To have not shared my slice of cake? *lighthearted*

[Xmassprout]

This is lighthearted, I know there are bigger problems in the world. If you're going to get offended by a trivial problem involving unnecessary food, this isn't the thread for you.

I bought a children's cake for new years. Just a bog standard vanilla sponge with icing in a fun shape to keep the children amused.

There is only 2 adults, 1 toddler and one older baby in the house so we have over half the cake left. It will take a while to work through.

After lunch I asked my husband if he would like a slice, and he said no he would have some later. So I serve myself a slice and I'm eating it in the kitchen. So of course the husband strolls in asking for a bite of my slice of cake. I tell him no, if he wants some cake just help himself to the cake in the fridge. He keeps coming up to me trying to sneakily take a bite and grab it out of my hand, so I kept slapping his hand away.

He thinks it was rude of me not to share. But I think he was rude to expect some of my slice when there was plenty in the fridge. If he only wanted a little bit, he could just cut a small slice.

So was I being unreasonable not to share?

I would have given it to him and cut myself another piece just to stop him being so annoying.

Yanbu, that would’ve really bugged me! If you want cake, cut your own slice or say yes when offered it!

You're not unreasonable for expecting him to get his own slice. You are unreasonable for keeping cake in the fridge unless it's a cream cake. Just makes it go hard and stale.

I would have let him and cut another slice if I wanted but me and DP share all our food lol

No I wouldn’t have rewarded his annoying behaviour...

YWNBU. You’d offered him a piece and he’d declined; he had absolutely no right to demand some of your piece, and he should’ve listened the first time you said no. He’s an adult, not a toddler.

Ywnbu. If you had given him your cake, and got some more, you would be colluding and encouraging his cakey-fuckery

Would have made him feel bad by just giving him the whole slice

I'd have given him a bite (we do this sort of thing often) but with the instruction that he can only have a bite of the sponge bit and not any icing.

YANBU

He’s a grown up, you offered to get him some when you got yours, he could have got his own if he changed his mind. He was being annoying and childish

The PP who would’ve given him their slice to shut him up, I hope you would have then got yourselves a bigger slice!

Dh would have been told to piss right off and get his own slice! I don't share food

Never stay with a guy who dares to even ask or comment on my cake! 😡
That’s mine ! 😂🍰🤷🏻‍♀️🍮🍩🍪🍫🧁🍧🍨

It was probably a bit of fun behaviour from your Husband, and not a big issue.

There was a 'lighthearted' in the title, so I would imagine not 1forAll.

YANBU, next time pick the whole slice up and lick it slowly and ostentatiously from end to end while maintaining eye contact, then tell him if he asks again you'll lick the rest of the cake

He sounds annoying.

I'd have crammed the cake in my mouth like the French & Saunders Wagon Wheel sketch

Whaaaat?! You want to have your cake and eat it?! Are you Boris Johnson?

(I voted YANBU and would have stabbed my DH with the cake fork had he done such a thing)

LTB.

I'd have given it to him and then cut myself a much. bigger. slice.

Eugh l hate this, it's like a bag of chips it seems to give any passing DH, Office Colleague or friend you're with permission to just stick their mitts in and help themselves. I was once with three adults and went to chippy asking two of them that were present when l went if they wanted anything - both insisted no. Gets back and both suddenly wanted a few chips so as l had a big portion l gave them both a decent helping in some paper ripped off mine leaving myself with just enough. Then enter a third person who immediately started with the 'Ooh chips' which l ignored and so upped it to 'Ooh they smell good Bahhh' and started approaching rubbing their hands. I ended up going in another room and the fecker actually followed me in there. I didn't give him any and told him ld already shared them with two people so then he stomped out in a huff and called me mean. What is it about certain foods that people think you should share, nobody expects a bite of s sandwich for example. Your DH sounds annoying sorry.

You are absolutely not being unreasonable. He is.

If my DH wants some of mine, when I've asked him if he wants some and he's said no, he doesn't get any of mine.

1. “Joey doesn’t share food”

2. I am baffled how it can take “quite a while to work through” half a cake. That bugger would be gone for breakfast in this house.

YABU to keep cake in the fridge.

I don't share my food, I know that sounds bad and I would with my child but not with my partner. If he wanted cake he should cut himself a slice.

YANBU. I’m assuming he’s perfectly capable of helping himself to a piece from the fridge (why is your cake in the fridge BTW?)
