Aibu to send dh back to Thai takeaway…

Smelliestsocks · 23/07/2024 20:17

this is a bit pathetic but anyway I’m hungry.

I am ill on holiday with what I think is coronavirus. Stuck in bed for last few days and can’t do much but clearly starting to feel better as finally hungry and able to get mad!

Dh said he’s going out to get Thai takeaway with dc and do I want anything. I said yes I want red Thai curry. I only like stuff with sauce and have done since we’ve known each other
he just got back and brought dry noodles and trying to sell me that they have sauce in them but they don’t.

They’re so dry. I can’t taste anything so really wanted a chilli hot dish so maybe, just maybe I could taste it. I know it’s petty but he basically forgot to get my dish and offered up his shitty noodles (which he got alongside another dish) and now I’m feeling sorry for myself. Aibu to send him back as it’s 5 min walk but I feel really bad. But also feel really hungry haha.

Do you have deliveroo or similar?

Smelliestsocks · 23/07/2024 20:19

No, would 100% have ordered on that otherwise! Still discussing lack of sauce on noodles with dh 😂 he thinks I’ve gone mad.

Of course, YANBU!

Everyone was meant to have dinner. "D"H and the kids had theirs, apparently.

He was meant to get yours, but he didn't really get anything for you, despite asking you what you wanted, only gave you some noodles (not a full meal). Of course he should go back!

He should also be ashamed. Where is his care for you? Would you have treated him in this way?

CelesteCunningham · 23/07/2024 20:24

YANBU, that was inconsiderate of him.

LTB!!! 😂

ebadame · 23/07/2024 20:32

Is he usually this uncaring?

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/07/2024 20:32

He got two things for himself and none for you. What an arse. Send him back.

ebadame · 23/07/2024 20:33

If this were my husband he'd have the dry noodles and offer me his dish with a massive apology

Namechanged11111 · 23/07/2024 20:53

Without a doubt my dp wouldn’t have eaten his until I had mine.

He would have insisted on going back

Smelliestsocks · 23/07/2024 21:10

Ha thank you for the replies. I decided not to ltb as am too ill.. I’m now tucking into my food after he went back. Feeling less bad about it now though!!

Where the living fuck is the bastarding red curry??? Would be my response. I'd burst into tears and send him back.
He's a fucking arse for trying to pass off that shite as what you asked for!

GrumpyPanda · 23/07/2024 21:21

Feeling for you. Just had a Thai red curry with duck for lunch today and would have been raging about substitutes.

dbeuowlxb173939 · 23/07/2024 21:32

Send him back, it's only a 5 min walk!

Bastarding red curry! Scrolling through the comments and this one made me laugh 🤣

BobbyBiscuits · 23/07/2024 23:52

@Charlylau2412 I do sometimes say this, especially in relation to missing or incorrect food orders, (not to the restaurant staff obviously!) it's quite effective as it makes someone laugh while conveying extreme urgency/ disappointment! 😂

minipie · 24/07/2024 00:03

Eh? 5 min walk, you are ill and he forgot your dish? Of course he goes back!!

Glad to see he saw sense.

Was it delicious? Mmmmmmmm Thai food.

NippyCrab · 24/07/2024 22:02

If you feel up to it, ETB
But send him back first then have some sauce. Xx
Hope you feel soon.

Yes, but only after he’s brought your red curry! 😅
