to expect dh to tell me when he's having the last of anything in the cupboard?

Had a bit of a fall out with dh earlier, when he took the last ice cream out of the freezer and ate it. I asked him if it was the last one adn he said yes. I asked him if he thought it would have been nice to say it was the last one at the time to see if me or ds might want to share? I think that I usually will say 'I'm just about to have the last xxx, do you want any?' He then started being a real arse and has been over exagerating asking if he is 'allowed' to have anything. It does sound a bit petty, but it's happened before when I just get in the mood for a treat of something and go to the fridge / freezer / cupboard for said treat to find that they're all gone. AT least if you know there are none left, you don't get yourself in the mood for said treat!
I've come to the conclusion, sadly, that either I'm a bit of a control freak, or he is selfish and both of these things make me
Not really expecting replies, just wanted to get it off my chest as off to bed in a mo (I always have to do the mornings too. And we're both at work full time, so it's NOT FAIR!!)

of course you are being unreasonable. Its his job, as the male in your life, to annoy you in this way.

No man in house to steal the precious ice creams

Although when there was a man in the house our tastes in the sweet department were different enough that running out of things was rarely an issue for the other individual

I think you ought to buy a bloody big tub/packet of something he doesn't like so you always have an emergency stash of yum in the freezer

Sorry, that sounded diminishing of your woes. It's all crap, men are often selfish twunters. Made that way unfortunately.

I don't know but it is much worse having a dp who uses the last thing and doesn't tell you about it until questioned as you put away the shopping you've just done and realised that X packet is empty and it wasn't on the list!
