DH was hungry and I decided to make some chicken wraps with lettuce and mayo as a snack because we were about to get a takeaway later on. I told him there was only two tortilla wraps, me and DS would share one and DH could have the other one. He then says he had nothing to eat all day and he was hungry, and then I said so you want both wraps then? And he’s like whatever. Clearly he was upset about it and I thought to myself wow, how selfish is that! He wanted to eat it all while leaving me and DS sitting there hungry 😒
He thinks of nothing eating food in front of the DC without giving them anything, they will literally sit there and look at him eating. I share everything with my DC, anything I eat they eat, when serving food I’ll always give people the best piece of meat, best piece of everything while I eat what’s left. Even if it’s a few scraps of food.
So what’s the most selfish thing your DH/DP has done?
AIBU?

Yes, he's greedy and selfish.
My DH doesn't 'share' food either. If dinner is not prepared for him (by me, for everyone) , he will prepare food for himself only.
When the DC are out, I will often just make myself something to spite him and the look on his face says it all. 
TiredMum - What? How do you put up with that?
Yep, he's annoying & selfish! 
He'll happily cook for one (himself) so when the DCs are out, I do the same (cook for one -me) he doesn't like it one bit.

(STBEx)P is incredibly selfish.
Restricting myself to examples from this week alone:
P was out on Tuesday night for a work thing (free dinner, not actually anything difficult). I was tired so I got takeaway for me and the children.
On Tuesday night DS2 (8) was ill. So I got very little sleep looking after him, and I looked after him the two days he was off school. P complained that his sleep had been (very mildly) disturbed and strongly implied that it was my fault that DS2 was sick because of the takeaway.
On Wednesday I looked after DS2 all day. DS asked for pancakes and bacon for his dinner so I made that. I then had to take DS1 to Beavers (he’s a young leader). P went out for a drink after work so I had to take DS2 out with me to drop DS1 off. P came home and was really grumpy about the pancakes (with bacon and eggs) for dinner. I had to go and cook him the bacon and eggs because he couldn’t possibly be expected to do that himself.
Once he’d finished eating he cans upstairs to tell me that the kitchen needed cleaned. He had left his plate and cutlery on the table. DS1 usually does post-dinner clean up but obviously he was not in the house. I didn’t bother doing it. So he later complained that the kitchen still needed cleaned.
Yesterday P insisted that we had dinner before DS1 got home from college. I usually serve it about 6, so we can all eat together. But P was hungry so he couldn’t possibly wait and had to be fed immediately. He would only have had to wait 15 bloody minutes for it. But why would he put himself out?
Now he’s come in and is passive aggressively complaining that we’re having tapas type things for dinner, including one squid dish and a prawn dish. P hates fish/seafood but the children adore it. There are other things he can eat but he’s pretending that he’s some poor martyr because the entire meal isn’t based around his likes and dislikes.
