Can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with my partner??

He suggested lamb chops for dinner and there was a pack of 2 big ones at the shop. Well he wanted to get two packs and have 2 chops to himself. I kept telling him we don't have that much money to be buying 2 packs, especially since I will only eat one and that he should have veggies with it to make the dish more filling. In the end I got so fed up I said you have one chop or you have nothing. And he choose nothing. We left the shop with nothing for either of us. I'm happy to make up a random dinner with whatever we have at home, but for 3 hours he's been asking me what we're doing for dinner. I've told him to go back to the shop and get the lamb, he refuses and wants me to go. But he also refuses to take over from looking after the baby and it's baby's bedtime so I can't just leave and go to the shops. I don't understand why I'm the bad guy for "starving him" when he's being a bitch about dinner. He doesn't have money so I feel like he should appreciate he gets any dinner at all

I have no idea but my partner doesn’t like vegetables and won’t really eat any apart from sweetcorn and peas. Even if I’m doing veg for me and my little girl he will just have more of my food or whatever else we have. Would meal planning help? Just so you can sort out costs easier. You can make really nice food low cost, and 1 lamp chop plus veg and mash is easy to do and very filling too. I’m sorry to hear this though. And then wanting to make you go but not looking after the baby

He's a grown man, if he doesn't like what you're cooking he can go hungry or make something for himself. making him dinner is a nice gesture, not your responsibility, make whatever you have at home. Having veg in your meals is super important it makes a little go a long way especially on a tight budget, we'll have mixed veggies with lasagne to make the lasagne last longer. maybe have a conversation about including him in meal planning/budgeting. My partner was the exact same and it literally would make me sick and anxious when he didn't eat which is what they want

Lmao these “grown men” that don’t like veggies. GROW TF UP AND EAT YOUR DAMN VEGGIES MF. Honestly you aren’t “starving” him. He chose this. Remind him he chose this. He can either put his big boy pants on and go get the lamb he wants or deal with nothing/whatever you end up cooking. Let him sulk like a baby - maybe next time he’ll be more grateful.

Why does he have no money? Is he unemployed? Also he sounds like an absolute moron. So he chose nothing over having one and now wants YOU to go to the shops and get it? 🥴 Can he not cook for himself? Why must you feed him? How embarrassing.

Men were raised differently back then. Emotionally unstable. My husband is the same way. He grew up in a household that fought constantly so he does the same with me I don’t buy into it. I can go days without eating. He can’t even go 15 mins without stuffing something in his face His boss even said he whines more than our child does 😂😭

He sounds like a baby
