A bit of background first, DH and I have been together since Uni, for 20 years, we have one DD toddler (3 years old).

Today when we went shopping and were browsing the aisles, DH picked up MARMITE and said 'ooh, I fancy getting this and having it in toast'. I flipping hate the stuff, in 20 years he has never eaten the stuff, that I am aware and now sudden he wants it. I told him I feel betrayed that he never told me he eats this, and worse of all he gave some to DD who also ate it.

Should I LTB?

Mmm Marmite.

Dh once came home with that squeezy cheese in a tube (primula?) and Sandwich Spread. I threw him out for three month until he'd learned his lesson.

Jux · 17/05/2017 21:18

Definitely LTB. He needs to be free to indulge.

You, however, are probably a vegemite lover or, worse! a Bovril fan

ChrisYoungFuckingRocks · 17/05/2017 21:19

Yanbu. Bovril is the only worthy spread on toast.

This ^^.

My ex introduced the DTDs to Marmite as well, and I curse him for it. Curse him to hell!!! Evil, evil stuff.

Fartootiredtobeawake · 17/05/2017 21:21

TipTop that is my worry too, what else could he be hiding. More secrets...I thiught I knew him.

Jux I don't like Bovril or Vegemite either, colour, smell...yuck!

Marmite with peanut butter on toast delish

Fartootiredtobeawake · 17/05/2017 21:23

I feel sorry for your kid OP.

ChrisPrattsFace · 17/05/2017 21:26

Pretend you're not with her...

TattyCat · 17/05/2017 21:28

Aaaah Marmite, the elixir of the Gods. Marmite, cheese and beetroot sandwich!

In my teens I used to have Bovril on toast after a night out, fondly known as 'oil slick on toast'. I can't stand it now, except when I go to a Blues game (which is ... actually... never, anymore!). Cowin' Bovril - anyone remember that Jasper Carrott 'sketch'?

HotelEuphoria · 17/05/2017 21:28

Oh ffs get a grip. White toast, Lurpak and Marmite, heaven sent. I never eat breakfast but if I rarely do when I have a hangover I eat this wonderful food and I am well again.

Even better when cut into soldiers and dipped into a soft boiled egg.

I wish I hadnt just eaten steak, sweet potato fries and peas.

anotherpoisonprince · 17/05/2017 21:30

Yep DLTB.
How fucking dare he breed with you whilst you were unaware of his pecadillo foible ways.

Bubblesagain · 17/05/2017 21:32

Yabvvvvvu nothing better then hot toast with butter and marmite on.
I think he should be the one leaving you, you non marmite eating weirdo GrinGrinGrinWink

SeamstressfromTreacleMineRoad · 17/05/2017 21:34

I'm sorry OP, but if he isn't man enough to eat the proper thing - Bovril - I'd LTB Grin

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 17/05/2017 21:36

Oh, god I want some marmite now.

PolarBearGoingSomewhere · 17/05/2017 21:36

My dad did similar once, we were in the pub and the fishmonger came round, he bought 16 crab sticks and sat there eating them.

My mum said "We've been married 25 years and I never knew you liked crab sticks" he just said "Still waters run deep" and carried on eating them then made her put the remaining 3 or 4 in her handbag.

hashtagcurious · 17/05/2017 21:37

Is this for real?

Storminateapot · 17/05/2017 21:38

DH offered to make me some breakfast at the weekend. I asked for toast & marmalade. Imagine my surprise when what appeared to be a really mean spread of marmalade turned out to be marmite on biting into it.

Luckily I love toast & marmite but hadn't eaten any for ages, it's given me a real taste for it again. Mmmmm

MusicToMyEars800 · 17/05/2017 21:40

Grin YABU!! both me and my OH love it, I love it more though, I have it almost every day!

Booshbeesh · 17/05/2017 21:41

Marmite really IS the nectar of the gods.

Cheese and marmite sandwich. It's like eatin a slice of heaven with every bite.
Let him have his heaven. Your clearly the makings of satan

Fartootiredtobeawake · 17/05/2017 21:44

HotelEuphoria and Bubblesgain that how he has it, thick white bread toasted then when it is still hot butter and marmite. It made the kitchen smell. I had to spray it (the kitchen, not the toast).

If he has to have such a dirty secret, he could have eaten it when I wasn't in.

I really thought after 20 years with someone I would know them pretty well.

I really want a cheese and marmite toastie now Sad

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/05/2017 21:47

Just had some marmite on toast and it was fucking lush.

YABU, if anyone should LTB its him, as you are clearly in the wrong and creating an issue here where there is none for the rest of the family.

Fartootiredtobeawake · 17/05/2017 21:48

PolarBear, the fact that he made your Mum put some in her handbag!

Flipping hell, I hope OH doesn't like crab sticks too.
