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?

I'd be practicing the 911 call and drafting his "suicide note"

What a cock. Expressing his utter disregard for you, but with sprinkles. I'm sorry.

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 21/09/2020 01:55

Kill the fucker.

I'm currently in a stand off with dp over diet coke gate.

Every week we do the shopping and allocate a fiver each for snacky snacks to be kept in the house and us out of the corner shop.

Dp and ds usually get a couple of beers each and fancy crisps

I always get a ten pack of diet coke and some cheap milky buttons........fine. Except dp seems to think my diet coke is fair game as there's more of it. Angry

So tonight unknown to him I poured both his bottles of beer into the stew I made for dinner. I'm waiting for him to notice.........I call that check fecking mate for the coke guzzling twat.

Mincingfuckdragon2 · 21/09/2020 02:06

He did this on purpose. He didn't want a cake he saw yours and bit into it to ruin it and punish you for having a day out. This was nasty.

Return the shirt, use the money saved to replace your cupcake, and tell him.

Highfalutinlootin · 21/09/2020 02:17

Show him this thread, OP.

blowyernose · 21/09/2020 02:19

OMG I'd be chucking his beer down the sink.... 🤣

@MyHeadOverfloweth return the item of clothing you bought him, especially if the tags haven’t been cut off yet.

MyKingdomforaNameChange · 21/09/2020 07:49

I'm ordering a patio today, which will be laid in the next couple of weeks... Just thought I'd put that out there Wink

Hmm, you have bigger problems than cupcakes. But he didn't even ask before eating a special cupcake? And he had already said he didn't want one? Has he apologised and offered to buy you a new one?

He has no respect for you or your feelings, op. I'm sorry. What are you going to do?

Justice! 😂

Absolutely nobody gets to eat the things I state clearly are just for me, without some form of retribution, that includes my almost 5YO. Grin

The fucker, I'm angry for you. I have to hide my treats in my underwear drawer Blush
LOL! So true.

This is so sad. :( It's not just the cupcake, is it? Sounds like your relationship is over.

MargeProopsSpecs · 21/09/2020 10:38

he bit it

Fucking psychopath.

lottiegarbanzo · 21/09/2020 10:52

@WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo

I think in your case, I'd say that since everyone seems to want diet coke, that becomes a household expense as part of the main shopping and you buy twice as much. You then spend your £5 on something else (or save it, for yourself).

If your shopping budget can't easily absorb the cost of the coke, then that difference comes out of the 'snack budget'. Which, if your DS isn't snaffling the coke, means he keeps his £5 and you and your DH might only get £1 each for treats! But, that's budgeting for you.

UsedUpUsername · 21/09/2020 10:58

My DC has type 1 diabetes and this has absolutely nothing to do with them eating cupcakes

Ummm, your child has type 1. Everyone knows eating complete trash gets you type 2. Big difference.

Get a grip.

ClementineWoolysocks · 21/09/2020 11:11

That's fuckin' diabolical!
I spent a weekend in London with a friend and we shared a hotel room. We'd been to Harrods and I bought myself some lovely fancy chocolates, I woke up in the night to find her scoffing them. Literally just shovelling them in her mouth, not savouring them. When she realised I was watching her she said her blood sugar was low, never apologised or anything. We travelled home the next day and I could barely speak to her.
Treat thieves deserve a special place in hell.

LimpLettice · 21/09/2020 11:11

Oh OP, I've been there. This will totally out me, but is so similar! I'm afraid I'd not be able to let this go.

Ex MIL made us two cakes. Puff pastry affairs with jam, cream and icing. Well, cream for me. I love whipped cream. Then DP hates it. She made him one with extra jam and no cream. He ate his, I cut mine in half and left half in the fridge for an after work treat the following day.

Of course, you know where this is going. I got home after a particularly shit day, opened the fridge, no cream cake. When I asked him, he casually said he'd fancied it. When I said 'but you hate cream', he smiled and said, 'I know, I scraped the cream into the bin'.

ExDP was a bit abusive, extremely unfaithful, and his mother was an absolute narc nutter, but I always say that was the moment which broke it, and the reason he's an ex, and I'm really not joking.

Anordinarymum · 21/09/2020 11:12

In my house, if you put cake of any sort down on the unit top it is fair game.
