Rude spouse

Tell me if this is rude, my husband was supposed to make dinner himself, frozen fries and microwave burgers, Because I have a badly injured shoulder, and hurts to move, so he did fries, which I would up reheating with cheese i shred. and I made gravy, so anyways after the kids and his burger was finished he sat down and started shoveling his burger in his face, while I was still making the gravy n fries, I winced in pain as I took fries out of oven he just continued shoveling. Not to mention when I finally finished serving everyone, he then uses two hands to eat, burger in one fries in ither as he quickly rotates between hands. Do you think this is inconsiderate and rude?

Whether its rude or not (I really can’t follow the story–I’m in the who gives a shit how you eat in private camp), there’s more than just burgers and fries going on here.

It’s certainly unfortunate.

And in the wrong forum.

Sounds like a typical American family dinner to me :slight_smile:

Are you complaining about his table manners in general or the way you perceived his callous treatment of your fragile condition? Those are two very different things although I suppose they could be correlated.

Can I come over for dinner?

What outcome are you actually expecting here?

If every single person in the thread says “Yes, that’s appalling behaviour!” are you going to go to your husband and say “You are rude and inconsiderate and a bunch of random people on a messageboard you’ve never heard of agree with me”?

Because I don’t think anything good is going to come from that course of action.

Conversely, if we all say “No, that seems fine to us” are you going to stop, reflect on your situation and say “Gee, guess I was wrong. Best re-evaluate my priorities in life”?

Of course not.

Sorry to hear about your injury; hopefully it heals up soon and with minimal pain.

This sounds like a combination of a husband who’s a jerk and a wife who’s a martyr. OK, he prepared the burgers and fries by microwaving them, but what’s this about homemade gravy and cheese she shredded herself?

Did you tell him what was expected of him? Explain what you can and can’t do and let him know what he needs to do to help you? He may have looked at you and thought you were doing fine.

Moved to IMHO.

Anyone who microwaves a hamburger has some issues, but I’m not sure it’s rudeness.

If he was assigned to make dinner, and you decided to change his menu you were the one acting inappropriately. One cook per kitchen.

If someone serves your kids fries and burger, shouldn’t you be more concerned about the lack of anything vegetable-like rather than dumping gravy and cheese on their fries?

It’s never about the burgers and fries.

What else is going on in your lives?

White Castle makes microwavable burgers, and you can buy precooked hamburger patties that only need to be zapped prior to mealtime.

This does not sound good.

Wait, wait wait! Were you barefoot while he left you in the kitchen making gravy? We need to get a complete picture, here.

Because otherwise, I’d say you’re lucky to have a husband who shovels. Shovels and cooks. A prince among men. Maybe.

This. I am not a therapist but it’s my humble opinion that the dinner is a sign/symptom of some underlying issues.

Yes I think that posting this unpunctuated stream of consciousness drivel here was very inconsiderate and rude.

"Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy.

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, what kind of pie?"

Not rude… But definitely insensitive and SELFISH!
