Settle this one for me, please.
I was planning to cook something tonight for supper, but found out I was missing pasta. I cannot make this dish without pasta.
DH wanted the car after his lunch break. That's fine, I didn't need it. I texted him and told him that I was out of pasta and can he please get some after work and that supper will be late.
He instead wants to pick me up, have me bring him back to work, go to the store, come home, cook supper and then most likely bring him home.
I am exhausted. I haven't slept well in days. Also, even though the store is only 6 miles, it's easily a 15-20 minute drive...I don't want to deal with the traffic. I already ran errands earlier and dealt with traffic.
I realize it's my fault that I didn't have the pasta, but I also don't see where it makes sense for me to go get it when he already has the car. I run the vast majority of our errands. I'm tired of driving all the time. I offered to make something else, but he has yet to reply.
So, do you think I should suck it up and do things DH's way or is he being a bit unreasonable? I fully admit I'm grumpy from being so darn tired, so my attitude about this may not be on target with what it should be. The idea of dealing with traffic and driving in the car makes me want to cry...I mean that literally. I'm about to cry over it.
I think I'm waaaay tired 
Re: Settle this one for me, please.
That's what I'm afraid of...that I'm being a raging b!tch. The guy works 10-12 hour days a lot...I know he's tired by the end of the day, but at the same time I'm getting up 4 days a week fairly early in the morning to do a small job with an elderly lady and then I run all the errands, do the housework...I like it, but I feel like I don't get time off...and once I'm home, I don't want to get back out for stupid pasta.
I'd be annoyed with your H, but I also think you're overthinking it. It's dinner and as long as you both have something, anything, to eat you'll be fine and he can't complain because you're making it.
I understand though...lack of sleep can totally have that effect on you!
If it makes you feel any better, I almost cried at the pharmacy today because they couldn't get my coupon for my BCP to go through and wanted to charge me double. Luckily it worked out, but I was tired, hungry, and about to flip my lid. lol
Oh man...messing with your BCP and your wallet? Hell no!
I swear when I get tired I just completely cease to think rationally.
I have learned to never tell DH what I am making for dinner. I used to do that and would not have the ingredients when I am about to make dinner and he would sit there upset until he got SOMETHING to eat. His big thing is eating something when he gets home.
A fed husband is a happy husband.
So in your case it does seem a little unreasonable if he already has the car but he figured out that he could eat something else so he is still a great hubby now that he realized the error of his ways.
