DH keeps eating my snacks!

Lighthearted ish.

I've just had a little grumble at DH which felt justified at the time but now I think I might be BU.

We have a treats/snacks bit in the cupboard, things like crisps and chocolate. While we do share, I have particular favourites and so does he. I never touch his, but lately he's started eating some or all of mine before I get in, then opening his later knowing full well I won't eat his.

Tonight I've gone for a snack and found he's eaten what I was looking forward to as a bad-day treat, leaving his untouched for later. He's even left the wrapper in the cupboard.

Would I BU to kill him have a word? It sounds so petty but it's driving me mad!

Just eat his.

WibblyWobblyWonder · 13/11/2019 19:26

Clearly you should chop his balls off with rusty scissors

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 13/11/2019 19:26

LTB
OR perhaps less drastically tell him how you feel and out yours in a different tub with a mousetrap inside in case he tries anything.

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 13/11/2019 19:26

Put his in the bin, out the wrappers first though

Jollitwiglet · 13/11/2019 19:27

He put the empty wrapper in the cupboard?

I'll provide the shovel and the alibi.

On a more serious note, tell him to stop being a pig. My husband has only ever done this to me once. He died a little bit inside when I took his and opened the wrapper and emptied the contents into the bin

Coconutbug · 13/11/2019 19:28

My husband is like this - well more just eating anything that's avaliable. Even if I buy treat size stuff he will eat 4 or 5. I have hiding places that he doesn't know about now

Jollitwiglet · 13/11/2019 19:28

Great minds think alike Grin

If you do all the shopping, only buy (plenty of) the ones you prefer. Smile

Morghulis · 13/11/2019 19:29

We have a rule in our house where my DH is allowed to eat whichever snacks he wants but he always has to leave at least one of something for me. That way if I’m really in the mood for something particular then I can avoid the disappointment (and rage) of him eating them all.

Vulpine · 13/11/2019 19:31

Yes just get more much more of what you like?! Lifes too short etc

Newbie1999 · 13/11/2019 19:34

I would lose. My. Shit.

BigFatLiar · 13/11/2019 19:36

Send him out for more.

cheeseislife8 · 13/11/2019 19:37

I love the mousetrap idea!

He's gone to Tesco! Grin

You need to find some snacks he doesn't like Wink

steff13 · 13/11/2019 19:39

YABU to kill him. YANBU to insist he goes to the store ASAP and buy replacements.

Oblomov19 · 13/11/2019 19:39

Just tell him!

A very rare moment of appreciating getting divorced

Sexnotgender · 13/11/2019 19:41

That’s shit. YANBU.

billy1966 · 13/11/2019 19:49

I'm with the shovel and alibi suggestion👍.

However, because I have several stash spots that are quite devious 😉, this will never be a problem in this house😁

Pilot12 · 13/11/2019 19:50

Start storing your snacks somewhere else and don't let him find out where it is!

Brefugee · 13/11/2019 19:51

who does the shopping? Don't buy any snacks for him...

Chickenwing · 13/11/2019 19:52

What was the snack in question?!?!?!?

cheeseislife8 · 13/11/2019 19:53

Stash spots is the way forward!

That and only buying stuff he doesn't like. Though I think me bellowing "Mumsnet agrees that you need to STOP EATING MY FUCKING STUFF!" may have also helped

Just eat your snack stealing dh , it's the only way to deal with it Grin

cacklingmags · 13/11/2019 20:12

Hide your stash. And squash his.
