To change the locks before my husband gets home?

[checkingforballoons]

My head’s all over the place. I’ll try to keep it brief.
We had a lovely day yesterday - lots of family time, big roast dinner. I made a delicious crumble. DH and I had a bowl each with some ice cream and there was a decent portion left. I covered it over and went to bed.
I’ve got loads of dull work to do from home today but cheered myself up with the thought of a mid morning coffee and the leftover crumble. Got myself a bowl, uncovered the crumble dish and my world fell apart. It was EMPTY. He’s eaten the leftover crumble AND covered it up again.
I just didn’t see this coming. He’s eaten the last Hobnob or something when we were younger but I thought he’d changed.
Has anyone been through similar and managed to make things work?

Say nothing, make crumble again next weekend, pour custard over the leftovers before putting them in the fridge.

Alternatively, mix laxatives in.

Ha ha Gersemi - so evil, but I like it!

Serve him nothing but crumble smothered in custard for the rest of the week. Every meal. And he washed up. He'll be heartily sick of it and never touch the stuff again. That'll learn the bastard. Dirty evil crumble munching bastard.

I don't know what would upset me more - that the gluttonous fucker had eaten MY leftovers or that the lazy bastard had put am EMPTY dish back in the fridge instead of washing it up. Two strikes in one day. There's no going back from such behaviour.

Change the locks and make sure you're hovering near an upstairs window when he gets home. Be sure to aim accordingly and send the empty dish straight at his head!

Thanks for all of the advice and support.
I've calmed down a bit now. I think previous posters are right to say I shouldn't confront him just yet.
I've checked through our recipe books - a Nigella Lawson falls open on the page for her Nutella cheesecake, but I can't be sure that isn't down to me. Nothing else seems out of place. The biscuit tin seems well stocked.
He does pass an M&S on his way home and is always a little too eager to check that we don't need bread or milk. I'll check our accounts for 'two tubs for £4' transactions.
I can't find him on UKCrumbling, Plenty of Crumble or Crumblr, so I suppose that's a good sign?
I think you're all right to say that I've put up with this for too long. I'm on Google searching for a custard themed spa day as we speak. Once the dust (crumble?) has settled I'm going to speak to him about trying baked camembert, for the sake of our marriage. I think his answer will tell me all I need to know.

😆😆😆😆😆😆

Oh and I think that next time you make a crumble, cover the leftovers in custard so he won't touch them. That'll sort him.

A custard facial is what you need.

With a uuuge collection of manbags

I imagine you could work through crumble-gate in time

However

He doesn't like cheese??? How can you ever trust a man who doesn't like cheese!

Definitely LTB

Make another crumble.
Eat all the ice cream with your afternoon cup of tea. and leave the empty tub in the freezer
Serve it with custard.

@RayRayBidet

I suppose I'm just here to make you feel better. By comparison

He's the type when asked if he'd like custard, cream or ice cream in a restaurant to want all 3. This isn't a good sign is it?

No. It means he wants his crumble and eat it too!

Did you pacifically ask her?

Yes, I did. I pacifically asked her where in the Specific she went on her cruise.

I know! We should so go out for a glass of Cardonnay

Okay, SHAR-DONNAY, SHAR-DONNAY, you pack of shunts

@KathDayKnight50
Lol!

Next time you need to make a decoy with some sawdust

I’m sorry this happened to you too FloppyWallop

Perhaps you should have added a warning in your title OP

The crushing pain of that empty dish. I hope you have your ducks in a row.

There are other puds out there, OP. Don't wait around for the few measly crumb(le)s your DH has left for you.

Brett just got a pay rise, I'm super effluent

Have you also got a half share in a unit, a mobile phone and a Hyundai to high-tail it around in?

How is little Epponi Rae doing?

Just like her mother, Kim, she's a biter!

Actually, come to think of it, before you go in all guns blazing OP. Are you SURE it was your DH who stole your crumble?

Could it have been Sharon? She's always doing stuff like that. Eating the last one of everything. She says, "But I never knew" but then she never bloody knows, does Sharon...eat first, ask later that's her.

Eats the crumble, but does he do half the work making the crumble? He needs to do 50/50. You're being taken for a mug op. My dh always does the first half of the recipe, even when he's been working, and leaves me the bigger portion. That's what marriage is.

Awww that's noise, that's unusual Mrs D
