in cold blood for this shit.

Agree with this.

I’m so glad for the sisterhood support he’s just said it’s cos he would have missed the coronation and doesn’t feel it’s unreasonable

In the meantime ffs the world carries on …
