I can feel the ick is on its way

Been together a couple of years and live together. He's a sulker which has become less as I just tell him straight to grow up. He's mid 50s.
I'm approaching 50. Went out to watch football last night as he wanted. He prepped veggies etc as was his turn to cook. Lad in the bar explained there was a quiz after the football to which OH agreed we would stay for, fine. We were home by 9.30. On arriving home he announced he CBA cooking now and put a film on with the volume at full pelt thus blanking me out. Sulking because either we lost? I'm too loud and it became a laugh that he doesn't get into? Or whatever meh. Either way it felt like a punishment. I went to the shop and bought myself a protein shake and a shitty premade sandwich which he said was disgusting (sorry co-op lol.) Anyhow, I'm starving now awake and bloody fuming while he snores. I'm getting the biggest ick. He's self-centered beyond belief in most areas of our relationship yet (and this is not to sound like a dick) he's punching above his weight (I never saw it but blinkers are coming away rapidly.) I'm done here aren't I? Will only get worse?

You say been together a couple of years, if you mean 2 years that's too soon. How long had you been together when you moved in. wouldn't life be easier if you dated him, go on dates once or twice a week and the rest of the time enjoy your own space.

Kinda disagree. Met my exH and lived together 3 months in. We managed to last 23 years and still good friends

I agree OP, 2yrs is not too soon unless you're young. By the time you're 30 you've got a good idea of what you want in life/a partner and it doesn't take longer than 2yrs with someone to have some idea whether you've found it or not. I'd expect to be getting engaged around the 2yr mark not thinking it was too soon to be moving in together.

He sounds awful OP. You're being othered and ignored in your own home, nothing quite as soul destroying as that. Don't stick around and let that happen, save your soul while you can, it's easier than fixing it up again afterwards.

Sounds like the silly little man is jealous of your outgoing personality.
Turning up the volume to blank you out would have done it for me.
Like you say, you would have bought a lasagne for both of you anyway.
He needlessly ruined a really good evening. What a sulky twat.

God he sounds pathetic. Sad little man taking his shitty mood out on you.

He sounds like an idiot. You’d be better off without him. Men can be such dicks!

I can't be doing with people who sulk. Just fucking talk and communicate like a grown adult. It's so much easier and stops any stress. You could have had a nice take away and watched a film together - but oh no, he chose to sulk and act like a toddler

Life is far too short to put your energy into someone like this
