Could people give me their thoughts on this please. I bought myself a large family sized bar of chocolate yesterday. My son and partner came round today. His partner went into the kitchen to make a call came back in the they both said bye and left. I went to get chocolate later on and it had gone with the wrapper in the bin. My sons partner must have eat it said nothing then left.
Aibu being annoyed x

Don't be afraid of offending her by asking.. She's not afraid of offending you is she?
Incredibly rude and literally grabby

@JosephineGH I'm probably being dense but what is insanity source?!

Howlongwillthistake · 29/07/2022 23:06

I'd say nothing but buy another bar, leave it in the same place and put a big sticker on the underneath saying 'I KNOW IT'S YOU ... PUT IT BACK'

Definitely message your son and say
‘Hey, who ate my chocolate?’
You could pile on the guilt if you really wanted to - ‘X bought me that! Bring me a replacement when you next come round!’

Are you the poster whose DIL goes into the pantry and eats things secretly with the light turned off?

I could see someone helping themselves to a row, though I'd ask first personally. To eat the whole bar is bizarre. Either an ED, she's pushing the boundaries seeing what she can get away with or she's just that arrogant. No real good reasons to do this. Are you sure it's the whole bar? I could lose a bar in our fridge but then if it's just you it probably isn't packed to bursting like ours is.

The empty wrapper was in the bin!

Why was she even looking in your fridge anyway! I'd never look in someone's fridge and even at my mums I'd always ask first before eating anything.

GoodThinkingMax · 29/07/2022 23:38

she would really take offence if I said that.

She wasn't worried about offending you. It's rude - and eating a whole family-sized bar is also hugely greedy.

Does she have an eating disorder? It's a lot of chocolate to eat in under 15 minutes.

RiverSkater · 29/07/2022 23:40

You let this go then you are telling her that she may treat you and your hospitality with no respect.

Call her out on it. She seems to have no regard for your feelings so do not worry about upsetting her for her greed and rude behaviour.

Blimey - criminal!

Staffy1 · 29/07/2022 23:53

Yabu to keep chocolate in the fridge.

surreygirl1987 · 29/07/2022 23:55

I love chocolate in the fridge! And could totally polish off a family bar in 10 mins.

But yes - very strange behaviour. Would love to know what the deal was!

Arenanewbie · 30/07/2022 00:02

I love chocolate from the fridge too but I can’t do family size bar in 10 minutes. I’ll need a few cups of tea to finish it.
Ask your son but more like you are worried that his GF is unwell. Tbh she is probably unwell, is she pregnant by any chance and crave chocolate?

LorW · 30/07/2022 00:03

Just text your son and ask him which one of them ate your chocolate and say it was a gift? And that they owe you a new bar. That way you aren’t directly accusing her, people letting her get away with it is probably why she is like she is, so for the greater good say something 😁

ThePumpkinPatch · 30/07/2022 00:18

@henryhoover3 Have you sent the text then? What did they say?

LynetteScavo · 30/07/2022 06:06

This would give me the rage! I have people eating my food (think Ross from friends with his Thanksgiving sandwich). I would have to say something.

I can imagine DS or DH hoovering up my chocolate bar - but for a child's partner to do it would be odd. Has she ever lived with you?

jputthekettleon · 29/07/2022 22:21

How unpleasant for the person on the other end of the call to have her masticating through the whole call!

There're people who pay money for that...

Oh I think I misread your post! 😂

CourtneeLuv · 30/07/2022 07:21

Who cares if she gets offended for being called out on her entitlement. She didn't give a fuck about leaving you with no chocolate.

I'd definitely say something.

MinnieGirl · 30/07/2022 07:50

You said your son was sitting with you while his GF was in the kitchen? So you know it’s her!
Txt your son… After you had gone I found my bar of chocolate had gone, and the empty wrapper in the bin… bit surprised that GF had gone into my fridge… and not happy she helped herself to my chocolate. Don’t want to have to lock things away in my own house. Please replace chocolate and have a word….

YawnYawnYawn00 · 30/07/2022 08:09

Id definitely have to say something.
Message your son "I've just gone to the fridge to get my chocolate bar and it isn't there, and I've found the wrapper in the bin. Did partner eat it while they were here?"

I find it really odd they went in your fridge and then ate a whole family sized chocolate bar. Very odd.
