Annoyed with DH

5 replies

DH has just woken me up and asked me what’s for tea for himself and DC. I guess the leftovers have run out! I responded they can eat whatever’s in the kitchen, or alternatively Asda is open till 10pm. He said we’ll have whatever you’re having, and I was annoyed so I said I feel poorly and don’t want any tea, so he can just sort himself and the kids. He’s stomped off in a huge huff.

I’m really angry because he clearly thinks I’m in charge of meal planning and knowing the contents of the fridge. On a normal week I do the grocery shop and cook dinner because DH works full time and I don’t. But why the fuck does he think I’m in charge of feeding him during the holidays? I haven’t thought about food beyond Xmas dinner and Boxing Day turkey with chips, I certainly don’t know or care what’s in the fridge right now, and he’s a grown man so I don’t see why it’s my problem? If he wants tea for himself and the kids then he needs to look in the fridge and make something! Not come whining to me like a little bitch.

Had you discussed about him doing extra cooking while you're both off work? I can see both sides really, I can understand why he'd assume.

Why should I have to tell him what he can eat? Or provide food for him to eat? He’s a grown man and he knows fine well that I haven’t been shopping since before The Big Dinner. He has eyes and he can see what’s in the fridge, he doesn’t need to bother me.

He has come back whinging that there’s only cheese in the fridge and that’s not suitable for tea. I said it’s not my fault you don’t like cheese? He has stomped off again.

That is incredibly frustrating. Especially that he bothered you while you're unwell. Now instead of resting, you're having to be annoyed by the man child who should be not only able to feed himself and his child, but really offering you food if you're unwell. Totally get it. Hope you get some rest. Sounds like you most definitely deserve it.

Horrible, whiny manbaby!

Ick!!!!

He's treating you terribly. He should be bringing you food on a tray and acting like a responsible adult and loving husband.

Gross.

Exactly! Why didn’t he look in the fridge and just decide to pop to the shop for some food for tea. Instead of waking me up and expecting me to take responsibility and solve his problem.

When he said to me “What’s for tea?” what he really meant was “There isn’t any food for tea and it’s your responsibility”. Except it isn’t.
