To have not shared the chips?

If he is only selfish with food then I would find a way to manage the situation. For example I'd start buying a bag of chips for the car. Everyone has massively different relationships, experiences and expectations with food and it sometimes clashes. I come from a family of absolute pigs and my dad would definitely have tucked into the chips in the car but my mum would have bought enough for the car and everyone at home.

If he is selfish in other areas then I'd have a think about whether you want this for your future.

His names not joey is it.. Joey doesn't share food, (Friends for those who don't know lol)

Might be better if you buy extra or seperate meals in future but not sharing is not a great quality tbh.

He's annoying and selfish.

Very true @5128gap as I enjoy sharing with people I like / care about. As long as I feel appreciated and not taken for granted. But maybe that’s because I’m also a stroppy cow. 😉 I’ve already been thinking that if I was the OP, I would have kicked the muppet out of the car and driven me and the food home, and he could bloody well wait for his until after he’d walked home.

Well there you have it, he's an inconsiderate, selfish individual.

Do you need to ask anything more?

Look the only person who can have a few (not half) extra chips is the one dishing them up in the kitchen. Even if they’re too hot.
Eating them in the car is not acceptable.

Its a myth that only children don't like sharing. In my experience it's the opposite. You grow up without ever needing to compete for anything, so you don't see food and other stuff as something you either need to hoard for yourself or consume quickly before anyone else grabs it.

Greedy, selfish, thoughtless, inconsiderate….all good reasons for binning him. Food can’t be the only area where he shows these traits.

As an only child myself, despite our reputation(!) I happily share pretty much everything with friends and loved ones. I’m described as incredibly generous. However, I am ONLY willing share when I CHOOSE to offer and/or freely agree. If someone just tries to take (or nags/pressurises me) things do not go well. The partner of my closest friend once took a bit of food (when I hadn’t finished eating grr) off my plate without asking. He got the death stare and was told that if he ever tried that again, my fork was going straight through his hand. I meant it and he could tell. Might have been the way I grasped my fork with a stabbing motion. 😂He got the message and never made that mistake again.

OP, keep buying separate portions, or one extra.

I do with kids too, they think it taste better in the car than later in their plate.

unclench, it's just chips. We have absolutely no idea if he's genuinely greedy, and unattractively overweight or normally active and very fit looking!

YANBU. As a one-off, I'd be annoyed and tell him so. As a regular occurrence, I'd be considering whether his good traits outweigh the bad. If they do, I'd start ordering separately or divvying up the food right away... or possibly putting it somewhere that he can't get at it until you're both ready to eat. But seriously, that's ridiculous! I'd expect to have to do that with a young child or a dog, not my partner. I think ultimately I'd just have to tell him that it annoyed me so greatly that I was questioning the relationship and see if that wakes him up to how unattractive his behaviour has been.

Frankly, if he was sat at my table he would have been rapped over his knuckles with a piece of cutlery, greed around food is singularly unattatractive. I am with Smithy on this, you order for you and nobody else -

If you're fighting over chips, it doesn't matter who's being unreasonable - you're not in the right shaped relationship for you.

I'd have done the same as you.

No you aren't being unreasonable. You shouldn't have to buy 2 of everything just because he can't share. It's a very unattractive trait. Hopefully he'll take some steps to rectify it.
If he actually wants a full size portion to himself then he needs to stop pretending to want to share.

Would he do this with friends, and does he just hoover up everything at a buffet?

My DH has tendencies towards this but some awareness and will say "take this away from me before I eat it all" and hand over the popcorn or whatever it is we are sharing. It would really get to me if made no effort at all to curb it.

I’d find the gobbling of the chips in the car unbelievably unattractive.

I’d also think a relationship where you’re reduced to squabbling over chips is somewhat awful.

Alcohol lowers self control so I’d put 10% of the blame for his behavior (gluttony and over reaction) down to that.
The rest is his, especially the repetition.

You beat me to it.

Why have posters stayed with men like this?

What's the bet this greedy git doesn't drive either?

I have this all the time, even when I lay dishes of food on the table to share when plates come over..taken to smacking his paws off now, don’t care!!

You did share the chips.

Pig Face scoffed his half in the car and showed you massive disrespect in the process.

This would really piss me off.

He's calling you petty because he can't stand the fact that you've stood up to him this time.

Does he have other redeeming features which make you want to stay with him?If so , you're going to need to use practical solutions. Buy your own food separately, even if you think it's too much to eat in one go, so there are no arguments over whose is whose. Put your food in the boot. Get him to take turns with driving.

Two portions of chips next time.

You did share the chips though, he just ate his sooner

My DH is like this so unfortunately I have to match his pace. There’s never any popcorn left by the time the film starts. You both need to have your own portion of chips.
