To go for dinner somewhere DH doesn’t love

[restaurantqs]

There’s things he will eat but he doesn’t think the food is amazing, so he’s always a bit ambivalent about it

I have a pregnancy craving for one item on the menu which you can’t get anywhere else. They don’t do takeout. He suggested we can go there if I want but is it a bit mean to go with him when it’s not his preferred choice? I could always wait and go with a friend or family

YABU - go with someone else later in the week
YANBU - you’re pregnant, DH can deal with it!

You’d go on your own?

He's doing a nice thing, like I'm sure you would, if the roles were reversed.

No she wouldn’t. She said “I’m posting because if the tables were turned, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere I was meh about and spend money on it. I’d probably be really vocal about it too”

Why is that a surprise? People (even women) go out for food alone loads. She could go when he’s doing something else, perhaps.

@Goldenbear you’ve asked that as though it’s a completely alien thing to do!

Just go he can find something Just tell him the baby wants it 😂

What do you crave ?

Would you not ? Why not that's a bit off isn't it if your husband fancied <whatever> you wouldn't go because it's meh !

Your husband is surely not the only person you can go for dinner with. Go with someone who'll enjoy it.

Go and enjoy what you are craving. Pregnancy cravings are often to do with needing specific minerals for growing the baby, so you are doing him a double service by growing his baby and ensuring it gets the right micronutrients.

I bet you'd shut up and cope with it if he was growing your baby.

This 100%

We went! :)

I need to know where it was! And what you ate!

You’re pregnant. He can get in the bin if he’s going to put his wishy washy feeling about a restaurant before your craving. In. The. Bin.

Dishwasher tablets?? I thought they were toxic? - please tell me you just liked the smell and didn't actually ingest
But I agree with you about ice, an odd pregnancy craving but so satisfying to crunch. Also I would get through a packet of watercress every day. I quite like watercress these days but then DH had to go out and buy me a packet every single day. But not more or I'd just eat it all up in one go. I may have had low iron or folate levels...

He said he was happy to go. The OP was the one who said she’d be annoyed about going if the tables were turned. No need to put him in the bin, he had no issues with going.

Oh come on. You have to tell what it is! 😁

This isn’t the update we are waiting for! What were you craving 🤣

He didn’t do any such thing. He always said to go. She just felt bad because she knew he wasn’t keen. They went.
