Partner gave my Easter egg away-am I being selfish?

[blindleadimgtheblind]

I know this isn't important etc but I'm annoyed
So last week I said to him that I was going to Tesco.
Did he want me to get him an Easter egg and he said no.
I said shall I grab one for your niece (she's 13)
He said no it's okay il give her £10
So I didn't grab them any
I got myself a terrys chocolate orange one.
Left it in the kitchen
Get home tonight after work,his niece has been over with his sister -spotted the egg and he gave her it.
I'm a bit pissed off
I doubt Tesco will have any left now
I really fancied it too

He should pop out this evening and get you one. Even if he has to visit multiple shops.

The fact it is an Easter Egg is irrelevant. He should not give away something that is not his to give away.

He owes you the same egg AND interest. This really isn’t on

I don't think I'd really care to be honest. It's just an Easter egg, though I suppose it depends if he knew how important it was to you and if you've been going on about it or not. Just get him to buy you another one. If there's none left of that particular one, get another one that you like. Stop being a martyr over a chocolate egg.

Rage-inducing. Nobody messes with my chocolate and gets away with it.

How would he like it if you gave his belongings away?

I don't think it's a massive deal as long as he now goes and and replaces it. the fact that you said he won't is a massive deal.

I wouldn't care that he gave my egg to his niece.

I would care if he didn't replace it. Especially when you told him!

And if you had done that to me, I’d be cross.
Imo this is disrespectful. If the egg isn’t yours and you know your partner bought it for themselves, it’s not ok to help yourself.

The least he should have done is to tell the OP (rather than leave discover ot) and find another one.

I'd be miffed, but surely Tesco still have a squillion eggs in stock that he can replace it with?

Beside the point, but aren't Terry's chocolate oranges still £2 a pop? Surely you can get a lot more choc for your buck with several oranges rather than an egg?

I'm surprised so many think it's ok just to give their partner's stuff away.

Loads of Easter eggs left in all the shops near me, there’s still over a week until Easter so not sure why they’d be sold out already. That said, he shouldn’t have given away your egg.

He should get it for you. The act of going to the shop to replace the egg. What do you see in this person! Is he amazing towards you in every other way?

So wrong, you bought the egg, you wanted to eat the egg. The twat gave away your egg. He buys the replacement identical egg . If he has to trawl several supermarkets to get an identical egg, it’s his responsibility to do so. Simple!!!!

It's annoying and he's been thoughtless, but the situation is still salvageable.

I've looked on Amazon UK and they have various Terry's Orange eggs.

I would be inclined to find the Amazon page showing the exact egg you bought and then take over the laptop, smile and and say that they can deliver over the weekend, if he's quick. Then let him get his card out and pay for your new egg.

I'm not sure whether you can see it on this link:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Terry%27s

The strangest thing about this is that you are so sure he won't replace it that you won't even ask. What a way to live!

I want to say you need to treat yourself with more respect and insist he replaces it. But maybe that is not realistic from where you are now.

So if his 13 year old nephew came in & saw your brand new bike/laptop/phone, would he say "oh take it for a spin, you can play with it if you like ?".

Yes, it was only an Easter egg, but what if it had been given by your boss, or your Mum ? Is it still OK to just give away things that aren't yours ?

It’s an egg. She’s a child. The shops are coming down with eggs. I can’t believe this is a problem. How do you cope with serious stuff??

I'm assuming he though she was too old for chocolate. I would however expect a big thank you and a replacement. If he doesn't, that's a big problem.

Go to lidl if you have one near as they have them with a chocolate orange in the box as well.

There's loads in the shops!

Its an easter egg. I would have no issue whatsoever my DH giving my easter egg to a child in the family.

These replies 🤣 "hes a twat", "what else does he not care about", "why are you with this person" its an egg ffs 🤣

That's really rude of him.

It starts with the little things

They had bloody loads in our Tesco this evening.

I'd be annoyed too. Can't imagine my husband doing that though.

An egg, a packet of biscuits, whatever. Not his. No respect for his partner's property, no respect for her feelings. It does matter. It does show a complete lack of respect. To him, anything convenient for him (being approved of by his sister and niece, for example) is more important that his partner's feelings. Choose to overlook that if you wish, but it's a red flag waving in the breeze.
