Me and my partner do the weekly food shop together on a Monday which is one of his days off. Several reasons for that and why it works for us.

We had some DIY things to do around the house today and before long it was almost time for the DC to come home.

When I went to collect DD from school I decided I'd take her with me and do it there and then, saving him the faff of coming along another day as I know he doesn't like food shopping really and sees it as a nuisance.

We're eating different meals at the moment as I'm doing keto and he's not dieting, so I got my bits and then 5 days worth of his favourite foods and some other things I know he likes, his favourite coffee and the 'naice' biscuits etc.

I get home and all he has done is sodding moan.

Moan about having to move things around in the fridge to make space, moan that the freezer will be full (isn't that the idea?!) Moan moan moan.

I wish I could tell you that this is unlike him but it isn't, lately I have come to notice that he's so profoundly negative much of the time he's turning into the stereotypical 'grumpy old man'

...but he's only 38.

I'm beginning to get tired of it.

Do you think I'm being unreasonable to feel miffed at his reaction? Is it me or him?

To add - we most definitely did need the shopping and none of it was unnecessary.

Just do online shopping. So easy.

How will a grocery delivery affect the things he is moaning about?

Sounds like OP needs to get out for a break from the moaning tbh

Tell him how is attitude is affecting you.and that you need him to think about how his moaning impacts everyone around him. You will not be able to keep tolerating this. It will be a drip, drip, drip, that will cause enormous resentment in the years to come.

Sounds about the same age my dh started turning into a “grumpy old man”. He resents a lot of stuff.
