To want to drink my own drink?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's husband constantly drinks their drinks?
It drives me absolutely bloody mental.
I'll make a pint of squash, have a few gulps, leave it on the side and 20 minutes later it's all gone with just an empty glass left.
I open a can of coke and will have a few sips, an hour later it will be empty in the recycling bin.
His excuse for 10 years has been "well I only wanted a few sips" or "I didn't want a whole one"
This happens at least 3 times a day and I am literally at the end of my tether.
Stop drinking my bloody drinks Angry

add salt or vinegar to the drink? PPs are sooo polite.
Just pee in it Grin

Or leave a class of chilled pee on the counter and let him think it's a delightfully cool glass of Chardonnay - especially with a couple of days warm weather forecast.

From midday, once I've stopped drinking coffee, I have a glass of squash and sometimes leave it in the kitchen. Or I sometimes Ieave the empty glass in the kitchen because I use the same glass until I go to bed. If some of you on here took my glass away all the time, I would be pissed off. Leave people's things alone and don't waste your time doing a pointless task like washing something someone is going to reuse.

So yep, your husband should leave your drink alone. It's not his. You shouldn't have to do this but it's like the only option left is to either make a drink and drink it all or carry a bottle round with you. Tbh, he should respect you enough to stop doing something he knows you don't like.
