To wonder why me fancying gravy and chips is a problem?

[ShinyAndNew]

I am tired and hungover. I want stodge. DH neglected to tell me he had froze the chicken, so there was no Sunday Roast today.

When he asked what we were doing for dinner instead I said I fancied gravy and chips from the Chinese.

He said he wanted something we could all share. I told him to order himself and dd2 something and that I just wanted gravy and chips.

He's slammed the door and sitting in mood now

Why? I don't understand what the problem is? I haven't said he can't have what he wants. What difference does it make what I get?

I am confused

Perhaps he had his heart set on a curry? Sorry, not very helpful I know...

But you can get curry from the Chinese.

What sort of amazing Chinese do you have that also does curry and gravy and chips?

No idea why he's pissed off then, sorry.

It's just plain curry. You couldn't order a Madras or anything. But he ordered himself an Indian last night anyhow.

He wants something you can all share? - how about gravy and chips for everyone? or maybe he doesn't want that, in which case he should be able to understand why you don't want his choice.

Gravy and chips. Ewww...

YABU

Nadia - I am hung over. I'd eat horse meat if was covered in salty gravy

Although you are being sane people do get funny about food....I'm having a little sulk because I wanted indian takeaway and my husband is cooking risotto and greens in garlic (I know I am being unreasonable but I wanted comfort food).

Go ask him to be more specific about what he wants.

has he got the hump because you're hungover? Or is he hungover too (and that's making him grummpy)?

sounds like he wants a big sit down 'family meal'.. i'd be p'd off if i was expecting a big sunday family dinner and my DH just wanted chips.

He wanted his roast.

Mind you he was the one who put the chicken in the freezer so no idea why he's got the hump TBH.

WTF! My dh does this! If I say I want chinese/Indian/pizza whatever he will do everything in his power to put me off the idea. One of the classics are 'food intollerances' which he has which change every month depending on the wind.

Same if we are driving and I want to stop for lunch. Yesterday we were on a long car journey and i didnt have time to have a big breakfast in the moring. )At 1pm I suggested we stop for lunch and he used every excuse going to avoid doing it. Kept on offering me crap in the car like "a nice apple"

I was nearly crying with hunger when we arrived home.

He went through a phase of teasing me about McDonalds after he found wrappers in the car. I swear he would have made less of a fuss if he'd found crack in the glove compartment

He's a controlling food Nazi and I dont understand it.

Oh and while i'm ranting.

Years ago I started saying that i'd like to eat hot chips on the beach. Nothing came of it.
Then I started saying "all I want for my birthday is to go down the beach, buy a bag of chips and eat said chips without being bothered". In fact it didnt have to be on my birthday but I thought i'd have more chance of getting what I wanted if I said that.

Every birthday/valantines I end up with someone I dont want as it doesnt fit in with his idea of what i 'should' want.

Now you may be wondering why I dont just go and eat chips on the beach by myself. Well if I did that i'd never hear the end of it and the guilt would be well and truelly piled on as "we have to eat together as a family".

This should be in the relationships section shouldnt it?

Sod him! Go out and eat chips now! Then tell to SHUT UP. And now I shall exhale....I hate food nazis.

is it that he wants you to all order different things from the chinese so he you can have a bit of everything rather than have one thing each?

VictoriaScrumptious - why don't you just go do it and tell him how lovely it was?

or VictoriaScrumptious - if he insists on making you do what he wants on your birthday, why don't you take him to the beach for chips for his?

Snowflake/Trees:- I dunno I feel trapped-two kids under 2yrs old. Dont feel like I can just 'go'.

anyway=sorry for the hijack op

if he's pissed off cos he wanted roast dinner he could have cooked it himself. He sounds lilke he's being a twat.

Youve really actually had an arguement about this......??????????????

god tell him to grow up and take your kids out for dinner

Oh chips on the beach When I was at 6th form in Great Yarmouth, I used get them sometimes when the wind was freezing and the chips were all hot and vinergary ; it made my nose run in the most delightful way and I was at peace.
Surely you wanting chips and curry for tea cannot be enough to make him strop off?

No, no argument. Just him being a tosser. I went and got my own and dd2's. Now he wants me to buy him something

He could have had what he wanted and shared with dd2. I am not shelling out for an extra just because he was behaving like a spoilt two year old.

He is in a mood because he cannot find anyone to counter sign the dd's passports. He can't ask the licensee at pub he drinks in regularly. I'm not sure why. I can't be arsed to ask him.

oooooh I could murder some gravy and chips, yum yum!

sounds like a childish git to me, he is a grown man and can fend for himself. Tell him to heck off

Maybe he's upset you don't fancy him.

I'd have gravy on anything, personally, even salad.
