Partner disrespecting a simple ask

A bit of a random question I know but I want your thoughts, My partner is a smoker, he drinks out of the milk carton multiple times a day, we have kids that use the milk also, the thought it grosses me out, not only because it’s just gross in general but because he is a smoker it makes my blood boil that I continuously have to have the same conversation with him to please not do it. Am I over reacting or would you all be pissed too?
**edit: He does the shopping I don’t drive so I can’t jump in the car and go buy groceries when I need, i have asked to get seperate milks, he buys 2x 3L a week maybe more if he runs out, he uses so much milk he would go onto the kids milk and drink from that anyway, not much more I can do about it then continue to ask him not to do it, he only gets the shits if I keep asking him not to. Maybe I will try adding a sour one to the fridge and warning the kids to not use it. I also pay all the household bills and he only pays water and groceries, that’s it so saying it’s his house and he can do it if he wants doesn’t sit well with me. I also don’t drink milk so it’s the kids that I don’t want to have to share the milk with someone who drinks from the carton

Yep get separate milk. Or buy uht boxes something that’s hard to swig.

I don't understand how hard it is to get a cup! You shouldn't have to buy separate milks because a grown man refuses to have any respect for the people he shares a living space with.

This would definitely piss me off, too.

Ok the evil version is let half a bottle go off and then put it in the fridge in place of the milk and watch him chug it and then say you would’ve seen that if you poured it into a cup…

Ewww! That would make me 😫 Definitely time to get him his own milk. Why do some men do gross things lol. You have two choices: tell him over and over which has not worked OR get him a smaller bottle of his own. Hey at least he's chugging milk and not beer 😆

I’m the OP.
He does the shopping I don’t drive so I can’t jump in the car and go buy groceries when I need, i have asked to get seperate milks, he buys 2x 3L a week maybe more if he runs out, he uses so much milk he would go onto the kids milk and drink from that anyway, not much more I can do about it then continue to ask him not to do it, he only gets the shits if I keep asking him not to. Maybe I will try adding a sour one to the fridge and warning the kids to not use it. I also pay all the household bills and he only does the groceries so saying it’s his house and he can drink from the carton doesn’t really sit well with me when I’m respond for the weekly rent.
