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.

Oh OP, yanbu if you have the total ick.

gamerchick · 21/06/2026 22:30

I take it he wants a blow job and no returning any favour.

Tell him to piss off. Ungrateful git. Does he go all out for mother's day?

nam3c4ang3 · 21/06/2026 22:30

Why is your bar so low?

What did he do for Mother’s Day?

Similar to today, I did get breakfast though.

He wouldnt be getting it from me to "salvage the day". It would be a hard fuck off. I cant stand whingeing. Its fathers day, a manufactured clintons card day he isnt recieving an OBE.

I would assume anal….

Then OP should not do it. Anal sex is dangerous for women, damaging the anus and the bowel, capable of causing bowel incontinence. And no point for women, either (though I know some say they enjoy it I have always suspected the pleasure they state they have is approximately the same as pushing out a hard stool) it's boring as shit.

Kizmet1 · 21/06/2026 22:35

Ew. He sounds bloody horrible.
Did he do breakfast in bed for you on Mother's Day?
Did he book a lunch somewhere for you on Mother's Day?
Does he think you control the weather/ the pub seating?
Could he not flex on his fridge-chocolate thing given we're at the beginning of a heatwave?
Why the fuck does parenting his child (to whatever degree he does this) make him entitled to your body or deserving of sex?

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!

I'm not a LTB poster, but he needs to give his head a wobble!

MyLimeGuide · 21/06/2026 22:36

Oh good what a tosser, why do men think they can get away with such bad behavior and then still demand sex. (What is the act btw?)

Think we were interested in whether there are intimate acts your dh treats you to especially on Mother’s Day !

MyLimeGuide · 21/06/2026 22:37

Also, hes not your dad??

76evie · 21/06/2026 22:37

He sounds like a miserable moaner, I’d have told him he isn’t my father so be grateful for the efforts you’ve made on behalf of his children!

DryadsRest · 21/06/2026 22:38

Seems to be how his mind works!

Edenmum2 · 21/06/2026 22:40

I mean he sounds like a loser of a Dad and husband so definitely shouldn’t be rewarded in any way, sexual or otherwise.

alakas · 21/06/2026 22:40

Hello just wanted to say, if you don't like doing something then there shouldn't be pressure for you to engage in that activity (sex act) regardless of what day it is.

lydiastattooedladies · 21/06/2026 22:41

Anal for Fathers Day? Normally socks suffice.

arethereanyleftatall · 21/06/2026 22:41

Grim. He sounds utterly abhorrent. I’m sorry op, but being single is so much nicer than this. I hope that’s achievable for you.

What did he do for Mother’s Day?

A very particular sex act. Different to tye OP but he had notice so was able to prepare appropriately

Gardenisablooming · 21/06/2026 22:20

If it's anal. Agree. Shout SURPRISE and pull out a huge strap on...

He'll just whine it's not big enough or there's not enough lube or he hasn't prepped.

I wouldn't do anything after a day full of whining. Why won't he put chocolate in the fridge? This is climate change. Get used to it.

Grammarnut · 21/06/2026 22:45

DustOffAndMoveOn · 21/06/2026 22:27

Hilarious!

Why do they happily give it but won’t take it though? I’d love for my DH to experience why I don’t like it and never will.

Suggest a strap-on, men can enjoy anal because the prostate being stimulated causes pleasure. Little point - and dangerous - for women.

Fathersdaycry · 21/06/2026 22:13

Sorry, but that’s not the point of the post. It doesn’t really matter. It’s context to his overall behaviour today.

Why mention you need notice then?

SerendipityCat · 21/06/2026 22:45

Why is everyone assuming he'll want anal or a blowjob? For all we know, he might want to be lashed with a stick of wet celery whilst wearing a flying helmet, like the character from 'Allo 'Allo.
Whatever it is, the ungrateful twat wouldn't be getting it from me. Manchildren don't get treats.

Cannot be anal, that’s vile. I suspect a blow job, he sounds so childish though op and implying you have to make it up to him because his chocolate bar melted or whatever!
He’s just finding a complaint so he gets his Bj…eurgh

I think OP should stick the chocolate in the fridge and then...think Private Jones.
