To want to eat my own birthday chocolates

[Toastandstrawberryjam]

I admit I got a few boxes for my birthday. Nice ones so I intend to make them last and the type of box with only a few chocs in each. However I've been happy to share them with DH and have even given him his favourite ones that are my favourite too.

So I go in the kitchen just now and he's scoffing something. He's opened a new box and is on his third one. Just standing there throwing them into his mouth. And he's eaten all of my favourites.

Aibu to think he could have asked before opening a new box? Asked me which one I might like first? And sat his arse down to eat and enjoy them rather than barely tasting them?

The above quote makes me think of the three musketeers, but in there older, fatter years

I live with an inveterate scoffer who regularly buys me "everyday" chocolate and then eats it before I get the chance to and although he usually replaces it, there are odd times when he hasn't had the opportunity to do so before I fancy eating it so I have to do sadface at him.

Even he wouldn't do what the OP's "D"H did here. He understands that special chocolate bought for a special occasion is sacred and that he only gets to partake if specifically invited to share.

OP, no court in the land would convict if you took extreme measures over this.

To the questions further up.

I got four boxes. I'm aware that's a lot, but they are the type with 6-8 in. Not multilayered boxes. There was an open box of hotel chocolat but obviously he didn't like the remaining ones. Box he opened was tres expensive Belgian type.

He has chocolate of his own uneaten from Easter (that he likes), we also have a tub of communal chocolate in the fridge. Nice bars.

I do share happily. Every evening so far this week I have offered him his pick first. If he had three or four whilst sitting down and enjoying them then I wouldn't mind. It's the fact he scoffed the three best ones standing up.

KILL HIM

Yes, i read your update pg 2

KILL HIM

The standing to eat and not tasting is the worst bit. Just chucking them in his pie hole and rattling them down his oesophagus without them touching the sides. No no no no and no.

Yes that is what annoyed me the most. It's the utter disrespect for the deliciousness of them.

Oh dear. DH would never cross that line and even so much as look at my posh chocs never mind scoff them with such careless abandon. He's not that stupid. He has eaten my everyday chocolate before but usually replaces it before he's found out. On the occasions he hasn't done it before I've rumbled him, he's out that door faster than Usain Bolt down to the corner shop

That's a lot of chocolate at home in one go!

This is why my chocolate thinks it's in the Witness Protection Programme. It's moved between several safe locations at unpredictable intervals. My DP is an unrepentant Scoffyfucker and cannot be trusted around treats.

Oh there would be major sulking. and stabbage
Dh is the opposite, posh chocs to be consumed at a rate of one per night. (And now I'm boot camping he has even given that up, the sweetheart)
Ds 26 however sees any food as fair game, including all the nicest chocs. Twat.

I am the chocolate scoffyfucker in our household. DH will open a family sized bar of Dairy Milk, eat two squares, then leave it. For a fortnight. I'm at it like a Labrador in a bin bag.

I have this conversation with my two year old, often.

Taking something that belongs to someone else is not sharing.

Bloody cheek of him!

I would expect him to replace it with a box of at least the same size.

I wouldn't dream of reading DH's birthday novel first or taking a cd for the first listen and those are non consumables. He's a cheeky fucker.

Am at chocolate Witness Protection Programme.

Is he dead sorry yet, OP?

It was pretty rude before you revealed how much other chocolate was in the house

That's just not on.

Buy him a juicy expensive fillet steak from the butcher ... then cook it and shove it in a sandwich which you eatin the car on the way to B&Q.

It's not the chocolate, it's the lack of respect that would irk me. If it's mine, please ask me if you'd like some. If you take it, you deserve an arse kicking.

DH did this once and once only - I went absolutely ape shit and then burst into tears. He hasn't dared do it since!

Leave him- he's a sneaky thief!

I'm at it like a Labrador in a bin bag.

My DP has chocolate, eats a bit then leaves it in the fridge - for weeks

I dont eat any of it as the sulking and moaning gets too much. Infact most of it gets binned as it goes discoloured as its so old.

I would go RavingNarnaBatShitCrazy if someone ate my birthday chocolates.

Indeed it is nice to share, and all that crap but not birthday chocolates. Never ever ever!

It's a rule here that birthday chocolates are sole property of the birthday person.

Greedy, rude and disrespectful. I'd be lunging for the carving-knife. Lollers at the chocolate Witness Protection Programme!

To help himself to A chocolate from an opened box of Truly Special Chocolate Darlings would be bad enough but opening a new one without being invited to is beyond the bloody Pale.

Retaliatory measures must be taken. Very painful ones.
