Name changed as I don’t want this to link to my other posts

For context - currently at a festival, came on my period the night before I drove.

DP and his brother arrived a day before me and set up tent. I came a day later, organised DD (not his child) for the weekend with her dad and the usual mum stuff that happens on weeknights

miscommunication Meant that DP said he bought his own toiletries but I need to get my own. I could have sworn he said he bought US our miniatures but at no point did he remind me that I need to grab my own. Yes I know I’m the idiot for mishearing and assuming. After a shit nights sleep (leaks, period pain) I woke and just got miffed and said with all the million things he was reminding me I would have appreciated a text of shit I needed to bring. And then I said why would he get his own and not just grab mine while he was there, it feels a bit selfish. Yes I know. I shouldn’t have said that.

i fucked off to the showers and I got a call from him before I went in, he was seething and said “before you fucking call me selfish again just remember I bought your fucking ticket to Download and the tent your sleeping in”.

i just hung up. It’s true. He did. And I appreciate it. I hate that I have to spend this weekend with his brother also but I’ve grit my teeth. What shook me is he threw it in my face. In 6 years we have both spent a lot of money. On each other. On our futures. But I’ve never, EVER, thrown anything like that in his face nor would I. I will never remind someone what I’ve done as some sort of defence to anything.

I'm ready. Tell me I deserve what he said. Because I’m so mad and so upset.k

He's not throwing it in your face. You have been really rude, he's simply angry that you are calling him selfish when it's actually you that is in the wrong.
You're an adult, he should not need to remind you what to bring! Did you remind him ?

Never would I expect my husband to bring my toiletries.... only cos he's a dick and wouldn't know what to bring 😆

My husband wouldn't actually Lord all over me he'd bought Download tickets AND the tent.... oooooh look at ME, I bought the tent I would be sleeping in too... ffs.

Men don't understand the "mental load". Neither, it seems, do this group of gefilterfish commenting. You're getting too harsh critique here. Also. I'm very jealous you're at Download!

So! Hug it out and enjoy it xx

Why is it his fault you didn't remember your toiletries?

Well this. Obviously.

I never want to hear the word toiletries again…,
