DH and hobnobs

[ComeTheFuck0nBridget]

DH doesn’t like chocolate biscuits. “He can eat them” if there’s nothing else, he says, but prefers plain. He’s a bit snobby about it, actually. I only like the chocolate ones, a plain one isn’t worth it to me.

I got us both a pack of hobnobs in our Tesco delivery yesterday. His plain, mine with chocolate.

Tidying up this morning to find HALF of the entire packet of the chocolate hobnobs gone, and the plain packet unopened.

Something like this happens practically every time I get some and drives me absolutely mad. WIBU to put half the packet of plain hobnobs out on the bird table for the birds? (Lighthearted… maybe )

I know a good divorce lawyer.

Get your snacks in a row and then LTB.

It's the only way now.

Stay strong @ComeTheFuck0nBridget

I'd have to ask and wouldn't let up until I got an answer for his pathetic behaviour.

These sound like my ideal biscuit. Sweet and spicy. I wish someone would make them.

You could buy some chilli chocolate and make your own. I also recommend Montezuma's lime and sea salt dark chocolate.

I’m angry on your behalf. DP does that superior thing that you mentioned-plain biscuits are a luxury whereas chocolate biscuits are a sleazy self indulgence. Fancy chocolate, eaten in single squares, is gourmet, whereas a standard choc babe is faintly disgusting. This would be all very well if he too didn’t chomp all the nice stuff after I’ve gone to bed while still maintaining the air of disdainful superiority
Grrrr.

@NoSquirrels

Your response is oddly confrontational for a lighthearted hobnob thread.

Lighthearted! He ATE HER CHOCOLATE HOBNOBS

OP, in future buy ONLY chocolate ones.

You are right! My mistake! 🤣 This is a very serious matter!

Choc bar- a choc babe would be deeply unsettling.

Have you asked him why he maintains this air of superiority when he clearly likes the stuff?

Plain hobnobs make a lovely base for a chocolate & raspberry torte.

Crush 300g hobnobs. Melt 70g butter & mix into the crush.
Press into a loose bottomed flan tin which you have lined with greaseproof paper. Bake at 180 °c for 10 mins & leave to cool.

Heat 300ml double cream with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. When it "gloops" remove from heat & add 280g dark chocolate. Stir until fully melted.

Pour into the base & leave to cool & set.

Top with fresh raspberries & serve with ice cream.

My dad used to eat all the crisps everyone else liked and leave the ones no one liked except him so he could eat them at his leisure. I always hated him for that

I wouldn’t be impressed to see dh eat my biscuits either.

Btw for a PP chocolate hobnobs are in a blue packet, dark chocolate hobnobs are in a red packet. Can’t exactly confuse the two

LTB. I think I can top that though…

40 weeks pregnant and feeling tired and sorry for myself so bought some nice cakes. Just got the toddler down for a nap and sat down to eat mine with a cup of tea. Offered DH some thinking he would have a bite but he ate all the lovely icing off the top leaving me with just the plain cake.

I’m now googling divorce lawyers.

He is gaslighting you

Log with police and pack and leave

Taking all the biscuits with you …. And leave the empty packets behind

WELL, put all the biscuits out for the birds, they need some food, now Winter is approaching. You don't Need any biscuits whatever type. I used to eat custard creams years ago, but don't buy any biscuits now.

He’d rid! He’s a narcissist! You can do so much better 🤓

Next time I'd buy two packets of chocolate ones and no plain ones!

@SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace
Exactly

@mumofmunchkin

Only buy chocolate ones in future. When he questions it just say "you ate the chocolate ones first last time so I assume you like them better"
^^

He can't argue with that logic.
(He can buy his own plain ones)
I never ration biscuits though so we get a shed load and replace when the stock runs out - adults kids have left home.
Dh liked ginger ones which I won't touch.

If he is regularly doing this, he is doing it intentionally.

While the lace the biscuits plan was both great and terrifying in equal measure, and asking him not to eat my snacks had not worked, id resort to buying myself two packets for his one, a d for any biscuit of mine he ate, id get rid of two of his.
