Sandwich Related Rant

[MrsFruitcake]

Need to get this off my chest as DH has just completely enraged me.

I'm making lunch for the children (Ham and cheese sandwiches on seeded bread for anyone interested) and asked him 3, yes, 3 times if he wanted one. He says no each time despite the fact I know he's hungry.

He watches the children come down from their rooms where they've been studying and sit at the table to eat while I finish making my sandwich and as I walk into the sitting room with it he calls out 'I didn't want to put you out you know'. Aargh!

I then return to make him one saying he's being annoying as he'd had ample opportunity to ask for a sandwich and he then behaved like a very rude child by saying if I make him one he won't eat it!

He's worse than any child I've ever dealt with. Both on furlough at the moment.

But you did return to make him one? It says that in the OP

I then return to make him one saying he's being annoying

Busted!

I'm assuming OP changed her mind about making the sandwich as he said he wouldn't eat it if she did.

Does he not have hands? Is he unable to use a knife and spread some butter on bread and add the desired filling for himself? Fuck me

I didn't make him one as he said he wouldn't eat it if I did and even I'm not so stupid as to waste time making it when he said that!

Did you not listen? He said he didn't want to put you out so why make him one!!!!

So why did he say “I didn’t want to put you out” what was the point of that statement? He’s being deliberately goady. He’s being a prick. What you should do is go to him and say clearly “you’re getting on my nerves and I’m not doing this anymore. You’ve had enough sandwich chances and you’ve blown it. From now on I will make mine and the children’s sandwich and I won’t offer to you. Just to be clear, you are now expected to make your own lunch without funny faces or sulks or comments. If you make any comment I will take your sandwich off you and put it in the bin. I’m done with listening to weird stuff coming out of your mouth” then see how he likes those pickles. Why should you put up with this crappy behaviour

LTB.

Either just make him one without asking ot better yet, set up a rota where you both make meals.

Oh, I see, you went to make him one after his comment.... I still don't understand why you did that?

He says no each time despite the fact I know he's hungry

You aren't a mind reader. HE knows whether he's hungry or not. You asked if he wanted a sandwich, he said no. It's not up to you to second-guess his hunger levels.

He may be an awkward bugger, but you aren't Derren Brown. If he says no, take him at his word!

Always remember he can make his own sandwich. These are wise words from a friend of mine!

Dh does stuff like this. He kept on saying this morning (he was going into work) “shall I make myself a sandwich?” I’m like “I dunno, should you?” A bit later on...”il just make myself a sandwich then go into work, what shall I have on it?”

Later on as he’s getting ready to leave “erm...shall I make my own sandwich then?” FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST EITHER ASK ME TO MAKE IT OR DO IT YOUR BLOODY SELF!!!!!

It’s like he doesn’t want to be so obviously incompetent to outright ask me to make it but instead has to “hint” at me making it then when I bloody make it he’ll go “oh, you didn’t have to do that, I was gonna make it myself!” Aaargh!

@ANoiseAnnoys - not thread related but LMAO mine does the same with the questions. The ther day he said "I think the washing machine might have finished, did you hear it beep?" and I said "I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention."

He continued "I'm sure I heard it beep, and we'll have to get the clothes out pretty quickly otherwise they start to smell funny." So I said "You're right, so you could always go and check if it's finished."

I usually do the washing so it doesn't bother me at all to go and get it out, but just flipping well say so.

Why didn't you marry a competent adult instead of a manchild? Wow
