to want my husband to come home and bring me a Chinese

Have been ill all weekend with a cold/flu. Husband works Friday night/all day Saturday. I work Monday-Friday so Sunday is the only full day we get together. He went to a Christening today at 12:00. When he told me he was going at the beginning of last week he said he'd only be there a few hours. It's for the child of someone he works with and I did ask if I was invited but he said he didn't think so - was a bit about that but I don't know this person and wouldn't have really wanted to go anyway - especially not now I feel so crap. Anyway, when he left this morning he said "I might be back later - depends on if I have a drink, although Simon is going so I probably will". Meaning that he would stay over at a friend's house. I told him he best come home and to bring me a take-away when he did!

Have just text to ask where he is (6 o'clock) and he said he's still out. Can't imagine that he's not had quite a few drinks in 6 hours and so is probably unable to drive now. Text him back to ask if he's likely to bring me any food or should I sort myself out and he said "prob get own food".

There is nothing to eat except some frozen garlic bread (not been to shops this weekend as feel so crap). Have no money in house so can't order take-away and feel far too rough to even get dressed and go to get money out.

So now I'm in a bad mood but I actually know I'm being unreasonable as:

  • I'm mainly ill because I went out Friday night when already run down so made myself worse.
  • He very rarely goes out without me
  • If he was here I'd just be here lying on the sofa on MN and watching TV
  • I don't actually want him here - just really want my Chinese!

So please tell me I'm being unreasonable before I reply to him with a really arsey text!

Probably. But then I am keen for a chinese tonight too so I am on your side!

SleighBelleDameSansMerci · 13/12/2009 18:25

YABU and now I want Chinese and have no hopes of getting one... Already cooked chilli; child due in bath; single parent; etc.

But now I really, really want Chinese!

You can order pizza hut online if that's any help! (not that I ever have, mind...)

This is quote from my DH when I read him your post...

"Now that IS bad....."

He reckons he should be showing you a little bit of love and putting you first. If it were DH, he would have gone to the christening, had a couple then come home with the chinese and would even have presented it on the plate for me..........

But that's him...

Has DH got a credit or debit card on him? If he has he could order and pay for chinese over phone and then get it delivered to you.

Mollyfish · 13/12/2009 18:35

Or someone else there could order using their card and dh give them cash. (Simon?? given as he has "kidnapped" your dh for the night)

PurpleHeffalump · 13/12/2009 18:36

Fruitysunshine can I swap DHs with you please?!

I'd probably agree if it weren't for the fact that I went out and got really quite drunk on Friday night. DH knows this (he's seen the photos!) and so probably doesn't feel too sorry for me being ill. Although I have to say - I'm not still hungover - am genuinely quite ill. But it's my fault - I should have been tucked up in bed on Friday night with a Lemsip!

I can't believe he'd rather be out than spend his Sunday with his wife. I'm not being ironic, I honestly mean it, this is seriously weird

PurpleHeffalump · 13/12/2009 18:38

Am going to look into paying over phone with card - and Pizza Hut webside. Thank you!Failing that, the garlic bread is going in the oven with some cheese on (if it's not mouldy!).

Mummygirl - am really not bothered about him being out. We spend every other Sunday together and he very rarely goes out drinking with his work friends (prob twice a year). We usually go out together with mutual friends. I'm also leaving him for a weekend over my Christmas holiday. We don't have children yet - (planning to very soon)so really don't begrude him going out when he wants while he can.

I just really want a Chinese Take-away!

Managed to scrape together enough money from change jar/DH's pockets! Am now very happily tucking into my lovely lemon chicken that has just been delivered. DH can stay out all night now and I can have the bed all to myself!

Is lemon chicken in batter?

PurpleHeffalump · 13/12/2009 19:57

Yep - with lots of lovely sauce and egg-fried rice! Oh and prawn crackers - Mmmmmmmmmm!
