To think you don't buy someone chocolate for their birthday then try to eat it?!

I know this is really a non issue but it's my birthday. One of the presents my partner bought me was 2 bars of chocolate. He's just come up and tried to take one of the bars downstairs (I've just come up to watch tv as im 31 weeks pregnant and in a lot of pain so I'm just trying to get comfy).

All I said was "please don't take that!" He said "there's another bar!" So I said "can you take the other one instead as this one's my favourite". He's gone downstairs in a huff calling me ungrateful Confused

As I said I'm aware it's not a big issue (and yes I have many "real" problems to worry about) but come on! And going off in a huff is just deeply unattractive!

He's ungrateful.

Nah that's shit. YANBU.

WhiteDust · 04/07/2019 22:16

He gave you chocolate and took it back? What's wrong with him?
Hope you're feeling ok OP! Buy a ton of the stuff tomorrow and hide it.

Kill him

Not a jury in the land would convict

Never steal someone's chocolate.

Let alone a PREGNANT woman's chocolate that YOU gifted to her!

Grin has he got a death wish

WhiteDust I've no idea! Thank you, it's been a real rough pregnancy, I wasn't expecting it after being so well with my first!

Lol, this is probably the sort of thing I'd do :)

SylviaAndSidney · 04/07/2019 22:20

He's a tight bastard if he's bought you them and then tried to take one! Why present you with both?

Never try to take away chocolate from a woman filled with hormones. Silly man!

Don't share now.

Pop the bars in the freezer, wait until he’s asleep. Repeatedly batter him around the head with the hard bars until you’ve finished him off. Eat the evidence. It’s the least he deserves.

NOT. A serious suggestion before anyone gets upset

YANBU. He could have asked you which one you preferred.

BrylcreamBeret · 04/07/2019 22:25

I have one question op, did your CTBP (chocolate thieving bastard partner) ONLY buy you two bars of chocolate?

I would buy chocolate for my DDad and eat it , but he has diabetes so I'm saving him from himself.

Though he would offer it round anyway .

You're supposed to show your gratitude for the gift by giving it to him? Confused

Apparently! I think it bothered me more because I've only been able to stomach anything I used to enjoy ir even normal meals for around 3 weeks due to horrendous all day sickness!

MsVestibule · 04/07/2019 22:47

It's the calling you 'ungrateful' that I'm a bit bemused about! You're supposed to be grateful that he bought you a present and then took it back Confused???

EKGEMS · 04/07/2019 22:48

It's fucking outrageous a person wants to take and eat your gift why didn't he buy a third bar for himself? Imagine holidays like Halloween and Easter with children they'll have to put sweets in a safe

Jayaywhynot · 04/07/2019 22:50

Hes an arsehole! I was given a big box of lindt chocolates, the balls that melt in your mouth, by a friend for my bday, oh asked if he could have one, absolutely help yourself, he ate the lot. Greedy pig,
