AIBU or is DP?

[Supermagicsmile]

If you were given a present and your Dp asked for half of it, is it unreasonable to say no?

It was an Easter egg and I had already eaten half Dp wanted the other half and I (selfishly) didn't want to give it up but did say dp could have it. I know it's selfish to want to keep it to myself but I have issues around food going back to my childhood (which Dp doesn't understand).

Apparently because I didn't give it up willingly I am selfish and dp now won't speak to me.

AIBU? It was a gift to me as a thank you for the past few months and I wanted to enjoy all of it.

Gosh, some people are getting really deep and meaningful here.

He might just have been pissed off at the OP's 'I will not share' attitude, and consider her very selfish.

I know if I asked my DH for a bit of his chocolate and he went all sulky about it, I'd tell him to shove it up his arse

Sorry if I'm reading too much into it! I've had these things pulled on me so often that I'm always on watch for the potential, its like a rubbish superpower :p

Worra - he didn't ask for a bit of her chocolate, he wanted half (ALL that was left) and then refused to eat it because it wasn't handed over in a way that he considered correct.

SURELY you can see that that's a controlling attitude?

and refused to speak to her!

He also knows OP struggles with food issues.

You're not reading too much into it, Stormtreader.

I don't share pizza etc either though - it's really irritating when children (that aren't mine) expect to have a taste of whatever I have, but you order what you want in a restaurant and stick with it, rather than acting like a three year old and expecting to eat something that someone else had ordered

livia I find it irritating when children that are mine do it

I can answer why I don't share (esp if someone asks for some) - I don't enjoy doing it. I was made to when I was a child (only child) and now I'm an adult I don't have to indulge people when they want something I have

Hashi

(you don't need to share this one)

If I demanded the entire remaining half of something my DP had been given to eat, he would politely and lovingly tell me to get stuffed.

Unless it was booze. He doesn't drink, so I get all booze gifts.

If it had been not very nice chocolate I would probably give him some.

Who was that to, Green and why?

Also there may be lots of Easter eggs in the shops but nice ones made with fairly traded chocolate are less plentiful and/or cheap.

Op. Such a ridiculous thread. Share.. don't share.. sure your OH will get over it

Wish OP would give an update and more background.

I feel there is a lot more going on than the choc issue.

Nice post, Green.

If you feel that bad just buy him an Easter egg and say sorry for not sharing yours with him.

Why wouldn't I share my chocolate?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.

Yes OP - buy him his own - that will teach him not to be a twat

Naice, he shouldn't have asked for the half that was left. He should have asked for a bit of what was left.

But no, I don't see it as controlling.

I see it as pissed off with her attitude towards not sharing and (in the OP's own words) Wanting all of it.

It's just such a childish squabble, I'm almost embarrassed reading it.

No Purple I don't understand and I imagine many people don't either.

Which is exactly why I asked

I think it's pretty childish to ask for something that someone else had - presumably he's capable of buying chocolate if he wants some? If the OP had wanted to share, I'm sure she would have offered

I have just read through 6 pages and cannot remember what people wanted to know.
Feel free to ask again floraeasy :)

OP YANBU - even without the sulking, he was being a twat
