(D)H ate all the cake!

So fuming atm, there was a lovely chocolate cake on the side from when my grandparents came over (only 1 slice had been eaten, by my nan). I said to him last night that he could have a bit after dinner if he wanted. This morning I go to grab some to take as a snack for work (we are tight on money this month so all I've got is a peanut butter sandwich otherwise) and find he's eaten the whole thing! He ate a load last night and this morning apparently.

AIBU to be fuming with him? I told him I'm upset and he said he doesn't see the problem.

He would have known
He’d eaten the whole thing and not left you any. Rather selfish. Why didn’t he leave you any?

LoisCommonDenominator84 · 20/08/2018 08:06

Miss Trunchbull made him do it.

Fireworks91 · 20/08/2018 08:06

I love cake, but even so...he ate a whole cake bar one slice? He didn't leave any? Selfish arse.

SleepFreeZone · 20/08/2018 08:06

How could you eat a whole bloody cake in that way? That’s odd behaviour OP!

PowerPlayed · 20/08/2018 08:08

Selfish but why are you telling him he can "have a bit" was it your cake?

NoProbLlama78 · 20/08/2018 08:09

buy yourself a nice cake at lunch time and lock away any future cakes.
yabu for making me want cake

What a greedy pig

BossWitch · 20/08/2018 08:12

Selfish and a bit twatty. My dh sometimes does stuff like this (though not to the extent of a whole cake!). He definitely has food issues - he will binge eat when no-one's looking. Was this a one off or part of a pattern?

Returnofthesmileybar · 20/08/2018 08:13

It's greedy as fuck and would really piss me off but so would being told I can have a bit after dinner when I am a grown adult, that is very odd! I can't decide did he eat it all to rebel against his mother or did you say it cause he has form for being a great bastard

Fuckedoffat48b · 20/08/2018 08:15

How big was the cake? And was it a loaf cake or a great big round iced one?

Shoxfordian · 20/08/2018 08:16

It is selfish to eat a whole cake like that

IWantMyHatBack · 20/08/2018 08:19

The greedy fucker ate almost an entire cake and 'doesn't see the problem'?

Selfish greedy git

DoJo · 20/08/2018 08:27

For those picking up on the OP saying her husband could have a bit of cake- how do you suggest she draws his attention to the available cake if that wording is so objectionable? I also can't believe that anyone can justify eating an entire cake as an act of rebellion, even though it will deprive their partner of food the next day.

This poem by Michael Rosen came to mind.

FullMetalRabbit · 20/08/2018 08:28

Selfish and greedy

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/08/2018 08:29

PowerPlayed saying he can have a bit because he said he was hungry still after dinner so I said "A bit" rather than "the whole lot". Maybe IABU for not clearing stating I meant for him to save me some

iwantacampervan that poem is perfect!

Quartz2208 · 20/08/2018 08:34

No one should have to state please dont eat a whole cake and make sure you leave me a bit

PleaseLetItBeNapTime · 20/08/2018 08:36

My DH does things like this some times - he can be really selfish and greedy when it comes to food. YANBU?

Is your DH and only child by any chance? Mine is and whilst I’m not saying this is an issue all only children have, my DH doesn’t understand how to share. He doesn’t get that if there’s four people for dinner and theres 12 roast potatoes on the table that means 3 each- he just sees it as you take what ever you want and having dinner at his parents house I see that they let him get away with things like that.

morningconstitutional2017 · 20/08/2018 08:37

When you said that he could have 'a bit' you didn't mean for him to take it all. Selfish man. He should have realised that the cake was for both of you.

If he doesn't placate you by getting you a piece of cake as a peace offering then he thoroughly deserves the silent treatment.

A man who comes between a woman and her cake is really pushing it. I'm not one for physical violence, but really.

Tiredofit · 20/08/2018 08:39

Even my greedy teenagers know that the last bit of cake is mine unless I say otherwise. That's not good.

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 20/08/2018 08:40

I hope he feels sick!
