AIBU- partner cooking dinner for himself

So we’ve recently had a baby and in preparation I batch cooked a few dinners. My partner likes plain spag bowl whilst I prefer lots of veggies so I did separate ones and got both out to defrost this morning all we’d have to do is boil some pasta. I’m breastfeeding and was nap trapped with the baby so he put the pasta on to boil- when it was done he heated his bolognaise and sat down at the table to eat it, I asked where mine was and he’d only done his. What would your reaction to this be? I said it was weird and selfish he’d only done his when it would be so easy to do mine at the same time (plus I cook 80% of the dinners- sometimes completely different meals). He made a big song and dance about heating mine up and how his was going cold, I could just put the baby in the cot and go do mine etc. I feel like it’s a petty thing to be upset about, but I just don’t get his attitude.

this would drive me mad, it’s so selfish!!! Mind boggling really. My husband does stuff like this occasionally and I keep telling him off until the incidences are getting rarer and rarer 😂

You should know that DH cooked every single meal for me from birth & during my confinement period (first month) as I wasn’t eating and he thought fresh, hot food would help. While earning 100k a year and working full time and often travelling 200miles a day for work. DH isn’t perfect (far from it) but he isn’t an inconsiderate cunt like your DP is

I'd be so pissed off and turned off by that. My partner went out of his way to make my life as easy as possible while I was pregnant. If he'd done that, I would have assumed he was joking or something.

To Ellie- of course rabbitsrock might have gotten the 'spag bowl' dumped on his head if he had said it in person.
