DH being an ungrateful **** or is it me?

DH moaned he didn’t get a breakfast in bed today. Fair enough I could have thought of that but it’s been a stressful few days for other reasons. This seemed to set the tone for the day. He moaned the table at the pub we booked was outside and too hot. DS shouldn’t have got him a big bar of chocolate as it will just melt this week and he doesn’t want to eat it in one go today (he doesn’t keep chocolate in the fridge).

He has had a couple of drinks tonight which he doesn’t usually do on a Sunday night and I’ve come upstairs after he’s insinuated he ‘deserves’ a particular sex act to salvage the day (something I am not against doing but only with some notice for his birthday etc).

I feel like he has been totally ungrateful - nice cards, chocolates, a meal out, dinner cooked at home etc.

Again sans the sex act the energy on this thread is very different to that on mother's day.

Sans the sex act

The whole point of the OP was that she was being manipulated into performing a sex act which she needed notice for. Given she didn't specify, it's then likely that mners will speculate what this is.

Also don't think I've come across a thread where a woman is demanding a particular sex act on Mother's Day. Happy to be corrected though if there is one!

Any man that says you owe him sex only deserves one thing, and that's a divorce. You never owe anybody sex. Not on their birthday, not on Christmas, not on father's day. Utterly disgusting. Your majesty didn't get breakfast in bed so now you have to do anal? I really hope you didn't. Don't let your kids witness this to be the standard of a marriage, or any relationship.

Did you get breakfast in bed, the pride of place for a meal out, the perfect gift and whatever sex you wanted on mother's day? I hope you moaned about all of it and spat it in his face if so.

A sex act you need notice for? that’s rather transactional. Although he does sound a moaner.

Not at all, some need serious prep for women 😆, you a bloke??

Lmao I was referring to his treatment of her in general, I should certainly hope they didn't witness anything else!

A sex act that needs notice… bloody hell, talk about derailing a thread!

He sounds like a knob, I think his behaviour would cause my fanny to turn into stone and drop off. So yeah, I’d need a good weeks notice to cement it back on.

Aaaaahhhhaahaa why is there no laugh reaction / option ffs

BlueFahrenheit · 22/06/2026 20:02

OP went to bed with a book, and he apologised.

Still, an unpleasant man.

If my DH spoke to me in this manner, I'd tell him to sleep elsewhere.

Maybe a punishment pegging would have put him straight.

pinkyredrose · 22/06/2026 20:07

What a miserable ungrateful twat. Hope you didn't give him a birthday blowjob.

DollopOfFun · 21/06/2026 22:21

Or anal, lots of people like to prep by eating light, taking immodium or douching

And they say romance is dead.

Sometimes I am so grateful I never married.

I’m most intrigued by what sex act he only gets on his birthday with notice?

7 - 10 business days?

Now you know what to do on Mother's Day OP....he's set a precedent isn't it.

This made me laugh so much!!

Mould the melty chocolate into a penis shape. Chill well. He doesn't want it, so it's only going to waste if you don't. Hand it to him tomorrow night and tell him you'll do whatever he likes: suck the fuck out of the chocolate or shove the whole thing up his arse.
Whiny fucking baby sulking for better treats.

Sometimes I think that maybe it would be nice to meet someone and be in a relationship again. Then the universe throws threads like this my way.

😂🤣

desperatemum1234 · 24/06/2026 06:54

Nothing would give me the ick faster than a man thinking he deserved a sex act from me (especially if that were anal) to ‘make up for’ no breakfast in bed and a too-big chocolate bar. The mind utterly boggles.

Reasons why men want anal:

  • it used to be seen as 'forbidden', and therefore more desirable
  • an arsehole is often tighter than a vagina, so gives more sensation
  • these days many men watch a lot of porn, and anal is done ALL the time, so men think they should be able to do it IRL too
  • it can be seen as a way of dominating their partner, as many women really don't want to do it
  • there's no risk of pregnancy

OP, I hope all of your orifices (orifii?) shut up shop tonight.
And I hope you put the chocolate in the fridge.

I watched a documentary a few years ago about porn stars. The participants had to have very regular sexual health check ups. The doctor also said that all the people having anal sex will end up with incontinence in the future. No way would I ever do it. That hole was only meant for things to come out of, not in.

SeahorsesRock · 25/06/2026 15:29

If something whatever it is is so abhorrent to you you will only do it once a year on special occasions I would suggest leaving it off the menu entirely you don't owe anyone anything. Also your husband's a massive cockwomble and I've gotten the ick just reading about him. Next year do sweet Fanny Adams for him, something to really moan about

Alconleigh · 25/06/2026 15:32

He really doesn’t like you. Never mind love you. What you do with that knowledge is up to you.
