To be cross at DH's choice of chocolates

Got up just now to see that DH has eaten the rest of the small box of dark chocolates I was given at work for doing someone a favour. Plus the rest of the m and m sharing bag I use to give a few at a time to the kids.

I wouldn't mind but he was given loads of chocs for Christmas, most of which he hasn't opened yet, and he was saying only yesterday how much he had. And he doesn't even like dark choc v much while I prefer it.

Should I say something when he gets up? I hate starting the day with a moan but I think it's selfish.

YANBU!

My DH is guilty of similar. He ate all my birthday chocolates from a friend except for one. I actually got one.

He needs to grovel and show true penitence. Tell him, from me.

You say 'oy you greedy sod, get your backside to the shops to replace the chocs of mine you knicked'

Iggly · 18/01/2015 07:41

Make sure he replaces it. And make him explain himself, the greedy fucker.

IssyStark · 18/01/2015 07:42

Agree with the above, tell him to go and replace pronto.

FishWithABicycle · 18/01/2015 07:44

Is any of his stuff something you like? If so then they are presumably fair game for you to scoff without his permission. If not then just pop a small box into the trolley for yourself next time you're shopping.
I wouldn't fuss about the m&m sharing bag - not special, not expensive and easily replaced.

I wouldn't make a big deal out of it (unless there is a huge back story you are not sharing with us) just ask him to replace them with a bigger box. Sometimes it is just easier to reach out & take the chocolates nearer to us than getting up and hunting for your 'own' box of chocolates.

Not saying it's right, but it's hopefully not a 'LTB' situation. Grin.

loveableshoulder · 18/01/2015 07:50

Thanks. I feel better now. There is no backstory, except that I am a bit 'that's mine, that's yours' with great food. Which is not a great quality, I know. He probably thought he was doing me a favour, as I'm scaling back on chocolate a bit this month and was quite abstinent up to yesterday.

But I was really looking forward to the ginger fudge dark chocs today! Waaah!

I guess I would be annoyed at the dark chocs especially as he's said he doesn't really like them, ask him to replace those. The m&m share bag is easily replaceable not a huge deal.

Do you think he has chosen this to eat because they are open? It does not need to have been done out of badness, speak to him,you may have jumped to wrong conclusions.

Would he strop if you or kids eat his stuff?

screamingskull · 18/01/2015 07:59

Ah sorry, bit late to catch up.

This happens in my house too, I am always on a diet and when we get some nice things in i think to myself "oh i'll treat myself at weekend", sure as fate its all gone by then. MY fault I guess for not letting on what I am thinking .....Annoying though Smile

loveableshoulder · 18/01/2015 08:03

Yes screaming he is lazy...and had been to the footy so had a few pints. But not drunk. In fact, we had been out together in the evening, and I went to bed first when we got home. Next time I'll stay up all night to defend the chocolates!

ginger fudge dark chocs

Someone knows how to repay a favour!

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 18/01/2015 08:11

I have to hide mine so I can eat them at my own pace, not greedy DPs ten times as fast pace.

I need to know where I can get the dark chocolate ginger fudge though.

loveableshoulder · 18/01/2015 08:45

I hide things too, twat and feel quite greedy and Blush for doing so.

Ginger fudge!

ShizeItsWeegie · 18/01/2015 08:55

Ginger fudge? Mmmm...that puts a different spin on it. I would check his mobile and internet history. Have a snoop to see if he's been browsing the Suchard website or maybe Lindt. If you find he's been on Green and Black your marriage is effectively over. Once you go Green and Black you never go back! Grin

YANBU my DH does this all the time and is always in "chocolate debt". We got a lovely box for an anniversary or something and I had one before he scoffed the lot. So he went out and bought a box of Wilko's "luxury" chocolates that were reduced to £1.99 because they were a day off their sell by date. They were revolting anyway but the bloom on all of them made them even more unappealing.

BreakfastAtStephanies · 18/01/2015 11:44

Oh OP he had the drunken Munchies. We've all been there. Next time he should get a kebab or chips on his way home or make toast with marmite. Savoury so much better for the Munchies anyway. I am not excusing /exonerating your DH , he needs to make it up to you and apologise. They were absolutely your own chocs and we are possessive about good gift food in this house. If I want to offer my chocs round that is my decision but folks cannot help themselves

BreakfastAtStephanies · 18/01/2015 11:53

Sorry loveable shoulder just re-read and seen you post DH was not drunk ( can't find embarrassed face emoticon)

loveableshoulder · 18/01/2015 13:14

He wasn't drunk, Stephanie, but had been drinking.

No apology. No reference to it. I began the accusation with the words 'I'm not going to go on about it, but...' And he immediately it in with 'but you are' Hmm

You should send him to the shops to buy a replacement box. But chocolates are quite addictive and though he hadn't any right to eat chocolates which were yours. But no apology and no confession that is cheeky. In fact he should buy two replacement boxes.
