To be f***** off by DP food waste?!?!?

[MrDarcyWillBeMine]

So I’ll start by saying this- DP is generally wonderful! Could not knock him for anything else.

However, last night he treated himself to a pizza meal (expensive branded one)

Comes with two large pizzas and sides! (Not a rare occurance - about 1-2 a month but he’s otherwise very healthy)

I had 1 piece as not a huge fan!
General agreement is that he stash uneaten leftovers in the fridge to snack on for a few days! He’s really bad for not doing this!

I usually do it but as he’s been on nights I went to bed long before him and said ‘make sure you fridge the leftovers’

Came down this morning to an entire large pizza and 1/4 of another large pizza
A- uncovered
B- on the coffee table
😡

I told him last night that our resolution this year would be to cut down on waste! I HATE IT! I grew up (happy) but poor, in a house that didn’t waste food!

Yes I occasionally throw away old bits of half used food/ scraps from plates and any peels/left over fruit/veg gets thrown on the garden - but DP grew up rather wealthy and (in my opinion) a bit wasteful!

Whole pizzas!!! (3 tubs of humous got thrown this morning too as way over date) when we met he would actively ignore fridge food that needed eating in favour of take aways and then throw the fridge food out as was too out of date (he will eat things a few days over but not more than a week) he has got ALOT better since then!

Just before Christmas I had to throw a full £7 MnS lasagne as he kept saying he was going to have it the next day (so I didn’t eat it) then finally said ‘no it’s too far gone now bin it’

😡😡😡

It’s SUCH A WASTE!!! He doesn’t seem to feel it like I do!

AIBU to be annoyed by this?

But agree that if it's a consistent habit food waste is inexcusable and immoral. My BIL and wife regularly over order for my nieces when we eat out for family gatherings and most of it doesn't get eaten. I sometimes think it's a deliberate attempt to once again show us they are "considerably more well off than yow" to us and can afford it

Maybe a list of the Seven Deadly Sins on the fridge door, with gluttony and sloth highlighted? But I suspect you would not be popular ;-)

If he’s generally wonderful and you couldn’t knock anything else he does then I’d cut him some slack. If this was my only flaw I’d be pretty pissed off by the level of annoyance you’ve worked yourself up to over this. I agree food waste is annoying but I have many many flaws and my husband doesn’t make a fuss over any of it and I’m trying to replicate this back to him as he’s always been a grade A star and esp since we’ve had a child. Ps I would also take issue at being told what “our” resolution was.
