Rant of the day about food wasting husband

[lambfish]

My husband and I are not like lots of other couples that nice talking/listen to each other, we argue every day all the time. i guess that’s the way we are?
But his habit about food is driving me mad. Like this morning, our daughter wants an boiled egg, he boiled two, my daughter ate one. By the time I’m back from work, the other unopened egg is in the bin.
Or lemon, if he needs a squeeze of lemon, instead of cutting a slice& putting the rest back, he would just squeeze the whole thing.
Tomatoes, he would take a big tomatoes and cut a couple slices for his sandwich then leave the rest (usually end up in the bin by the second day), but I got small cherry tomatoes for him that I thought he could easily take a couple instead.
Any way, too many of these small things. I’m tired of telling him these days, therefore I’m here.
Am I alone?

Does he do the food shopping?

If you argue every day all the time, I think wasting the occasional egg is the least of your problems

Why do you argue all the time?

Yes he does. I think he tries. But sometimes he just buy things without checking the fridge as well. There was once, he bought 2 bags of food (rarely remember shopping bags too), and 80% of food is what we have already got! :(

He sounds incapable of adulting.

What do you argue about?

I think because we are very different people, and we don’t agree with lots of things and we both could be short tempered. I know it is not good, that’s why I’m not shouting at him right now

Soooo.. Why are you together?

We argue about pretty much everything, such as I think he is buying too much toys for our daughter, he thinks I'm crazy with my vacuum cleaner- I almost hoover our dinning room everyday (got dog and kids) etc..
But I should add that he is a lovely kind person and he is good with kids - doing exciting stuff.

I think there are things I didn't notice or they weren't obvious before we got kids. Plus We stayed in different cities before married.
So I assume this is pretty rare, I'm on my own then?

My oh does the same, asks for x amount of food but doesn't eat all on plate, if I give him less then he's still hungry aftermath can't win.
He will cut up a silly amount of salad (he's nit big on salad and neither is D's) far too much for me& dd to eat so he throws the rest away. Also cheese, he thinks grating it will make it last longer, I see his theory as its spread out it stretches further but then insists on having cheese with everything! Same goes for herbs and spices, when he cooks he throws a bit if everything in. Does my nut in!
We don't live together so sometimes if I cook a bit too Much for me & DC, the leftover bit If seeing oh after i would put in a tub & give to him to eat. Only to ask him next day if he liked the food or what did he have with the leftovers if it was a small amount. Only to be repeatedly told, "oh I forgot it in car had to throw it away" or "forgot still in my fridge" so now If I have leftovers I just save it for myself for lunch.
