Name changed for this as It's extremely outing! because It's bizarre, mainly Pom bears, Mexican House Thief, Penis Beaker etc.

So I currently live with my ex partner. This is recent-I moved back in with him to save money in order to buy a house (obviously I can't do that for now Sad ).

We get on okay, but he was a terrible partner when I was with him.
Heavy drink problem (which he managed to keep secret for far too long!), lies, unable to manage finances, a whole barrage of dishonesty about his circumstances. It was horrible, so many tears and sleepless nights on my part as I'd really thought he was for me before then, but it was years ago and I have grown up a lot now.

This definitely bears some relevance to how I treat him now though. I don't have much respect for him admittedly as it took me a long time to rebuild my life when we broke up some years ago. I'm not horrible to him or anything but I am not overly nice. Had I done this to anyone else I'd have been mortified, ad definitely confessed and paid for damages.

We both own the house together.

Some time ago I was baking a cake. I didn't realise the flour had gone off, so the cake was inedible. I decided to chuck it out for the birds.

Amongst other twatty things my ex had done, he built a HUGE outhouse/outbuilding in the garden. I'd previously had the garden lovely albeit small and he built this thing which takes up about 90% of the garden. It's massive. I decided to chuck the cake on top of it.

But it broke the (corrugated plastic) roof of the structure. It made a hole in it.

This was a month or so ago and he has only just noticed. He came into my room this morning holding a hammer and said 'Whose is this hammer?!' I said I don't know, not mine? And he said he thought someone had thrown it into the garden and this is what has broken the roof. He wants to report it to the police as well.

He is not overly upset about it, and has fixed the hole now.

I kind of want to confess because I don't want him wasting police time.

I kind of don't though.

Would you? Honestly?

YANBU -Don't confess, no point and he's a knobhead anyway
YABU-Confess, It's the correct thing to do.

Was it a rock bun?

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 04/04/2020 19:21

Don't confess. Plead ignorance. 😂

sonypony · 04/04/2020 19:24

Police aren't investigating smaller crimes at the moment and to be fair he only asked if his own hammer is actually yours, to which you honestly replied no.

Distressingtimes · 04/04/2020 19:24

I don’t think out of date flour was responsible for your cake being like a brick🤣

Seriously, the police have enough to do. If he is likely to report it you will have to come clean.

CakeHoleinRoof · 04/04/2020 19:24

demented no it was a vanilla sponge. :)

I will answer any other questions asked of me about this, no problem!

Make another cake and feed it too him he deserves your baking 😂

Eddielzzard · 04/04/2020 19:26

Wide eyed innocence. But distract him if looks as if he's about to report it.

Escapeistheonlyoption · 04/04/2020 19:26

The flour had gone off?

CakeHoleinRoof · 04/04/2020 19:27

sony true, that thing about the hammer-It's his! It must be, he's the one who built the monstrosity building and put everything in it, nobody else goes in there!

Distressing No, I think that's my incredible baking skills Grin it was a very heavy, sticky type of cake. I might try to discourage him from telling the police anyway.

CakeHoleinRoof · 04/04/2020 19:29

infinite he LOVES my cakes!

Escape yes. Sad it was white flour but had flecks of brown in it. I didn't think much of it until I tasted some bread rolls I'd made at the same time as the cake, and they were minging!

MitziK · 04/04/2020 19:29

You mean he hasn't found the giant slab of concrete inside yet?

The hammer must have been what the mice used to eat it, then.

Rainbowunicat · 04/04/2020 19:30

No, but discourage him from reporting it! And don't bake anymore Grin

TheMandalorian · 04/04/2020 19:32

What a tool.

AwkwardAsAllGetout · 04/04/2020 19:34

Sorry op but this made me howl. Just what I needed today Grin don’t ever admit what you’ve done Cake

CakeHoleinRoof · 04/04/2020 19:37

Twiggy71 · 04/04/2020 19:44

I take it you threw the cake on the roof for the birds to eat?
I hope that was the idea behind it Grin[
Don't let on you threw it up there, here have some cake Cake

DameFanny · 04/04/2020 19:46

Are you in fact a Discworld dwarf baker OP?

What happened to the cake of Doom anyway?

GaraMedouar · 04/04/2020 19:46

😂 - I’ve had a shit day - this has really made me laugh - brilliant! Don’t confess!

Windyatthebeach · 04/04/2020 19:47

Suggest he builds a patio instead...
We will give you an alibi op...
Wink

CakeHoleinRoof · 04/04/2020 19:49

Twiggy yes! There's no other room in the garden now Sad tiny bit of pathway down the side, so it was there or nowhere.

Dame I don't know what that is, maybe?!

I scuttled outside and retrieved it (by standing on a wheely bin) once I realised what I'd done. I wasn't for leaving evidence lying about.

Gara I am really glad this is making people laugh. I was worried it would seem made up, I know I can't prove it, but I promise It's 100% truth! lol

white flour but had flecks of brown in it

Depending on size they could be Flour Weevils or Mouse Droppings ........... Envy not envy .

TwistyHair · 04/04/2020 19:52

Where is the cake now?? Didn’t he see the cake on the floor?
