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?

That would press all my buttons. It's like, not letting you have something without them having to get in on your enjoyment. It's like, taking something off a dog to prove you can. Real dominance behaviour.

Your DH is a dick and YANBU

There are so many threads recently about food and people getting annoyed over people eating theirs.

I have never and will never argue with anyone about food.

Yeah, sorry all I can see from this is you keep your cake in the fridge..YABU 😂

He wants to not have his cake and eat yours!!

Cheeky bastard.

I totally recognise and accept im unreasonable for keeping the cake in the fridge. It has indeed gone a little hard and stale. I normally go for gateau instead so I just went on automatic mode putting it in there

I don't mind sharing cake, just not MY bit of cake. And he would have still eaten it if I licked it. I've literally put sweets in my mouth before and asked if he still wants it and he will actually still eat it. I think my husband is broken

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.

This would totally boil my piss. So basically you had a third of a portion and someone wanted half of that. Leaving you with a sixth. Next time if there is one and people said that they didn't want any I would clearly ask if they are sure because if they change their mind I would not be sharing. To take so much from you is very rude in my opinion. If that was me I would have taken maybe 2 chips or just have gotten my own portion or ask the other person if they wanted to go halves as I understand sometimes you don't want a large portion. The third person was unbelievably rude. Well done for not letting them have any.

Argh this is dreadful behaviour from your DH! YANBU. My DH is exactly the same, as is his entire family. They have been known to chop a chocolate into six pieces rather than give everyone their own chocolate bar. Treats = psychological warfare. I could weep every time!
