DP didn't make me dinner...

[Whatinthedoopla]

I bought the ingredients to make a meat Bolognese for us all. I am a vegetarian, so we normally make the sauce, then add the meat after, and this way we all enjoy the meal.

My partner has decided to mix it all in, and now I have no dinner!!! Of course he knows I don't eat meat, and said he thought I had said I was going to make something different.... Like what!? Wtf

I'm hungry and maybe forced to eat meat!

What would you do?

This happens to me sometimes. Not usually with my DH but with my parents who are clueless about vegetarian cooking but will insist on doing dinner. Five minutes before serving I get a spoonful of veges along with the question whether I can make myself something else. I either just make myself a piece of toast or I make something and sit down as they finish eating. It's a bit ridiculous. Hopefully, yours is a genuine one-off mix-up!

Nobody is forcing you to eat meat either make something else or get a takeaway its really not that deep but I suppose if you did that you wouldn't be able to moan about it

Are you on a desert island?

YANBU for being annoyed he didn’t make you dinner if that’s the usual arrangement.

YABU to say you might be forced in to eating meat. That’s a total over exaggeration.

Very thoughtless thing for him to do. I would be annoyed too that he gave no consideration to what you were going to eat before making a meat dinner. Our DD is vegetarian and my DH would never add meat to our meal without checking whether some needed to be put aside for her first. All the comments about being a grown up And living on a desert island are completely irrelevant to the point of the post, which is the thoughtlessness of op's partner

Hopefully you've eaten by now. If not, I'm not an advocate for junk food normally but if you have a small Sainsbury's/Tesco close by I'd just pop in and get a pizza on this occasion, and not just the cheapest margherita, the nicest one.

Surely there's other food in the house?

Get yourself everyone's favourite takeaway (for one) and eat it in front of them all.

I'd be momentarily irritated, realise it's one of those things and make myself an alternative. Or order one. I'd then laugh at myself for being so irritated because I was hangry.

Oh gosh this reminds me introducing my veggie boyfriend to relatives. They were warned well in advance and their idea was to make a chicken stew type dish and just remove the chicken from his serving! I was mortified and my BF just sort of toyed with the food and then had two helpings of dessert.
Anyway I'd be annoyed but could easily whip up something else to go on the pasta.

I hope you used the joint account to order a takeaway.

I guess we'll never know.
