DP ate my food😡

I need to hear people's opinions as I really don't know if my hormones are taking over or not!

Hopefully this isn't a long one but want to add extra info so I don't drip feed.
I had my first baby in May and both baby and I were in hospital for 7 days due to a bad labour (ended up having 3 surgeries, lost 2L of blood, baby got really ill etc.) Over the course of 4/5 weeks I was in and out of the hospital weekly due to all of these issues once discharged. When DP would stay overnight in the hospital with me, he would bring me this chicken and rice box to eat for lunch which was absolutely amazing. I later found out it was a Filipino food stall which served street food in DPs area and there wasn't one near me.

Fast forward to now, I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant with our second baby and the hospital I'm having the baby in is very close to the food place DP would get this rice box from. Whenever I have a hospital appointment (which isn't often) I go to the food stall and buy both of our orders.

Today DP wanted something different and asked for a burrito. When I got home we saw it wasn't actually a burrito and his order was done incorrectly. Even though it wasn't what he ordered, he tried it and liked it so ate all of it. I asked if he wanted some of mine (we usually get the same rice box) and he said yeah so I poured a bit out of my box and put it in his. He then finished his food and came over bothering me for some more of mine. I was jokingly saying, 'go away you've had your own' but let him take a mouthful.

I always get a large and always save half for dinner as I can never finish it all at one time. I put the box down on the table and never thought anything of it. Fast forward a couple of hours and I start getting hungry again so I go to the table to get my rice box but it isn't there. I go into the kitchen and see it on the side, picked it up and it was as light as a feather! Opened it up and there was honestly no more than 2 mouthfuls left in the box.
I had left nearly half! I go over to DP and say 'where the hell is my food, why did you have some, I never said you can have some' etc. He starts saying 'yes you did' then eventually said sorry because he knows he ate it without asking me. I had to go to the front door for fresh air because I was genuinely upset.

I know this is going to sound silly but I really do love that food. I rarely have it as it isn't close to where I live and DP knows I was saving that for dinner. He has form for this too as last time I was pregnant, I put down a container of chow mein near the side of the bed to get a drink, when I looked over, DP had finished all of my chow mein!

I told him to go home (he was going home today anyway but told him to go earlier) I was so pissed off. All a pregnant girl wanted to do was sit down at eat her food for dinner, is that so much to ask?!
Did I overreact or is he just a food thief?

Mental note, ignore any of OP's threads slagging of her boyfriend in future. Hmm

Vix1977 · 28/10/2021 18:43

That's greedy and very selfish.
Doesn't matter if you are pregnant or hormonal, it's just dam right disrespectful!!
He should have asked you. But he knows the answer would have been no she he will do it anyway.

Selfish man!!

Vix1977 · 28/10/2021 18:47

Side note - OP you never need to explain your situation to any of these naggy people. It is absolutely none of their business and it's a shame they feel the need to completely ignore what the post is actually about.

@heebiejeebies45

I'm not even on benefits (except for child benefit of course) so all you people talking about benefit fraud are actually mad. I'm just looking at these comments shaking my head. Benefit fraud out of all things, you all certainly picked that one out of your arses
I love this girl 😂😂😂

@heebiejeebies45

I don't have much confidence in the relationship lasting. I certainly don't think getting pregnant with a second child within a couple of months of a traumatic birth is a great idea.

Do I know you? Do you think I care about any confidence you have in our relationship lasting or your opinion on us having a second baby? Did I actually ask for any of the information you've just given?

No you didn't, but I was responding to someone else.

Everyone that's commented on this has focued on the reason of the absence and not how the absence impacts the child as already asked by a PP. It's funny how no one seems to be able to answer the question of whether a parent working a way causes an unstable environment too or is it just when a parent isn't living at the house even though that parent actually sees the child more frequently. A lot of contradiction and minimal explanations here

Oh this one is easy.

“Where’s daddy?” “He is working away, darling, earning money so we can pay the bills, he will be back home at the weekend, because he lives here and we can do something fun together then”

Or,

“Where’s daddy? oh, he doesn’t actually live here, he goes back to his mum’s house, where he actually lives, because we can’t all be together for too long as I love having time away from him.”

Which child feels loved and wanted by their father in a stable household?

I don't see the problem living in different houses temporarily.

They are moving in together soon anyway.

I want to know what these riceboxes are?

Just rice? What?

Absolutely spot on!

Meanwhile…in Syria…

However…in short: yes, he’s a bit of a belter for eating something that he probably knew you wanted later…

But…Having to go outside because someone ate your rice…?
