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?

SomeOtherFuckers, his family seem so nice and normal.

I feel like running for the hills with DD to protect her from this depravity. Surely it is a sickness?

JustAnotherPoster, he once told me that he and his friends threw cow pats at each other, maybe he ate them?

YABVVVU. Marmite rocks. It's essential to feed it to DC early, otherwise they may grow up with stunted taste buds and not realize how delicious it is.

MycatsaPirate · 17/05/2017 23:01

YABU.

I feel sorry for your DH. You leave him and his marmite alone.

Tell him to join mn so we can tell him to get his ducks and marmite in a row and he can leave you instead.

Pah!

I'd rather eat cow pats than Marmite.

Nope as pps have rightly said Bovril is the only delicious black spread all others must prompt a LTB Grin

He is being unreasonable to buy actual Marmite, Tescos yeast extract is by far the best, it's runnier and not as sour tasting, I was so sad when it was discontinued, but now they've brought it back! Grin Sainsbury's yeast extract is also acceptable, but I've never tried Asda's.

My 86 year old Grandpa has a mug of hot Bovril or Marmite every night before bed. He says it's the secret to a long and healthy life!

anotherpoisonprince · 17/05/2017 23:47

I am desperately craving Marmite on toast now.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 17/05/2017 23:51

Shock Are you sure your DD is....actually yours??

Benedikte2 · 18/05/2017 00:13

Hassled: there is definitely a difference between Vegemite and Marmite.
I dislike Marmite but love Vegemite. Marmite has an unpleasant aftertaste. Your DH knows what he is talking about

As a former addict, perhaps I can help. You have to understand, it's an illness. There are support groups for the families of those affected, and counseling will help - although be prepared for the journey to be a long and difficult one Flowers

she says as she leaves work early for the several slices of marmite on toast that's waiting at home

Change the locks, clean out the bank accounts, and send everyone in his contact list on his phone a text explaining what he's done. YANBU.

HotelEuphoria We appear to have exact same tastes in food, even down to your steak with sweet potato fries Grin

OH this has just reminded me DP finished off my marmite this morning Angry will have to put a very large jar in my shopping Grin

Your husband should leave you.

Marmite rules

It was DH's turn to take DD to pre school today, as I left for work at the crack of dawn.

He kindly texted me that she quite happily ate a whole flipping slice of marmite on toast. I'm thinking of accidentally throwing it in the bin, then feigning innocence when he asks for it.

You can get Marmite crisps last time I checked... don't let him near Tesco!

yawning801 · 18/05/2017 17:33

It depends on whether your relationship is stronger than the taste of Marmite.

If it isn't, LTB! Grin

TheWhiteRoseOfYork · 18/05/2017 18:02

The Marmite kiss. Uggh, I cannot say emphasise that strongly enough, just UGGH!
