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

'muck'

LilyoftheValley

Ladyripple Because this bullying starts with something very small and gradually one's control goes. I always said that I would not be pushed around but I found myself controlled over everyday things. I was scared to argue with him at all over the past two years of his life when I nursed him through terminal cancer. Too scared that he would leave our house and monies elsewhere and my daughter and I would be penniless. It has taken years to regain my self confidence.

So sorry to hear.

Yes, we have no idea what the OP meant by 'drives me mad'. There are ways and ways...

If he said 'what a pity you couldn't get the other one, I prefer it' or 'what is that much you bought, you useless witch'

Theses mornings???

What do you do with the pods. Aluminium or plastic ones?

Tassimo run a recycling scheme for their pods. They send out bags to put them in and if you live in certain areas, they are collected. If not, you can send them back through drop off points. It doesn't cost the consumer anything.

Sadly it has been shown that very few users bother to recycle.

And no-one has mentionned the 'B' word yet!

I did - I said wasn’t it time somebody said “LTB”

Buy something else, put it in the pink packet, keep quiet and see what happens.
When I worked in a hotel we used Nescafe Instant at double strength if the 'real' coffee ran out - don't think anyone noticed as it was still in the pretty cups with the fancy chocolate on the side!

I know be careful with saying anything remotely feminist, particularly on a website well known for its feminism

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

All gone now, out of stock again we've all ordered it just to try it out ?☕

Would be acceptable, yes. ??

Recycle, doesn’t everyone?

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

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. ?

We are regular agony aunts on Gransnet.

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

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!

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'' ?
