Hi I'm wondering if I'm BU here. Last week I did the food shop, bought treats and snacks that my family like but also bought myself a small bar of chocolate you know the small ones that are under 100 calories as a treat as I'm trying to loose weight.
When I went to get it that evening it was gone, my husband denied eating it so I assumed it was one of the kids. The next day he turns around and tells me he ate the bar but didn't want to tell me as he knew I'd be peeved and didn't want an argument over it.
Yesterday I did the food shop and as I'm on the road today I picked up a prepared salad and a fruit pots. The fruit pot was gone this morning and my husband told me he used it in the kids lunches despite there been other fruit he could have used. I'm then told it's not a big deal and I can just pick up another one on the road. Aibu here or does it just show pure lack of respect here?

If you buy stuff for yourself keep it in a separate box

And make sure you ask everyone if they had any specific requests

Get a Tupperware box labelled for you and put your stuff in it in the fridge/cupboard

If he then takes stuff from there you absolutely know he's being a dick.

Labels. Sorted.

Unles you had explicitly told him these items were yours, I'd sayYABU.

Also, youneed to stash your chocolate, etc (items not requiring refrigeration) where they can't be nicked.

YABU. It's "just one of those things" not a "lack of respect". Next time buy 2 of whatever it is. That way you'll have a reserve.

Did you specifically tell him it was yours?

Well it's annoying but to leap from that to a lack of respect does really explain why he was reluctant to tell you he had a snaxident with the chocolate bar
