It's about so much more than the fucking cupcake

NC but a regular poster

I went out today, by myself! A rare occurrence with 2 small children but nevertheless I went out and DH stayed at home with the kids

Having done a bit of shopping (all stuff for the kids and an impromptu purchase of an item of clothing for DH) I decided to treat myself to a cupcake from a posh bakery-it's one of those that is enormous and is literally baked diabetes but being a rare thing I thought I'd get one....I had visions of getting home, sitting down with a cuppa after the kids had gone to bed, and tucking in to the delicious cakey goodness
DH does not like cakes, he doesn't like cupcakes, but I text him anyway to check just in case but no, he did not want one.

Reader, I think you probably know what's coming next...

Kids are in bed, and downstairs I come to find a scene of crumby destruction in front of me. Half the cupcake has gone.
When questioned, he said he 'thought it was leftover because I thought you ate yours when you were out'
I said to him 'You don't even like cupcakes'
And do you know what the bastard said?
'That's why I only ate half'

THATS. WHY. I. ONLY. ATE. HALF.

I have now been accused of making a big deal about it, but in eating half that cupcake I almost feel like he has dropped another crumb on what is a growing pile of moudly yeasty smelly grot.

Sort of lighthearted....but also sort of not

AIBU?

@MyHeadOverfloweth

I'm actually half tempted to just return the item of clothing I bought for him, and when he asks just say 'oh I thought you didn't want it'
Do. It. Do it, do it, do it, do it. He sounds like a selfish twat.

Can you send him out tomorrow to buy you another? It's not as if it's house groceries. He should've asked the selfish fucker

@lottiegarbanzo

It is very 'me the man, my house, my food' behaviour.

Next time, enjoy your lovely treat while you're out and come back with a satisfied smile on your face OP!

not bringing the treat home is not going to solve the real issue though, I don't think?

same with asking him to replace the cake or returning the shirt OP bought for him. None of these actions would change the fact this is the sort of person he is, he is not a decent person.
