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.

In my opinion something like anal is a thing that he has to be prepared to take in order to give. So once you've pegged him, then tell him he can crack on. I bet he'll go off the idea pronto.

Urrrrgggghhh.
Lots of people ’prep ’ for anal by not eating much,-who are these ‘lots’of people? Do you mean gay men?
Then having constipation to look forward to the next day out of your sore bruised arsehole??
What fun and jolly japes.

Similar to today, I did get breakfast though.

So why didn’t you do that for him?

BlueFahrenheit · 21/06/2026 23:24

OP's husband wants a BJ, no doubt.

Silly man.

I know its not the point of the thread but why do some men see anal sex as a special treat? It's a shitstained orifice. There is poo in there, literal shit!! That will end up on your genitals, what is sexy about shit?? 🤢🤢🤢

My DH says exactly this.

This thread is too much 🤣🤣🤣

I've spat out my tea twice 🤣🤣🤣

sweeneytoddsrazor · 21/06/2026 23:27

Only thing I would agree with him on is chocolate has no place in a fridge. Wouldn't have any problem with eating it all in one go though

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 21/06/2026 23:28

You don’t get any kind of sex act by moaning and being a prick all day. Salvage the day 🙄

I don’t think you should ever be doing a sex act that you don’t enjoy though. One that you feel you need notice for doesn’t sound like one you enjoy.

He’s a twat
Give him a punishment pegging
Teach him a lesson for next year

This made me cry with laughter.

Thank you very much!

It is interesting how some men’s minds work,

I expect most of us ‘help’ our small children with cards and treats to gift their fathers, and eat something nice for dinner.

But the day for lots of families including our family, has become how can the mother spoil the father of her children - we’ve sort of missed the point that it’s about the kids showing appreciation of their parents however clumsily thats done!

(obviously in this post the man seemed to expect special sex as part of Father’s Day which makes things more interesting!)

Exactly, it escalated quickly from an occasion for children to show their dad appreciation to their mum having to make herself available for an anal 😂😂 My husband got a £24 box of chocolates from our son and was over the moon. I got nice flowers for mother’s day and was also happy. Let’s not exaggerate with all this special day bs, breakfast in bed, gifts, restaurant dinner, anal 😂

harriethoyle · 21/06/2026 23:22

So why didn’t you do that for him?

Shit happens (no pun intended)

He doesn't get to act like an ungrateful fucker and demand sex acts to make up for not getting breakfast in bed.

Not the sex act 🫩 the breakfast!

Anyahyacinth · 21/06/2026 23:34

Bite him..by accident of course… utter yuck …he should be apologising to you

BlueFahrenheit · 21/06/2026 23:34

I wouldn't allow a drunkard near my anus.

WhyCantISayFork · 21/06/2026 23:35

My DH didn’t get half of what yours did. He got a box of celebrations and a card. And he hasn’t asked for anything more.

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.

Happyjoe · 21/06/2026 23:41

So hubby hasn't learned that a sparkly personality and a witty repartee is much more likely to get him sex acts, not emotional blackmail.
Christ, he sounds hard work. Sod that.

When i read this all i can think of is the song, justin timberlake bringing sexy back.

Ops husband is not doing it though lol he`s not giving notice.

Edited

This thread keeps giving 😂😂😂

CaesarAugusta · 21/06/2026 23:43

Why can't he put chocolate in the fridge? Surely it's the sensible thing to do.

JohnBullshit · 21/06/2026 23:49

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.

Justonemorething82 · 21/06/2026 23:53

Next year, lash a bar of Galaxy at him (for breakfast) saying “that’s the only chocolate you’re getting!”

DoubleBoubles · 21/06/2026 23:55

Not the point of the thread but surely taking immodium before anal is going to cause a bit of a mess 🤔

ilovepixie · 21/06/2026 23:58

i have a friend who only gives blow jobs on bank holidays and birthdays 😂😂

blubberyboo · 22/06/2026 00:00

@Fathersdaycry

There was literally nothing you could do today to make this arsehole happy (excuse the pun)

He deliberately acted like a sourfaced toddler all day so that he could manipulate you into a sex act that he knows you dont want.

This is why all Fathers Day gifts should be from the kids ..not the spouse.. so that transactional sex doesnt feature
