DH just had all the leftover Chinese to himself!

[Scarlettjones24]

Treated ourselves to a carry out last night. It’s rare occurrence these days due to money being tight . Ordered more than we could eat in one night so a portion of fried rice and another portion of bean curd were put in the fridge. I just came downstairs and he’s eating it ALL. It looked like a very large portion of food for one person so I thought we would share. I expressed my mild annoyance and his response was ‘didn’t think you’d want any’. Dunno why he’d think that. I know it’s not important in the grand scheme of things but AIBU to think he’s a greedy bastard or am I just being moody?

It's thoughtless. Treat yourself to a shop bought something today (wrap or whatever) to ease the feeling of unfairness.

Greedy. If he didn't think you'd want any, why not just ask you and then he'd know for sure?

I would take petty revenge and eat all of something else in the house that he will be expecting to be shared.

LTB!!

Left over chinese is to be distributed fairly the next day amongst all eligable house occupants, preferably with chips. Everyone knows this.
YANBU.

This is why I can't live with people (well, men)

I didn't think you'd want any translates into

"I thought about it, then thought Nah, fuck you, I'm going to have this all myself"

Or

"It never crossed my mind to even contemplate whether you'd like any"

Both are crap.

He's a selfish greedy bastard!

He's a greedy git and I'd be telling him that. Did he come from a house where he had the crunchiest roast potatoes and nicest cuts of meat by any chance growing up?

I remember really really looking forward to some left overs to find my exh hadn't eaten them
I still remember the sudden utter rage that came over me . Luckily he wasn't home and I managed to calm down

Had eaten them *
Obviously

I saved mine for breakfast 😋when I got up my husband had given it to the dog. I was proper gutted!

Twat. There's always been an unspoken rule in this house that leftovers or last portions of anything are divided unless otherwise agreed.

He's a greedy pig & if I was you, I'd secretly wish that he gets an upset stomach now as penance! 😆

Surely that's grounds for divorce?! 😲

He can come and live here. Whenever we have Chinese takeaway we invariably order too much and swear we will have it for lunch / dinner the next day. The next day we are both always 'nah don't fancy it'. Then it stays in the fridge for about a week, taking up valuable space, until it's obvious no-one is going to eat it and it's now uneatable.

I thought rice was dangerous to eat the next day ?

Mg husband eats the leftover takeaway all the time. It's a quick easy lunch for him

er, no. Else half the world would be dead.

And?

LTB. Obvious response on mumsnet.

@Indicatrice 🤣

Honestly I'd order myself a takeaway of choice tonight and not order him any. When he asks why he hasn't got anything say "didn't think you'd want any." Maybe then the selfish git will think twice about doing it again.

If only there were a way he could check his assertion you wouldn't want any? Selective use of not asking questions for him now on, I think. In finishing future takeaways, in not ordering his preferences and extending this principle into other areas of life until the message sinks in,

I thought rice was dangerous to eat the next day ? I'm still alive; we always order extra rice to go with the next day left overs. If its stored properly and reheated just once to a high temperature then its fine. I wouldn't have risked it whilst pregnant, obviously.

Treat yourself to chocolate. Eat it whilst watching TV in front of him. If he asks for some, nope I only bought myself some cos I didn't think you would want any.

I think you need to seriously consider leaving him. That just shows how selish he is, and people don't change. You're setting yourself up for a lifetime of misery. Is he abusive in other ways? If you have children you need to think about their safety too.

Etc etc.
