"I personally think that the LEAST she can do is go to ONE store and buy ONE item"

Grocery shopping might not sound exciting, but for one couple, it's a key part of their weekly routine. They have a system: throughout the week, they make a list, and then the husband does all the shopping on the weekend.

This way, they avoid multiple trips and stick to their budget. Last shopping, OP hit up three stores: Sam’s Club, Walmart, and Aldi.

He came home and unpacked everything himself. Towards the end of the day, his wife asked him, “We’re out of dog food.”

She asked him to run out and grab some. Thoroughly exhausted, OP told her that he could get some tomorrow.

She said that they need some now, but she doesn’t want to go out either. OP suggested borrowing some from their neighbors, but she didn’t like their type of food.

Again, OP told her that he doesn’t want to go out to the store, seeing as he spent almost 3 hours today shopping. She flipped out and stomped off, asking aloud why it was such a big deal for him to go out and get one thing.

OP does 99% of their grocery shopping because going to all of those stores stresses her out. He thinks that the LEAST she can do is go to ONE store and buy ONE item. Is OP the as*hole in this situation?

OP and his wife have a grocery shopping system where they make a list throughout the week and do the shopping on weekends.

OP went shopping, but his wife informed him that they had run out of dog food by the end of the day.

She wants OP to get something now, but he is tired,she also doesn't want to go out and won't borrow from neighbors.

She got upset and left.

OP usually does most of the shopping, so he believes she can handle this one.

The dog needs food, and it's important for someone responsible to provide it without bothering the neighbors.

OP should prioritize the well-being of the dog.

Both of them should consider the dog's well-being.

Checking the dog food supply and adding it to the shopping list when it's running low is a good practice to avoid last-minute runs to the store.

Both are responsible for the list but forgot it.

OP feels under-appreciated for his efforts.

Both are responsible for the dog's hunger, especially if there's no more food for the night.

Both of them are at fault for not simply going to the store to fix the situation.

It seems like both OP and his wife forgot to put dog food on their shopping list, which is something they should both keep an eye on to avoid last-minute trips to the store. Even though OP does most of the grocery shopping, they both share the responsibility of taking care of the dog.

If there's no food left for the dog, it's both of their fault for not fixing the situation and going to the store. In the end, the dog being hungry should remind them both to take better care of their responsibilities and make sure they always have what their pet needs.

They should work together to avoid this kind of problem in the future.
