AIBU Sausages for dinner again?

134 replies

DogBark · 23/02/2018 18:58

Every day this week my wife has made me sausages for dinner when i come home from work. Literally as soon as I walk in the door I am presented with sausages!

I said on Wednesday can we not have sausages anymore and she said ok but low and behold Thursday and Friday we have sausages again!!

I know it sounds ridiculous a thing to pick up on but it has got to the point where I think she is doing it to try and start an argument. Either that or it is some joke I am not getting?

I suggested on Thursday that she lets me cook when I get home but she had sausages ready again when i got back today!

Any help appreciated!

Well I have actually put on a lamb curry for tomorrow in the slow cooker. At least at weekend there is some reprieve.

Suggest a takeaway that you will bring home with you? Or go out to dinner. (If you go to the chip shop and she asks for sausage and chips it's more evidence for my pregnancy theory).

Something is definitely going on, I was going to ask if it's different dishes every night but with sausage (sausage and mash, sausage casserole, a fry up etc). Something must defo be up and she's playing mind games which is a bit pathetic really. If she has something on her mind then she needs to just say......no offence but can you not think of anything you have done lately to piss her off?

I do this to my DH, only with aubergines. Want to swap? He loves sausage and mash.

RippleEffects · 23/02/2018 19:19

Link please (sausage link as in joined together)

Do you have DC, is it half term and she's going round the twist, did you miss valentines, do you need to take her out, should you actually do a shop and buy some ingredients (with a few days left on the date) to show you're happy to cook a meal.

LonginesPrime · 23/02/2018 19:19

Could it be a money thing? Perhaps she's trying to save money, or trying to make a point about money?

Link please

Grin

But seriously - you're being presented with the exact same meal? That's weird. Are you sure you haven't made some odd comment re her cooking/meal planning? It does sound like a passive aggressive action.

When my ex complained (once!) that he was finding our meals "samey" he was told in no uncertain terms to plan shop and cook himself! (He still can't cook beyond a fry up/stir fry 20+ years later, and the REASON they were samey is cos he's a fussy bugger! ) funnily enough he didn't complain again (to me - wife 2 in a rare show of backbone didn't cook his dinner for a week when he tried same on her).

ADarkandStormyKnight · 23/02/2018 19:22

Perhaps she ordered six packs of sausages instead of a pack of six sausages by mistake?

Graphista · 23/02/2018 19:24

Even if she had she could've frozen some, it also doesn't explain the EXACT same presentation each time.

Maybe I will make valentines day special this year. When is it?

NapQueen · 23/02/2018 19:25

Do you serve her the same thing day in day out?
*boring chat
*silence

*crap sex

*poorly timed shit jokes

Is she trying to make a point?

Klobuchar · 23/02/2018 19:27

Maybe you could just ask her about it. You know, have a conversation. Are people really in relationships where they don’t want to bring up stuff like this in case the other person kicks off? If so, what on earth are they wasting their lives for?

Graphista · 23/02/2018 19:29

Valentines is 14th February every year.

St Dwynwens (Welsh Valentine's around 20th Jan, less comercial and i find more romantic- lively story worth googling)

Mothers day is next big calender date

PurpleDaisies · 23/02/2018 19:30

Go veggie?

Graphista · 23/02/2018 19:30

Now wondering if ex's food fussiness is a direct correlation to his lack of repertoire in bed - god I feel sorry for wife 2 Wink

viques · 23/02/2018 19:31

Did you by any chance do an online shop and put 10 instead of 1 next to the sausage order?

Risen · 23/02/2018 19:31

Man can not live on sausages alone!

Wife: Challenge accepted.

DOTLEYtheONEeyedDINO · 23/02/2018 19:31

Is your wife eating the sausages too? Are you sitting down together to eat the same meal everyday? Or is she watching you eating the same meal everyday (whilst she's had something else!)?

Maybe sausages were on offer and she got 200 packets of them?

You need to ask.

RoryAndLogan · 23/02/2018 19:32

Don't expect your wife to be your cook and take your turn to make dinner?

Whisky2014 · 23/02/2018 19:32

This is Sooo a woman writing this. God. Get a life.

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 23/02/2018 19:32

Tell her you will stand for this sausage fest no more!!!
