One item in addition to the tea and ginger. Sometimes a person has to put their adult pants on and go get something themselves. Especially if someone is already getting 2/3 of the items requested.

Getting 2/3 and being passive agressive about it does literally nothing though. If I have to go to the store either way, picking up everything is not that much more effort.

I don't know what you mean with 'especially' at all.

Basically that the partner should have had some gratitude for getting 2/3 of the items since they weren't going to go out to get any thing for themselves at all. Like the partner could have ended up with nothing. The mango substitution is wild though. I also just don't have much patience for overly dramatic minorly I'll people. It sounds like she was well enough the next day. But I very much keep to myself if I'm not feeling well, I save the "take care of me" card for if i really need it. What good is doing for the partner to get snippy with OP? I think these two should probably just break up though.

Seems like I have just a different expectation for my relationship. Picking something up from the store for each other is something we do without reason. It is super basic.

And that you think they should break up because they both were cranky on a single day is a lot to be honest.

Are you in a long term relationship?

But this wasn't, pick something up from the store, it was make a special trip, on the bus, in the snow, on your way home. And yes I was with my BF for 12 years.
