It's about so much more than the fucking cupcake

[MyHeadOverfloweth]

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?

[ColourMeExhausted]

Have my very first LTB! Unless he goes and gets you a replacement (plus one more for interest) NOW.

@Dragongirl10

Under the patio for that...

I'll help

[HaggieMaggie]

This is why I hide my goodies. Pan draw, the warming oven, top of the cupboards, the empty washing machine.....

Nothing is safe..

Not like the most special cupcake in the world I grant you but it was MINE

@Gazelda he ate one side so taking half of the sponge and half of the icing. [/quote]
It . . . it's . . . BEAUTIFUL!

[TorkTorkBam]

Yes, return the clothing.

And while you are out get another cupcake and eat it quietly in your own taking ages over it.

[MarkRuffaloCrumble]

Take back the clothes you bought for him and use the money to buy yourself a whole box of cupcakes - decent sized ones. Not that piddly little one you linked to!

[Shitfuckoh]

I'll bring the spade OP.
He ate half your cupcake!

[mathanxiety]

Yes, do what FOJN said to the item you bought him.

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Why would you have a whole leftover cupcake?!

There is NO SUCH THING as a "leftover" cupcake, as any fule kno.

Is no one else reminded of Matilda and the scene with Miss Trunchbull and Bruce Bogtrotter?

"You slithered like a serpent into the school kitchen and ate MY PERSONAL SNACK!"

Maybe you need to do a Miss T and make him eat a giant cupcake

[Serin]

It happened to me, but with an almond croissant.
2017.
I have forgiven but I will never forget.

[powershowerforanhour]

Urgh. Eating somebody else's special treat food is slightly redeemed if the guilty party grovels, "oh it looked so amazingly good, I tried some and it was so delicious I couldn't help myself, I'm so sorry and will buy you two more tomorrow".

It is made worse by the fucker saying, "Oh it wasn't that nice anyway, in fact I feel a bit sick now, I don't even like them" So why did you shovel it in then?? Meh. Pension off one of his shirts and rip it into cleaning rags then say, "Oh I thought it was worn out and I needed cleaning rags but actually the fabric turned out to be crap for cleaning, so I binned it".

[Soubriquet]

That is really out of order

It’s one thing to eat it if he actually liked it, but to eat the cake even though he didn’t like it is just baffling

[jessstan2]

Defnitely LTB. Better still GTBTL.

[FizzyGreenWater]

Return the item.

Buy him a box of cupcakes for his birthday as one of his 'main' presents.

Look delighted when he opens it. 'But what? I thought you loved cupcakes now... remember when you couldn't keep your hands off mine that one time I bought myself one? Remember, you just helped yourself? You don't like them? Oh. Oh well, me and the kids can eat them.'

[bellie710]

LTB

[Frannibananni]

Did you buy him anything treat wise? I would have eaten half the cupcake too. I don’t like chocolate very much but still eat it because it’s comforting.

[SummerBaby2020]

My blood is boiling for you OP. My OH did something similar with a Marks and Sparks sandwich that I was craving when I was pregnant...... he never got dinner made for 4 days and the nice bottle of wine he was looking forward too that we got with the dine in for 2 went down the sink if I couldn’t have then neither could he

[JJsDinerWaffles]

But - but - you ASKED him if he wanted a cupcake (because you are kind and thoughtful) and he said no. So he KNEW this was no leftover cupcake as he knew you weren’t getting one so he knowingly ate half of what he knew was your special treat.

I am raging! What’s he like the rest of the time?

And btw as I’m sure he didn’t say it - you deserve time to yourself, you deserve a quiet lunch and you DEFINITELY deserve a special cupcake!!

[teraculum29]

It's not about the cupcake, it's what the cupcake represents...

so he basically ruined your nice treat, nice thought of just "me" moment, something after a hard day you needed... because he was selfish and didn't respect your wishes...

he need to replace a cupcake and truly and deeply apologise...

[Dafspunk]

Jesus Christ, it was HB too. What an absolute bastard.

[Iminaglasscaseofemotion]

I would have hocked him to death using the last of the cupcake. What a dickhead!

[Hebitmyboy]

Pig!

[Iminaglasscaseofemotion]

Chocked!
