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!

Maybe it’s a money thing. Maybe the butcher had an offer on. Tomorrow, suggest that she snips the sausages into meatball size pieces and puts them in a sauce with pasta. I know it’s still sausage but a little variation.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 23/02/2018 19:38

She is having an affair with the butcher. He is providing her with free sausage? grin
Fnah, snigger.
Oh dear OP, you so wanted a man bashing thread and you didn’t get one, soz for you!

Just say, "darling, can we have sausages once a week only, please?" What do you fancy for dinner tomorrow? Shall I pop into M&S, Waitrose and grab some nice oven food? How about this and this? Just go and buy something. Maybe she is depressed or wants to make a point. How is your sex life, Op? Do you satisfy her?

Aprilshowerswontbelong · 23/02/2018 19:40

Are you depriving her of sex and she is hinting she wants your sausage??

MrsFrisbyMouse · 23/02/2018 19:46

BOGOF she's just being frugal - you need to increase her household budget

DogBark · 23/02/2018 19:46

Well people suggesting i take my turn cooking. As I said before i said I will cook but wasnt given the chance.

Those asking if it's coz Im crap at sex? Well it is possible although I don't think that is the reason. If im crap at sex I obviously don't know I am therefore what can I do?

Those suggesting I am woman? ......Im not.

I think I will see how this weekend goes with the curry and try to make sure sausages are not included in next shop.

Is she eating the sausages too?

user1495443009 · 23/02/2018 19:47

Is she on a budget? If it money related? She could go vegetarian sometimes

DogBark · 23/02/2018 19:47

I don't give her a household budget. She is an adult and we have joint finances.

Yes she has the sausages too

Get a grip and talk to her instead of banging on on here. Don’t be a brat, whats the wurst that could happen? You clearly don’t have a very thick skin.

faceremovinghairscream · 23/02/2018 19:49

Is she stringing you along?

Itssosunny · 23/02/2018 19:50

I think she wants to make a point. She gets the same thing all the time and so she decides to give the OP sausages daily for him to know how it feels.

DogBark · 23/02/2018 19:50

Can i say I am suprised by the system of a "household budget" where you have to ask for more like some sort of child with pocket money?! .....bizarre.

My wife and I have joint finances.

I am not lord of the budget

All this gripping of bratwurst I need more wine. So forgot it's Friday - I'm jet lagged.

DextroDependant · 23/02/2018 19:52

That is a good point, are you both eating the saudages?

Hidingtonothing · 23/02/2018 19:52

Biscuit (makes a change from sausages)

DextroDependant · 23/02/2018 19:53

Oops cross post

KitKat1985 · 23/02/2018 19:53

If things are otherwise okay between you, is it possible she just managed to buy masses of sausages on the cheap?

Could you make a joke out of asking her why all the sausages?

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 23/02/2018 19:56

Star for your wife for one of the fucking weirdest punishment/way to start an argument strategies ever.

LouJDawe · 23/02/2018 19:58

This thread is brilliant lol you've definitely upset her have you made a comment like "her dinners are rubbish she's only good at sausages"

extinctspecies · 23/02/2018 19:58

I think you need to ask her straight up, in a friendly way, why?

e.g. - Was there a special offer on sausages this week?

Withhindsight · 23/02/2018 19:59

Try and find out what is going on by making a joke- tell her you would really like some more sausages and buy and wrap up some sausages and present to her with a number of recipes, toad in the hole, sausage casserole, sausage rolls, sausage plait is my limit of sausage recipes.
Have you forgotten to put bins out, fix something, birthday, anniversary, left your pants / wet towel on floor, toilet dirty?

I have fantasised about doing this with my DC who are obsessed with Domino's pizza.

I was wondering how many nights in a row I would have to serve Domino's, before they begged me not to.

But concluded their love of takeaway pizza would outweigh my budget.
