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 have a half brother who I rarely see, when I was younger he would visit at Christmas or holidays and eat my fucking chocolate. It really pissed me off. Think selection boxes, or Easter eggs that kind of thing. I was just a kid and he's a lot older than me. He has diabetes too. I have children and would never eat anything that had been bought for them. I've posted about him before and had the piss taken out of me for holding a grudge since childhood but i still think it was a shitty thing to do to a child.

VeryBitchy Resting Face,

So what. The man is an adult.

It wasn't nice but it wasn't earth shattering either.

Comfort eating is a thing. There is always a reason for it. Get to the bottom of that first before castigating the man for eating a frog.

Better that he ate the fekkin frog than drank or gambled his and his family's way to bankruptcy.

Perspective and balance here.

My DH wouldn't even take a piece of chocolate offered to him by our DD that someone had bought her as a gift. What a selfish greedy fat cunt!!

Make him buy these.

Funniest thread I've read for a while.

I get it.

It's a joke.

Has to be.

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

Agree with the sentiment (we don't need balance) but not with the crazy idea that the BBC is balanced! It's shockingly biased.

[Soubriquet]

Exactly the man is an adult

He should be able to control himself and know not to eat chocolate belonging to his daughter.

[Dixiechickonhols]

They sell them in the harry potter shop at kings cross too

[BananaThePoet]

Definitely do the laxative thing.

[xexxsy]

Soubriquet,

The daughter will be fine.

The husband needs to be hugged and is missing some comfort. That's why he needs his kid's chocolate.

LOL. But many a true word is spoken in jest!

[Soubriquet]

It's not about the daughter per se

It's the fact that this man child can't control himself and has to have everything right now at the cost of everything else

Why are you infantilising him?

[roxyhoik]

So what. The man is an adult.

Yes and he stole from a child, his own child, it's fucking weird!

[sykadelic]

He stole from his child. I'm not sure how he ever thought that was okay. The idea that you, a grown adult, need to lock your chocolate away from another grown adult is just awful, let alone locking away your childs food so her father doesn't eat it.

He has a problem and you need to stop pandering to it. He isn't starving, he won't starve without it, he's just a selfish git.

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

The husband needs to be hugged and is missing some comfort. That's why he needs his kid's chocolate.

Pass the boak bag, seriously.

Do you have any trees in your garden, OP? Tell DH to go and hug one of those if he's feeling in need of a cuddle.

[AmberNectarine]

Urgh. How would you ever want to have sex with this man.

There's something really grim about his lack of control here.

[PanGalaticGargleBlaster]

Comfort eating is a thing

A total lack of control?

[littledrummergirl]

He has stolen from his child. Of course that's not ok. It doesn't matter how small the item he takes is, every time he does it he erodes trust.
He needs to start taking responsibility for his actions.

[amammabear]

How could he do that?! That's awful!

[xexxsy]

The man needs a hug. He doesn't get it. So he eats chocolate.

Doesn't matter where he gets it, he needs a hug/love/sex/acknowledment

Flip the thread to a woman addicted to chocolate. I just say this because.... it is usually more prevalent in women than men.

Is this a reverse thread or what?

[Soubriquet]

A woman would be told the exact same thing

Along with seek some therapy

[MrsOs]

Wow what an arse to eat the kids chocolate! That is completely unacceptable..

[roxyhoik]

Lol why do you keep saying he needs a hug??

[yumyumpoppycat]

If a woman had eaten the chocolate it would still be unreasonable.

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

Lol why do you keep saying he needs a hug??confused

Because really, Xexxsy needs a hug, not OP's husband.

It's called projection.

Group hug for Xexxsy, everyone!

[NameChange30]

GROUP HUG

(Disclaimer: hugs and chocolate are not the same)
