to refuse to share food?

[Vitalstatistix]

It feels as though I am being petty and/or greedy but at the same time, it gives me the rage when I make myself a snack and my husband wanders over and says "that looks nice, can I take some?"

I tell him no, and to go and get himself one. It really irritates me that he wants to take from my plate which means I either have only half or have to go back and make myself something again, after having said no, he isn't hungry when I initially go into the kitchen saying I am getting a snack, do you want anything.

So tell me, am I petty or do you understand why it gives me the rage.

YANBU!

I don't share either.

"Can I take some?" Is an INFURIATING way to put it too!

NO!! YOU CANNOT!

I hope you say that.

I was gonna say why don't u offer to make him some too but u do so I can see why it bugs u. I wouldn't mind dh having a bite but your dh taking half is annoying when he said he didn't want anything

Me.

People taking food from my plate grosses me out. I wouldn't be able to finish eating.

I think saying no is fine.

Oh and this totally reminded me of Friends "Joey doesn't share food!!!"

Joey doesnt share food.

There is an hilarious episode of Friends dedicated to Joey's hatred of sharing. You would love it! Try and search YouTube.

whats with the big picture thing now? ehhhhhhhh, stop it now mumsnet.

Beaten to it.

No. I like the pictures.

I love Joey

YANBU at all.

Lol i hate it but im one of those people who do it

I don't like sharing food either, I'll let me DH have some if I'm feeling nice but most of the time no!

I hate sharing food. If dh uses my cutlery to eat something I can't use it again I need to go and get fresh stuff, drives him crazy but it just gives me the heebies!

YADNBU - I HATE people assuming they can take food from my plate. In a restaurant with friends, you choose what you want, friend decides not to order chips and then tries to take some from my plate, their hand gets smacked, hard. If you want fucking chips, order them!

YANBU, I am very bad at sharing food.

Sn00 my DH LICKED the side of the gravy boat earlier and I hadn't even been served!!!

Vital doesn't share food!

Sorry, couldn't resist, it's one ofmy favourite Friends quotes!

YANBU, nothing is more infuriating than someone saying they're not hungry then expecting to share your food.

I FUCKING HATE people that ask for a bit of my food. If I offer then fine and I have been known to offer people a bite of my food but I FUCKING HATE when people eat my food. I don't share. Even with the kids, I totally grudge it.

Sorry for the swearing. I do FUCKING hate it though.

My dd1 (19) does it all the time

"No mum I'm not hungry, I don't want any dinner"

Then sits at my side starng at my plate like a starved urchin.

CatLady- I hate it but I'm one of those people who do it -same here!

VitalSX Couldn't you make something that your DH doesn't like or something loaded with mustard to try & change his ways. (Evil )

I live alone.

When I make a snack it's ALL mine.

Well, except if I give the dog a bit.
