Husband and Lindor

Me too! I couldn’t get past the OP being in Wilko - had to look at the date of the post. Thought she’d gone back in time. Not a day goes past when I don’t think “could’ve just picked that up in Wilko”. Yesterday - cat treats, doormats and batteries. Today - tea lights and photo frame. My best hairbrush ever was £1 from there, only bought it to put in my work locker but it’s better than my Aveda one!
Sorry to go off topic OP, I prefer savoury snacks so I’m no help really 😂

If my husband told me ‘only one a day’ I’d find that incredibly patronising….and I’d definitely not have only one a day.

It's annoying that your DH is basically behaving like there is no one else in the house that might want to eat them - whether it's this chocolate or anything else. If he is seriously hovering up that much of treaty type food, I'd have a word. My DH could kill a whole box of Tunnocks in one go - not healthy but also it is annoying when the ratio becomes, one me, seven him over the course of a day or so?!

You are married, so I don't understand why it matters who bought them?

Sounds like he needs to improve his eating habits, but shouting rules is ridiculous, perhaps sit down and have a sensible conversation about his health and why you are worried.

I struggle not to steal Easter eggs from my own child. Any food in my house is fair game

"To those sugesting I hide my treats that I want to eke out, I did that for a while but then he finds them and complains "you've been hiding the chocolate again"."
To which I would respond 'I wouldn't get any of MY chocolates if I didn't hide them you greedy fucker. Go and buy your own.' Honestly, he hasn't a leg to stand on if he complains about you wanting to have your chocolate.

You are being unreasonable to say ‘only one a day’, he’s a grown man and that’s very controlling. I don’t think this is about your chocolate but the fact he is overweight and eating unhealthy foods, which you clearly don’t like. So you are being unreasonable to make a rule about one specific thing instead of talking to him more about your actual issue and concern which is his weight and unhealthy eating.

I’m really happy 😃

Don’t share chocolates or treats OP. Each have your own or make it a rule that you get half of the treat each and once it’s gone it’s gone and no stealing from the other person’s half. Seems to work for my DH and me.

One time we had some delicious expensive biscuits that I only buy when they’re on a half price sale. Money was pretty tight at the time. Six to a packet, so three each. He’d eaten three, I’d eaten two. Went for my last one. Gone. No packet in the cupboard. He’d eaten it. He’d decided that I mustn’t have wanted it or that he’d only had two or something. Anyway, I got upset and since then he’s stuck to only eating his allocated half of something like that.

Deary me, you sound ridiculous. A box would only last a few days in this house.

Don’t buy Linder and leave it somewhere it might be inhaled.

Clearly the half a Lindor comment was sarcasm, why's everyone so full on...

I would eat his chocolate when he's not aware. Then when he goes to get some, it'll all gone. Once that's happened once, hopefully he'll be more mature.

Not ok to eat all his then overeat yours as well, he can go out to get himself more. That's just basic manners.

I can’t imagine my spouse and I having separate grocery budgets. Fair enough to say you want to split the box and no one takes more than half so you can eat at your leisure, but policing his intake is ridiculous.

You still have a Wilco near you? Lucky you.

Only one per day of HER chocolates. He can eat what he wants of his own chocolates, but he doesn't. He eats hers!

He is your spouse. Not your child. Let the man be.

"buy his own damn chocolate if he wants to make a pig of himself."

Why is language like this allowed on this site? I know MN is supposedly full of waifishly delicate women only, but surely referring to people as pigs because they eat more than you, is a horrid thing to do?

It happens in EVERY eating thread here.

I couldn't live with a glutton.

flipping heck.

God I cant bear all this treating each other like toddlers. Having own treat boxes, hiding chocolate etc. You are grown ups for God sake. Buy the chocolate, eat the chocolate , buy some more. Tell your partner if you a pissed off that theres none left and either do without or buy some more. I cannot imagine having discussions about who owns a bar of chocolate!

Just hide it better op - and fwiw I wouldn't let my DH boss me around that much.

You need one of those alarmed biscuit barrels to keep them in. Or just stash them in the cleaning cupboard behind the vacuum. They'll be safe there.

Well after reading that I'm craving Lindor 😂
I admire your discipline OP wish I could do just 1 a day
On a serious note I get why you are annoyed, you can't tell another adult what to eat but you can tell him he either shares equally or buys his own

Half a Lindor.

Fuck me that's a miserable way to live.

My God you sound boring OP, I hope he files for divorce soon, I would. Then you can eat all the chocolate you want and bw miserable alone.

Its the competitive MN under eating - there is always somebody less piggy than you.
