Am I right to be upset?
My boyfriend and I live together and have lived together for 3 years. He works crazy hours and I work maybe 20 hours in a week and take care of the house. I do most of the grocery shopping and cooking but there has been a few times we’re my boyfriend has gone to the store and here’s the the last three times and why I’m annoyed.
- I make this one dish with chicken rice and beans and for the last three years have used this rice in a green package. My boyfriend has seen me buy it in the store, he’s seen me use it to cook, we even talk about it cuz I know I comment that it’s my moms favorite rice.
Me - “hey babe can you get some of that rice in the green package so I can make “xyz””
And he comes home with a completely different style of rice in a yellow package that I have never cooked, never bought and I just don’t like. I’m a very picky eater.
- I have another way of cooking rice using this Mexican seasoning my boyfriend introduced me to. I make rice about once a day using this seasoning. He’s seen me make it and we have talked about because he insists that I add to much and I insist he doesn’t add enough when he cooks it.
Me- “babe while your grabbing the chicken can you get some of that seasoning for the rice. I didn’t realize we were out and I already got the rice on the stove.”
And again he comes home with a complete different seasoning. He came home with packets what I use comes in a bottle, mines red and the one he grabbed was yellow. Never used those packets to cook, never bought them and the full box is still sitting on my counter almost a month later.
And then today and I just had enough
So we used to make steaks with these premade garlic mashed potatoes. I absolutely love those potatoes. We haven’t had them in awhile because of my boyfriends new diet. I remember once we bought those potatoes and a different prepackaged roasted potatoes and I told my boyfriend I don’t like roasted potatoes that’s why we ended up buying both packages. We have only maybe bought those roasted potatoes a handful of times in the last three years and have always gotten the garlic mashed as well because I don’t like roasted potatoes So today he was going to the store to get some chicken and
Me- “babe can you get those garlic potatoes in the black container like we used to get with the steaks.”
And he comes home with the roasted potatoes saying I didn’t say anything about mashed potatoes
Do I have a right to be annoyed? I didn’t even eat with him I just went back in the room and went back to what I was working on, on the computer. We barely spoke before he left for work and he said I was being short with him.
