I need to LTB over a chip

Tonight, I made a slap up meal of macaroni cheese and chips for me, and Chinese chicken curry and chips for DH. Classy stuff.

I rarely treat myself to this, and made a slap up cheese sauce with 3 types of cheese, plenty of mustard and lots of pepper. I piled the macaroni cheese over the chips - the Luxe ones from Lidl, huge things, really good - and savoured my dinner.

DH went for seconds and finished this while I was still enjoying my plate.

As I turned away from my plate for 2 seconds, the greedy b*stard he stole my last chip. I'd been saving it as it was the best one of them all.

And he didn't even enjoy it, as it was covered in cheese sauce.

Obviously, I need to start divorce proceedings. AIBU?

Definitely a fork in the leg sort of a crime. (Think Jack Bauer interrogating someone in 24)

This is theft and you need to take action now. Log this with the police urgently. I suspect this is not the first time he's stolen from you?
Utter disrespect - if you were a man he wouldn't dream of reaching over to have a cheesy sauce chip.
He's got zero respect for you OP and from the sounds of it this carb loving thief needs a good wake up call in a police cell overnight.

Very controlling behaviour OP. Defo LTB.

Anyone else hearing Ross from Friends hollering 'MY CHIP"?

AlexaAmbidextra · 19/03/2018 22:05

My ExH once took my last roast potato. The extra golden, crispy one that I'd been saving. I nearly stabbed the fucker in the throat. In fact, I wish I had. Angry

Fuckin bury the bastard

Shockthat is definitely a patio offence!!!!

Karma had bitten him in the arse. He's put his back out tonight and is hobbling and yelping. Limited sympathy. I've given him painkillers and mild assistance to get to bed

Happy to have inspired others for my gourmet meal. The cheeses were sharp cheddar, mozzarella and gouda. Yum.

My dad stole my last chip when I was 6. I remind him regularly that I remember, and haven't forgotten close to 40 years later.

Divorce him. It's better than a future full of bitterness and anger. Take it from someone who knows.

StripySocksAndDocs · 19/03/2018 22:36

Honestly, missed a trick there. You should have put the painkillers on the table, then taken them yourself, then informed him they were the last ones.

Onlyoldontheoutside · 19/03/2018 23:44

It seems that you both want different things,he steals from you then hurts his back to make it all about him.
This needs nipping in the bud or he will have your Easter chocolate when you least expect it..

AnnieAnoniMouse · 19/03/2018 23:53

...and people say there’s no such thing as karma!

Wait until the garden thaws a bit, in the meantime get those diy bits & pieces up to date!

UpstartCrow · 19/03/2018 23:56

You put sweaty sock cheese in your sauce? Well there's a massive drip feed, you have lost all my sympathy.

I hope he fed your manky chip to the dog.

ItsAllABitStrangeReally · 20/03/2018 00:48

I'll kill the fucker for you Angry

ElderflowerWaterIsDelish · 20/03/2018 01:00

Op you have to share the recipe with us for that, it sounds delicious...also make enough for the both of you plus and extra portion so there are plenty of extras left over for dh to help himself to and your chips remain safe WinkGrin

MrsCrabbyTree · 20/03/2018 01:08

Facebook post warning family and friends that your DH cannot be trusted around food. Embarrass the shit out of him.

PyongyangKipperbang · 20/03/2018 01:26

Can somone post a recipe?

Mac Cheese for me is macaroni with cheese sauce. I use cheddar and parmesan but it really is just ethe same sauce you have with cauli for example. But when I have had it out it has been sort of sticker and shinier (hard to describe!) and I cant find a recipe that does that.

Howdoyoudressforthisweather · 20/03/2018 02:03

OP you need to realise what controlling behaviour this is. Do you have somewhere else you can go? Make sure you get your ducks in a row and copies of his bank statements. I bet he is stealing chips from some other woman too. Can you gather further evidence ? Maybe talk to someone in RL? Most importantly lawyer up and take him for every last chip (literally)

(Thank you this has made me smile as I'm currently recovering from severe gastro...)

Unicornsandrainbows3 · 20/03/2018 02:29

Pack his bags and change the locks!

Hueandcry · 20/03/2018 02:38

Yabvvvvvu for using the words slap up Angry

Your Mac n Cheese sounds yummy though
