So if guy slightly burnt the rice for tea by accident or some other type of food for tea, what would your husband say? My husband usually gives me a lecture on how useless I am and how I 'need to improve' ect ect and doesn't support me or make me feel better about my tiny mistake, just makes me feel worse

If you can stop your skin crawling for long enough to shag him, tell him that he didn't quite get you off, how useless a fuck he is and how he needs to improve.

Then kick him in the cock and tell him to go cook YOUR dinner.

Seeyounearertime · 04/05/2016 18:19

I'll just add that if I did say to my GF that she needed "To improve" then I wouldn't be posting on MN again until the proctologist had removed my tablet.

daisywhoopsie · 04/05/2016 18:20

My DP would be more likely to comment if I didn't burn anything.

Lostandfoundat21 · 04/05/2016 18:24

Are you his home help, does he have anything wrong with him?

00100001 · 04/05/2016 18:28

He'd probably say... "Never mind. No one got hurt" and then we'd just use whatever was on top/not burnt. Or just have dinner without the rice, there's always bread available Smile

DoreenLethal · 04/05/2016 18:29

It wouldn't cross his mind to tell me to improve, he is not a dickhead wankchops so always says 'dinner was lovely' or if I really fucked it up he would tell me to call a takeaway and he would go and fetch it.

SocksRock · 04/05/2016 18:29

Mine came home the other day and what I'd cooked was completely inedible. No idea why, it was something I'd done loads before. He asked where the Dominos menu was and went to soak the pan.

He can be a bit of a cock about he floors being clean though. He doesn't criticise me, but he does redo them if they aren't up to his standard, which I'm not sure how to take...

EatsShitAndLeaves · 04/05/2016 18:30

He'd say "bloody hell the rice is burnt....you're a great cook how did you manage to do that? Did I forget your birthday" the latter question in a very anxious way.

Having been reassured not (as its me whose useless at remembering dates not him) he would take the piss a bit about all the cookery books I have and then he'd offer to pop to the shop to get some 2min microwave rice whilst I sorted out the rest of the dinner.

00100001 · 04/05/2016 18:30

socks I would so washing the floors if he's gonna do it anyway Grin

00100001 · 04/05/2016 18:31

Stop washing*

Narp · 04/05/2016 18:33

Mine might take the piss bait

I think it goes without saying really, that your husband talks to you as if you are an employee and he a nasty boss

NannawifeofBaldr · 04/05/2016 18:33

My DH, would say "never mind tastes fine" if it was edible or he'd say "it'll be great with bread" if not.

Sounds to me like your DH could do with quite a lot of improvement himself.

Narp · 04/05/2016 18:33

"piss bait" ????

He might take the piss a bit

Bearsinmotion · 04/05/2016 18:35

Laugh, then offer to get chips.

I once dropped his dinner on the floor after a long day at work and burst into tears. He made me sit down and eat mine while he cleaned it all up and stuck oven chips on for him.

Thefitfatty · 04/05/2016 18:35

At first he laughed it off. The tenth or so time he asked me what was wrong. That coupled with never remembering (or really ever listening to anything he said) and constantly losing and breaking everything led to some serious issues. Eventually I had to acknowledge (with the help of a marriage counsellor) that there was something wrong WITH ME and the conclusion was undiagnosed ADHD. Getting help has totally changed our marriage.

NOW, that's my story. My DH isn't a dick and he put up with a lot and smiled and helped more then anyone else ever has, and eventually he "broke" (I.e got frustrated with my not really paying attention to what he said and started getting cold).

So the question you should ask yourself is, is your DH like this all the time and just a dick, or do you "burn the rice" a lot and is he finally getting frustrated?

I'm leaning towards just a dick, but I wanted to bring up my experience just in case

UptownFunk00 · 04/05/2016 18:36

He sounds like a useless partner.

DH would say "You're paying for the takeaway!"

AugustaFinkNottle · 04/05/2016 18:36

Mine would either get on and eat it or, if it wasn't edible, would make a joke about it and be perfectly happy to get something else. If he tried lecturing me, he knows perfectly well I'd tell him to get over himself and ruthlessly take the piss for months to come.

Have you ever tried turning that round on him and telling him he could do better when he makes mistakes?

BlueberrySky · 04/05/2016 18:36

Mine would tease me about my lack of attention to what I am doing. He would then wait whilst I made some more, or he might offer to do it himself.

MewlingQuim · 04/05/2016 18:37

Mine would say "its ok we'll have chips" or similar (I would be wailing and calling myself an idiot Hmm ) then later we would have a giggle about all the other burnt meals, some mine some his, most memorable being the curry we burned black as we were too busy shagging Blush

GunShotResidue · 04/05/2016 18:39

DH would laugh, jokingly call me an idiot, and help me make more.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 04/05/2016 18:39

He'd probably say Fucking hell - the one day in the year you cook my tea and you bugger it up. Then I'd tell him to piss off and we'd eat it.

If he told me I needed to improve I would hit him with a heavy object.

Thankfulforeveryday · 04/05/2016 18:41

Mine would probably take the piss and then suggest he goes to the chippie for our tea! Never would he put me down.

blinkyoullmissit · 04/05/2016 18:41

My DP has seen me burn the food too many times. He now does all the cooking.
(He used to just laugh and point out how I should never enter master chef)

Tell the buggar if he wants 5* rice to cook it himself and if he says no then order yourself a lovely take away and eat it in front of himGrin
