AIBU to consider killing DH?

[AWishAndADream]

DH has a chocolate obsession. We've been together 4 years and I've never not know him go a day without eating it. He really doesn't care what kind, he'll eat it if it's chocolate.

It's one of the most annoying things about him because when he wants it he will eat whatever he can find, even if it's mine or DDs.

I've tried several things to keep chocolate to myself as I don't eat it everyday and neither does DD; a tin that all the chocolate in is mine and DDs which he's not allowed to touch or eat, setting an allowance for chocolate weekly within our budget which he always spends, and even buying a limited amount of chocolate each day and giving him that. Nothing works.

So we made the rule that he could eat anything available in the supermarket locally but he had to replace it, including going to the shop and buying it himself out of his own money. This seemed to be working.

Until today.

A friend of my mums has just come back from Florida and she went to Harry Potter World. I hardly know the woman but she brought back a chocolate frog for my daughter, which I was extremely grateful as I wasn't expecting it. I was given it after my DD was in bed so put the frog in the cupboard to be given to her tomorrow and the next day and the next day after that and the next day after that. I told DH it was DDs and he was not to eat it.

Guess what he's gone and eaten? The chocolate frog. Grr

I'm gutted, apparently we had no other chocolate in and he didn't want to wake DD to go to the shop to get some. I was working until 9.15pm (home at 9.30).

AIBU to kill him and his chocolate obsession once and for all?

I'm sorry op but he's an inconsiderate arsehole. I have a similar issue with crisps so we have to take special measures to stop me getting fat (dh buys and hides them without telling me they're in the house so I don't hunt them and eat them or we walk over the shop and buy them one packet at a time). Only a complete tosser eats someone else's present.

I don't believe for one second that it's an addiction or an obsession. He's just a twat who cares more about stuffing his face than a child's feelings.

This. With massive bells, pink ribbons and sequins on.

Time to get a safe.

ong that is one of the most selfish things ive ever read. A special present and he stuffed it. what a cunt

That's incredibly rude and selfish of him. Ffs, that was a special present for your DD, the guy is a twat, I'd be seriously angry with him.

Tbf, he has done her a favour. American chocolate tastes like shit

Your husband is a nasty, greedy and selfish. Who takes special treats from their child? I think that is a really cunty thing to do.

Make him replace it.

I'm a chocoholic myself but if he couldn't wait half an hour for chocolate, then that is a MASSIVE addiction.

Melt some chocolate and add some laxatives, then chill it and tell him not to touch your chocolate.

If he had taken my chocolate he would be nutella on toast.

There you go - nine quid!. He needs to replace it, that was a really mean trick to eat your DD's special present.

Has he thought of eating dark proper chocolate? Might curb the need for chocolate.

But what a selfish arsehole! Regardless of his "need" he's put himself over your child and taken HER present!

I'm a chocoholic but there is no fucking way I would eat an irreplaceable chocolate gift that someone had given to my child.

So no YANBU to kill him.

He could have a serious sugar addiction but he could just be a selfish wanker. I am voting for the latter.

What a selfish fucking prick.

I'm a chocaholic and no way would I eat a present meant for one of my kids unless I could replace it almost immediately. That said, I'd hang around them hoping they were feeling generous whilst they were eating it. Of course, at Easter you just have to have a little bit of the egg left lying around...

Oh - fiver delivery cost. So, fourteen quid. Teach the greedy sod a lesson!

He sounds HORRIBLE. Greedy, selfish, thoughtless and cruel. He stole a small child's special treat. I think he needs therapy for his obsession. It's not normal to have no boundaries around any substance. It being chocolate doesn't make it cute.

A bit of a weird thread. Just buy another fekkin chocolate thing for DD FGS. According to OP the DD was asleep and wouldn't have known about the frog anyway.

Controlling wife.

He is probably comfort eating. The poor man.

(turn the tables folks for balance!)

Yikes, I await all the vitriol. But I can take it. I cannot take ridiculous nonsense though.

Chocolate? FFS. And the child didn't even know?

Straight to Relate for you two NOW.

Are they available from the studios in Watford? Make him pay for transport to them and buy her another one. For good measure he should take her along to go on the tour too.

Jesus people. Calm the fuck down. He ate a chocolate frog, he didn't murder the baby jesus.

But yeah, pretty prickish behaviour. Make him buy her a new one.

Xexxsy, you do get that this is a pattern of behaviour and not a one off, right?

I would say that I am addicted to chocolate, but am usually able to stay away from other people's chocolate. (Usually. And I'd never eat anything one can't get at the supermarket!)

Killing him is a bit over the top, but perhaps divorce would be the way to go ... I am a chocolate addict and Harry Potter fan. Taking the joy of a chocolate frog away from my daughter is an offense I would not tolerate!

I guess that means he owes you both a holiday to america so that he can replace the frog! But yeah an intervention is needed, send him over to Biwi or big choc frenzy on the weightloss thread. Better option than murder.

xexxsy I think it's quite likely the frog giver will mention it to the dd when they see them next.

This isn't the BBC. We don't need balance.

Just buy another fekkin chocolate thing for DD FGS

You don't quite grasp how serious this is! It was not just any chocolate, it was a Harry Potter Chocolate Frog!

Urgh. There's no excuse at all for this. What a wanker.
