He ate my left overs! I thought I knew him well...

We had a curry last night, I saved some for after work. He had the day off and stayed home with the baby.

During this time at home he decided that my curry was fair game..

My curry that I left the house thinking about, my curry that got me through the day of working in retail, the curry that I thought I was coming home to.

I had a baby to this.... animal! I do believe this is a deal breaker, AIBU?!

Mine ate my double Gloucester and chive slices that I got on the Ocado order specifically to make cheats toasties with. I was looking forward to that toastie all day Sunday, went to the fridge and couldn't find the cheese - asked if he knew where it was and he said "the packaging is in the bin, so..." Angry

I was not impressed. I am considering printing out little photos of his face covered in a red circle and crossed through (a bit like the Ghostbusters logo but with his mug on it) and sticking them to my food.

It's actually disturbing to read the amount of pure fuckery we get from our dh's scoffing OUR food!!!
I'm going to get a chocolate raisin box and fill it with rabbit droppings and leave it in the cupboard........ see if the bastard steals sweets after that Grin

A few years ago I was staying at my dad's (who kept chickens) One day I made a lovely lasagne.. The next day I caught him giving the left overs (half of what I made at least) to his bloody chickens! AngryAngry

When we were first married I spent an afternoon making soup from scratch. We had some with dinner, then my husband cleared up. Later that evening we took the dog for a nice long walk. It was cold so I suggested some more soup to warm up with when we got home, husband agrees it's a good idea. Got home, went into the kitchen, can't find the soup. Shout to husband, he's only thrown it out as he didn't know you could keep leftover soup...

Then the realization the sod expected me to make soup from scratch at 9:30 at night. We had words.

HE ATE YOUR SANDWICH CURRY???

DH has done this and complained about how it wasn't that good!
I now have to put a specific note on food I want kept -which he does respect.

TartanDMs · 25/07/2017 19:57

The only reason DH isn't in a bodybag right now is that he has just come out of hospital and wasn't here when I ordered the cheese, so may have mistakenly believed it was fair game. His pneumonia has given him a free pass this time but woe betide if he does it again.

bettytaghetti · 25/07/2017 20:12

Am totally gutted for you OP. I still haven't got over the Christmas 1988 incident when someone threw away my portion of mum's legendary leftover turkey curry. It was so good but I was full, so I thought I'd save it for later. BIG mistake.
I blame my current weight situation on this particular incident as I now make sure I finish anything really tasty before anyone can nab it!

WashBasketsAreUs · 26/07/2017 10:54

The wispa incident has not been repeated, I can assure you! What's even more annoying, I get him a 4 pack of double deckers , which I don't like so he'd eaten all his chocolate then ate mine!

I'm going to buy some galaxy chocolate for him but eat it before he can.

He will then understand my pain.

I fear I did this with my DHs leftover lamb bhuna the other day ...

To be fair he had forgotten about it and it really needed eating ...

Betsy86 · 26/07/2017 12:34

Revenge. Its the only way forward. Wait a couple of weeks so he thinks your over it. Then revenge.

ItsNachoCheese · 26/07/2017 12:38

Ltb what a curry stealing arse he is. Im so glad im single for this very reason Grin

Theonethingididntwant · 26/07/2017 12:41

I think one of the biggest arguments I've ever had with DP is him eating my tofiffee... and then saying "I didn't really want it but it was there"...

I'm not going to say LTB though. You should start planning where you're going to hide the body instead. Do you have any plans for a nice new patio in the garden?

ZippyCameBack · 26/07/2017 12:43

Kill him. Kill him dead.

(only kidding, obvs, but I'd feel obliged to make his life really miserable for at least a day).

I live next door to a church which has a grave yard that hasn't been used since the 1800's. I have a place for his body Grin

I was away with friends once, ordered takeaway and there was far too much. Woke up next morning looking forward to leftovers for breakfast and found it all in the bin ..... nearly cried and pretty sure I started a thread on here.

Cadsuane · 26/07/2017 13:17

You see this is the advantage of living with a family of fussy eaters! My stuff is safe!

Twistmeandturnme · 26/07/2017 13:29

OP you have my sympathies: don't LTB: you can have fun torturing him in small ways for weeks without him even noticing.

But Essie OMG. Half a giant turkey? I'd have held her down and inserted stuffing balls into every orifice until she coughed up £50 for you get a bargain turkey so you could have all the sandwiches your hearts desired.

waitforitfdear · 26/07/2017 13:34

I feel your pain as had two teenage sons and dds!

Enough said. Hide hide hide your food.

HelenaJustina · 26/07/2017 13:52

My DDad ate my Mum's chocolate profiteroles whilst her back was turned... at their wedding breakfast! How she didn't immediately seek an annulment I will never know, but it does still come up occasionally 30+ years later!
