Husband annoyed that dinner is late

Tonight I was about to make a nice dinner (roasted chicken, potato gratin, an apple & walnut salad - so a bit of effort).

I came downstairs and my husband asked when we were eating. I said it would be ready about 8.15pm.

He got annoyed because he thought this was late to eat. He said he was hungry and tired. We normally eat a bit earlier, but it's the holidays and we're off work, so I said it should be ok that it's a bit later.

I felt like he was being ungrateful when I was cooking a nice meal (and he hardly ever cooks).

He then complained more and talked about having toast instead.

I was really annoyed, and said I would put the food in the freezer and cook it another night. I turned the oven off. He then started to back down and asked me to go ahead and cook it.

I cooked it anyway, because I had the food, but was really annoyed.

Do your partners ever have moments like this? Surely if someone else is cooking for you, you don't complain about it being a bit later than you'd want?

I'd be hungry again before bed if I ate dinner at 5:30! I guess 5:30 is ok if you can finish work and other things before. I finish work at 5:30 so that would be impossible for me.

That's what supper is for....
You know like a sandwich 🥪 or some fruit

@BigPharma why resurrect a post almost a year old for that? I know I can eat more in the evening if I really want to. I said I work until 5:30 and am also watching calories.
