Who gives a vegetarian 2 BEEF burgers?!

This is the final final straw. Not even going to say DH because he's not, I'm not even going to say what I think of him. I am vegetarian. We've been busy today so we decided to have Macdonalds. So he says what do you want, I say the usual. So he comes back with 2 BEEF burgers and thinks that's ok. I am sick to death of him and really feel this is just another passive aggressive attempt to piss me off. Just want to cry and then leave, wish I had the energy

@TryingToBeFunny posts about possibly abusive but definitely bullying behaviour aren't the place for really terrible jokes. Not even so terrible it's funny, just unhelpful waste of effort to read

No I don't eat meat at all. It's a hard call honestly, so many times I've started to make a note of all the things he does and then he does something nice and I think it must be me so I delete it.

I am so so confused. It's so hard to tell if he is "spectacularly thick or nasty".... he must be good!

Why would either be acceptable?

What did he say - did you ask him why he had got you meat when he knows you are a vegetarian? (Not that it matters, there isn't a reasonable explanation - just curious about his attempt to justify).

Something struck me that you said - it seems like he's trying to provoke you so that he can act all wounded. Is there any reason to stay together?

Just want you to know It is deliberate and he does know he's doing it! I'm sure he makes out like it's all you but I'd bet it's not. Leave it get him to, he's not going to change.

He sounds awful. I'd start keeping that list again, and when you're tempted to delete it - Don't!

He is goading you, irritiating you for his own sport. Buying a vegetarian meat? Deliberatly goady, wasteful, and ensuring you have nothing to eat. What a prize he is.

I'd do what you can to separate from this man asap. In the meantime, revert to ignoring his goady comments, pretending you haven't heard him. You will at least have the pleasure of knowing that will irritate him whilst removing his smirky pleasure of goading you. Plus when he repeats himself in his attempts to annoy you, it will remind you that he's doing it on purpose.

He's been doing things like this for so long, years and when I get upset or annoyed he turns it on me and makes out I'm over-reacting as if he's the victim and I'm always having a go at him. I keep wondering if it is me but then most of the time I'm just minding my own business and he does something and it's like he's waiting for me to react. I remember what time I deliberately pretended I hadn't heard what he had said when he was doing something to wind me up and he repeated himself again to make sure I heard. I'm typing and I feel as though I must sound crazy! He's gone totally quiet now all evening as usual after such events. I'move been sat alone with my daughter. This is awful. No one has any idea what sort of person he is. He acts like he's so much fun around his clients
You are always having a go at him - because he's an utter arsehole who treats you like shit and you are pulling him up on it.

And he doesn't like you doing that, so he twists it all round to make you feel like you're the crazy one.

Well as yours was going in the bin anyway , his can join it- smothered in fairy liquid . If he is that hungry he can eat it from the bin!

LEAVE.
