DH is a spoilt brat

[arcticpandas]

He is going to be gifted a perfume today. He asked for 100 ml but Mil asked me to order 200 ml. I helped her out with her online orders. Partner said oh did I ask for a perfume? I told him yes. He said: but did I ask for 100 ml? I said yes but your mum might have gotten you more since she's generous, you will see.
He goes off yelling about not being able to take it on his travels (100 ml limit) and I should have known better and he has no use for 200 ml. I told him I don't travel often neither does Mil so how the fuck were we to think that he wanted his perfume for travel.

Mil has thrown ticket and box away so can't return. I am so furious with dh acting like a spoilt brat. Our kids would never act like this even if disappointed- they are teens and polite.

Later on he came and said sorry I shouldn't have reacted like that...and then he went on again talking about how he'll have no use for it and he will buy his 100 ml himself and how he will never ask for anything again ! Bonkers ! If it wasn't for my kids I would be leaving for a couple of days. Immature entitled twat!! I have been disappointed with gifts but never said something but believe me this year I will not save his feelings and will tell him to return anything I don't like. Would that be unreasonable?

LTB

This thread is pretty wild. Have only read your reactions OP but you started it to complain about his unreasonable behaviour and then became immediately offended when others said yes he is a bit of a dick. What did you want from this?

Tell him to decant the moody tit

Sorry, are you on of those incredibly precious people who think a man’s masculinity will crack if it’s called what it is (eaux de parfum) rather than something much more manly like “fragrance” ?

How terribly fragile men must be when the mere implication of assumption of feminine association causes them to turn into female impersonators. Obviously nothing could be more terrible for them than to share any likeness with women.

yawn.

200ml is for home.

Who is trying to impress when he's away cause this has triggered something.

Probably because decamping fragrance isn't a thing.

Families who would have what?

You're not married to my ex DH by any chance are you OP?
Any excuse for a row and he would pick one 🙄.
I'm sorry OP he sounds like a man child. 😔

Well, you picked him.

🤣🤣🤣

Here we go…

Op I think you have angered a lot of mumsnet by being understanding of a man being stressed and upset and reacting badly.

for many on here he should never feel stressed (how can he, he’s probably lazy), never feel upset (how dare he be weak), never snap at you (he must be abusive)

hope you’re both ok

fuck me

are you aware of the concept of stress building up and coming out over a small thing?

+1

It is annoying when you say specifically what you want you want and then someone gets something else. Decanting means the clutter of two bottles when you only want one.

Having said all that he shouldn't make an issue of it, just quietly deal with it.
