AIBU to think that if I purchase myself a delicious and fatty treat

[SecretSantaaaaaa]

I should expect it find it still in the fridge when I return home?!

I had been looking forward to it all day but DP ate mine. I had bought 2 , one for us each. DP had theirs Sunday night and scoffed mine last night before I had got home and cooked us dinner!

I think I overreacted (telling them not to bother apologising as its clearly empy words given that this isn't the first time it's happened) and now I feel bad.

I don't ask for much after a long hard day!!

Anyone else's partner a greedy, selfish bastard?

(This is kind of light hearted, I love DP really)

He or she should be told straight and needs to replace it.

Bloody hell Cherry hope you are healed now, sounds like an awful time for you, and a greedy disrespectful partner does not help matters.
OP, ltb. It’s the only option.

That's utterly shit. I have to hide food from my husband, which is ridiculous. He is overweight and has no self control around food. I'd be very angry.

Does he ever think of you? This is not acceptable. I'd be making him some birdseed fatally to eat the greedy bastard.

*fatballs

I don't know. Half of me feels this is funny and 'ooo, what is he like' but the other half feels this shows a disrespect and selfishness that is deeply unappealing.

YABU for not eating it the minute day you bought it.

No sympathy.

Agree with others that, whilst you've said you're being lighthearted, it's just disrespectful and selfish behaviour from him. If something isn't yours, particularly if there's only one of it, you ask before you take it. Basic social manners. And I think you're right, if he's done it before and apologised and just does it again then the apology is worthless because he clearly isn't sorry.

My god cherrytree please say you left him!

Oyster

Patio the bastard 😂😂😂

Genius. You have invented a new verb!

Buy two and eat them both in front of him.

I hope you've made her go and buy you two today?

I'm always wary of replying to threads where the gender of the (in this case, filthy perpetrator) other party is obscured.

There's always a few pages of posters assuming they're male or female and then a stern telling off and a "it's interesting you assumed they were he/she..." comment.

Anyway. Yanbu. DH ate the last Jamaican patty that was MINE for breakfast this morning and I'm preparing the patio as we speak.

It's rude! Can't say I have a perfect track record but will ask if I can have something that's around. Also you probably said it was yours so he deliberately nicked it. It's cheeky

This is definitely a patio job semi lighthearted

Get yourself a takeaway tonight and make your partner have beans on toast

My dad used to be the same and still can be on occasion. Leftovers mum was keeping for later, all used to go, no matter what it was but fattier the better. I know you can get locks for ice cream tubs, not sure about other locking containers you can put in the fridge, but you'd have thought someone would have come up with a decent one by now.

Total greed. Get some laxatives to put in next time.

You need one of these

Seriously though, some people are just greedy, selfish fuckers with no self control.

Good grief Cherry he sounds positively evil. Hope he’s an ex.

There was a similar but more serious thread on here a while ago where the OP had hidden some special chocolate (or was it chocolate belonging to the kids?) and her ‘D’P tore the house apart looking for it when the OP wouldnt be at home, found it and ate it. Lots of theories put forward about why he was such a greedy bastard (including that it must be because he went to boarding school ) but the general upshot was that the OP should LTB because he was a selfish arsehole with no thought for anyone else other than his own needs.

I know what yo have posted is a little more light hearted in tone than that thread where the OP was raging, bewildered and heartbroken but does this speak to a deeper pattern of behaviour?

I'm the kind of person who can open a box of chocolates, have a couple and walk away for a day or so.

DH is the kind of person who has to finish the box all in one sitting.

After 20 years I have accepted that if a box of chocolates gets opened, realistically I am not going to get even close to half of them.

But, if there are two of something and they're quite clearly intended to be one each, DH would never in a million years eat them both !! Who on earth does that

Are DP your parents in this instance? I’m a bit confused how many people are in the story, given that you refer to them /their but then talk about one eclair each.

My parents wouldn’t rummage around in the fridge helping themselves at all.

My husband has an annoying habit of using up the last of something (general household food rather than treats), not adding it to the shopping order, then being surprised when we don’t have any the next week. He wouldn’t deliberately eat my treat knowing full well he’d eaten his own, he has some respect for my feelings. Even the children would check first, unless they knew a particular food item had been bought specifically for them.

I’m gobsmacked by @cherrytree63 ‘s post- it’s hard to comprehend how someone could be such an utter unfeeling bastard to their loved one while she recovered from major surgery.

Sounds like your DP is a delicious-and-fatty-treat addict. Get him into a rehab programme ASAP if you ever want to enjoy a treat again.

What was it?

Make him go out right this second and replace both but eat both.

To be honest, I think most people would be annoyed by this. It's a bit of a shitty selfish thing to do. Make them buy you another one.
