My friend thinks my husband should divorce me

... For doing this to a block of cheese Grin For some reason my DH gets really wound up when people (usually DD) grate the cheese from the 'wrong' end (ie, an end that isn't already grated). Earlier, I was grating cheese for tea and I had a lightbulb moment and grated every possible end, edge, side, corner and angle on the block of cheese Grin

My friend is horrified and thinks DH should divorce me for so much wrongness Grin

Obviously lighthearted

Good grief.

Cheese murderer...

Knittedfairies · 06/10/2019 17:56

My husband gets all irrational if I break the end off a French stick rather than cutting it; I can't imagine he'd like me leaving the cheese like that..

NorthernSpirit · 06/10/2019 17:57

TBH he should divorce you for such bad taste in cheese.....

Who eats tasteless Red Leicester (which is actually cheddar cheese in it with a red food dye to make it orange in colour)!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/10/2019 17:57

I get very cross is someone breaks the end off a baguette. Very cross.

SconNotScone · 06/10/2019 17:57

Ooh that makes for uncomfortable viewing

22Giraffes · 06/10/2019 18:03

That is just no gouda, I camembert to look at the picture a second longer. I would brie really pissed off with you.
sorry someone had to do it

cheeseislife8 · 06/10/2019 18:03

What kind of monster are you?? I'm horrified at such a flagrant act of vandalism

PerkingFaintly · 06/10/2019 18:04

I actually gasped at that photo!

Yeah, I'd leave you for that.Grin

Sugarplumfairyfartface · 06/10/2019 18:04

Ha! I'm off to do this and also carve my initials in it to "test" the pettiness of this household :)

TheBouquets · 06/10/2019 18:04

My long lost twin!!!!

I would do that just for the hell of it

NurseButtercup · 06/10/2019 18:05

omg you philistine how could you do this to the cheese?

I think your friend should retract the LTB suggestion and offer mediation. The focus of mediation should be suggestions of each person having their own block of cheese, that is appropriately labelled and boundaries should be discussed regarding what happens if you eat all your cheese before your DH.

Lots of Wine and Gin would need to be consumed to aide this mediation session. Grin

You’re a sociopath

PerkingFaintly · 06/10/2019 18:06

I need some Red Leicester therapy right now. Happily, I have some in.

bakesalesally · 06/10/2019 18:07

Oooohhh I just want to run my fingers all over it!

mckenzie · 06/10/2019 18:17

Thank you OP for this thread. You have reminded me what is good about Mumsnet.
I've been reading another thread (about trying to steal a quickie during the day with DCs in the house) and it's made me Shock.

And no, of course he shouldn't divorce you.

You should divorce him and let him marry your friend and then you and your DD can have nightly cheese grating sessions in front of the TV and even leave crumbs in the bag!

Waveysnail · 06/10/2019 18:20

What is wrong with you Grin. Dh makes me slice the gated end so its flat

LookingForward2020 · 06/10/2019 18:28

Your friend is right. YABVVVU

You touched that with your hands and put it back in the fridge. I wouldn’t use that 🤮

Landltara · 06/10/2019 18:28

He should leave and get full custody of the cheese! How could you! ShockShock

thisonebreath · 06/10/2019 18:31

I had a sharp intake of breath when I saw that. It's akin to the people (everyone in my house) who dig lumps out of the butter. ShockHmm

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 06/10/2019 18:32

@NorthernSpirit it's his choice of cheese! I'm an extra mature (cheddar) kind of gal Wink

Good grief, you're an animal!

Bedheadretention · 06/10/2019 18:32

This made my eye twitchWinkGrin

HariboLecter · 06/10/2019 18:33

Surely the only correct way is to grate one end, slice grated end to make it smooth again, eat the sliced off bit?
