[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He didn’t know enough.. it’s unfortunate.
You can be sad about the broth. 
But if he didn’t know, you can’t be particularly sad about HIM and the broth.

But do be sad about the broth. It was a representation of your limited time and energy.

Go to him, and make sure he knows you’re not upset about him. It just felt like a sad moment to find out your work was gone, and now a new dinner plan…. See if he will buy dinner. “Please can you make it better for me? I don’t have another dinner plan. Can you help me with this? Again, I’m not upset at you for taking care of our house. It’s only unfortunate.”[/quote]

Rereading this. I want to try this approach.

But what if I’m more sad about his reaction and defensiveness? I don’t even care about the broth anymore.[/quote]

Focus on your own response first. Otherwise you need to start with the way you dealt with it. You want to focus on his reaction while bypassing yours.[/quote]

OP seems way more interested in rehashing the drama than taking accountability for her side of the street.[/quote]
Her side of the street? For making soup?

No soup for you, weirdo. [/quote]

broth is usually made from scraps. This isn't the catastrophic loss OP's overreaction makes it seem. Yeah, it's a bummer, but she didn't spend that much time or money, certainly not enough of either to get divorced over meat broth. Ridiculous drama, and she needs to look at her part in it, including her rush to caw about it here.[/quote]
