to be OUTRAGED at what DH has just confessed?

Last weekend, DH went to the shop for some groceries and came home with a huge tin of chocolates, which he then revealed weren't for us at all but were for him to take to work for his birthday, which is in a few days' time.

(As an aside, I was pretty ill at the time with an infected insect bite which was threatening to turn into full-blown blood poisoning, so I did wonder whether he might pick me up a bar of chocolate or something to cheer me up, thought he probably wouldn't, then saw the tin, then had my hopes dashed again. A rollercoaster, I tell you.)

After DD pestered us almost to death, he then let us have two each and then another one each, after yet more pestering. I then said that he had to take them to work on the Monday as I could not spend a week in the house with DD being pestered for chocolates she couldn't have.

He has just revealed that he put them in his car on Monday but has since been snacking on them in his car on the way too and from work and has more or less eaten the lot Shock

I am OUTRAGED. AIBU?

(He says he would have needed to buy cakes anyway, I reckon it's cakes OR chocolate but not both - AIBU on that too?)

That's fine Badgers - nobody, but nobody, would come between me and a malteser.

How can you possibly stay with him after this?
Mental torture, withholding chocolate!
Leave the bastard.

Salmotrutta · 06/10/2012 13:20

Dita - were they Celebrations? Quality Street? Heroes? Roses?

If it was Quality Street he may only have to go to jail for a bit - rather than killing him.

Thanks Salmo Grin.

Leave the self-serving bastard, but not only that, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

PeshwariNaan · 06/10/2012 13:23

I've done worse than this. I've given DH Christmas chocolates for his stocking and, finding them uneaten at Easter, scoffed them.

Nagoo · 06/10/2012 13:24

yes, I would be OUTRAGED but I hide a secret supply of Frazzles and share them with NO ONE

apostropheuse · 06/10/2012 13:25

This is all a bit of an under-reaction.

He actually needs to book a city break in Belgium for you and him - and then he can buy you nice chocolates there.

Almostfifty · 06/10/2012 13:26

My DH would tell me it was my fault for making him open them in the first place.

Make him bake cakes for them all instead.

Soooooo........... Mr VonCheese

Not only did you deprive your good wife of chocolate when she was so ill. You then went on to drive whilst under the influence of chocolate.

I put it to you Mr VonCheese, that the tin of chocolates were NEVER meant for work.............were they?

You just didn't want to SHARE them..... did you?

Guilty as charged.

Leave the bastard.

Jackin · 06/10/2012 13:32

This just means that next time they won't even make it in from the car.

I hide chocolate in my cereal box, nobody like Musli in my house ( neither do I ) but it is the perfect place :)

You can quaff those little liquer bottle chocolates which I love.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 06/10/2012 13:51

I have done things like this.

Sharing things with your loved ones is overrated.

I remember one christmas hiding a load of chocolate in the boot of my car (because I know if it went in the house we would all eat it before Christmas). I drove down the M5 every day with that chocolate calling to me until I cracked. Every day from then on I would eat some to and from work.

Not one feeling of guilt whatsoever. Never explain, never apologise.

maras2 · 06/10/2012 14:04

Deal breaker for me L. T. B. How very dare he.

PacificDogwood · 06/10/2012 14:07

If the chocolates were anything by Cadbury's, YABU - he saved you from having to eat vile chocolates.

Otherwise YANBU and must leave the basket Grin.

Or, Make Him Pay. Many times over...

PacificDogwood · 06/10/2012 14:08

Genius Grin!

I've got a secret stash of jelly babies and licquorice all sorts in my knicker drawer!
