To think he had no right to tell me not to buy milk?

[notmilkingit]

Walked home from dropping dc to school with dh today. I nipped in to a corner shop with the intention of buying some milk as it was a cold rainy day where I am and I was planning to make dc and friends they had coming for a play date hot chocolates after school (5 children in total if that is relevant).

I took it to the counter to pay and dh started barking at me in front of the shop assistant that we had a litre and a half at home already and I was being wasteful. He told me to put it back, I didn’t. He then reached for it and I told him I was buying it because it was my choice to buy it.

Bearing in mind the 5 cups of hot chocolate, teas and coffees and 2 bowls of cereal the next morning for dc1 and dh, there would be very little left from a litre and a half and I have no plans to go to the shops tomorrow!

No offence, but if my partner spoke to me like that, let alone in front of someone else, he would be wearing said milk.

Yes.

The milkman would put a cage thing on top of ours to protect the tops from the birds.

If he is like this all of the time you need to really look hard at the type of relationship you are in!
I mean are you struggling so badly financially that buying that milk was not in the budget or is he an embarrassing, confrontational, aggressive, gaslighting ass all the time?

On a side note, you said the new milk had gone off although well within date. I have found that to happen quite often with milk from certain local shops. My suspicion is they're a bit casual regarding storage even if it's in the chilled cabinet when you actually buy it.
