DH is driving me mad because I can’t get his normal coffee brand

Presume you mean a suitable replacement husband?

Fleurpepper first of all you talk about him being aggressive to the Op's friend, or disrupting the daughter's wedding then.

Why do you assume the worst - very emotive.

If you were his employee, he wouldnt pay you enough for these demands

As your dh, tell him to look for the coffee himself

Unacceptable behaviour either way

Let him drink tea!!

Seriously, I have a favourite coffee but it seemed to be unavailable so i ordered a different kind in last week's order. Who knows - I might prefer it!

Oh dear- I explained, those other cases were on other threads today- about men being very unpleasant. One to a Gnetter's friend, another to his grand-daughter, and now about nonsense like coffee type. The 'emotive' response was due to wondering why so many women put up with men who are so controlling or unpleasant. Perhaps you have not read the other threads.

In this case, we just don't know how the reaction was, from a mild 'what a shame you got a different coffee' to 'whyt did you buy this much for, you witch (or worse).

As Hithere says, unacceptable behaviour and why put up with it?

I would buy him a Nespresso machine for Christmas. They make the best coffee!

That is another story altogether. Hugely expensive coffee pods and terrible for the environment ;)

Panic over!
In stock

I must remember to take it out of my basket.

Everyone has their favourite something or other, and yes I’d try and find it for my DH the same as if I wanted a particular thing he would do the same for me, difference is my DH wouldn’t be driving me crazy and nor would I him, we would just accept if couldn’t find it then try other types till got something we liked,

This ... exactly, thanks.

Not sure how we are all suddenly talking about bullying on this thread. There is nothing to suggest it in the OPs words. I just took it to mean that she wondered if anyone on here could suggest an alternative.Maybe her husband is doing the same elsewhere. Sadly he may have to do without if he can’t find a replacement to his taste but at the moment the OP seems just to be looking for advice from fellow coffee lovers. I can’t help as I hate the stuff.

Are the threads related? I haven'r read the other threads so I was just replying on this one

And, surely, we all know now why women often stay with abusive men

Isn’t it time somebody said “LTB” ?

My oh my!
The OP was simply trying to source this coffee, there is no need for exaggerated made up accounts of her husband’s motives or behaviour, and no need for feminist rants either.
Many of us want our husbands and families to be happy with their favourite foodstuffs.
‘Driving me mad’ is just a phrase we use.

MawtheMerrier thank you for some light relief

I think lots of people have said that - more or less

Wow - I have seen no feminist or LTB comments here.

Even sadder if comments saying 'don't put up with this nonsense' adds up to either.

No, the 3 threads are not related- they just came one after the other and resulted in my saying 'why'.

If there are no reasons for concerns here why follow on with ''And, surely, we all know now why women often stay with abusive men'' ?

???

Well, I did say "Let him drink tea"!

We don't know anything about Gr8dame or her husband apart from the fact that she does the food ordering (so do I, I'm very controlling ?), Tesco was temporarily out of stock of his favourite coffee and hd had probably kept asking her if it's back in stock yet.

YES IT IS, GR8DAME, PANIC OVER!
☕

But, you know, it has made me want to order some of this coffee to see what it is like, obviously very nice.

If you go on-line now, it is there in stock. Problem solved, next

Perfect solution, excellent coffee. I start the day with a kick start espresso. Still waiting for George Clooney to pop in one of theses mornings. ?

Theses mornings???
