Husband labelling HIS OWN FOOD

334 replies

MrsWestox · 28/01/2023 18:37

Hi all
Now, am I being old fashioned here? Husband since 2014 has taken to labelling ALL the food he buys with a sharpie pen..which ironically I bought.. expecting no one to touch it. But when it comes to the food I buy..plus literally everything else from loo roll to bin bags to washing powder that I buy..is fair game for him to use or eat as he sees fit. So much for a shared household eh? Sharing is caring..( lol)! Has anyone else experienced this..? Am I being unreasonable to be totally razzed off by this?

OP posts:

Of course nobody else has experienced it because it's absolute madness!!! Grin

Passivhaus · 28/01/2023 18:39

Weird behaviour unless you always steal things he looks forward to eating.

ScramblePud · 28/01/2023 18:39

Clearly the obvious solution is to get a sharpie and whip his arse beat him at his own game.

swedex · 28/01/2023 18:39

Start labeling the loo roll and milk! He's a nob

CottonSock · 28/01/2023 18:39

I'd retaliate as this would piss me right off.

Oysterbabe · 28/01/2023 18:39

Well you know the answer, Sharpie at the ready.
I would label literally every single thing I bought until he realises what a massive bellend he is.

MumGoneMild · 28/01/2023 18:40

Why the fuck has it hone on so long?

what the point of him? Youve got a lodger

midlifecrash · 28/01/2023 18:40

WHAT

GoldilockMom · 28/01/2023 18:41

Label the phone charger.

I hope you’re not having sex with this loser?

Oysterbabe · 28/01/2023 18:41

Don't forget to label the kids. You grew them in your body and he contributed a single cell.

JaneJeffer · 28/01/2023 18:42

Wait until he's asleep and draw on his face with the Sharpie

savoycabbage · 28/01/2023 18:42

Start repacking all the food in DHARMA packaging from LOST.

Hankunamatata · 28/01/2023 18:42

Alcohol takes sharpie off. Now that would confuse him!

OnBoardTheHeartOfGold · 28/01/2023 18:43

GoldilockMom · 28/01/2023 18:41

Label the phone charger.

I hope you’re not having sex with this loser?

Yes. Label yourself too and tell him to keep away.

DaveyJonesLocker · 28/01/2023 18:43

Its absurd and I would 100% start writing on everything I bought

Reugny · 28/01/2023 18:43

On each toilet roll put "STOLEN from MrsWestox"

They did this at one of my unis on every toilet roll on campus for the first term.

It actually has the opposite effect in my halls and got everyone stealing toilet rolls.

Huh?

EyebrowChallenge · 28/01/2023 18:43

Very weird. Do you have separate finances? Does he think you’re his mum and your job is to buy for the household while he can just get things he wants for himself?

I do sometimes say to my family if I’ve bought something I’d like to have some of, as with multiple teens it’s common for things just to get eaten which is annoying if you’ve been looking forward to it (eg I’ve bought some raspberries, you’re welcome to have some but please leave enough for my yoghurt tomorrow). But that doesn’t sound like what he’s doing.

MrsTerryPratchett · 28/01/2023 18:44

Label the Sharpie. <meta>

midlifecrash · 28/01/2023 18:44

If this is really true I think you should label everything else “Not DH’s biscuits”, “Not DH’s bread”, “Not DH’s washing powder” etc.

Do friends/ family never come round and laugh at him?

Reugny · 28/01/2023 18:44

Good idea.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 28/01/2023 18:44

Get your Sharpie back and label his forehead with your name whilst he sleeps.

JaneJeffer · 28/01/2023 18:45

Hey that was my idea 😡

LolaSmiles · 28/01/2023 18:45

That's weird behaviour.

I thought this was going to be something like DH labels his protein powder or sports drink powder in tupperware in case the children mistake it for milkshake powder, not taking a Sharpie to the family shop!

Rumplestrumpet · 28/01/2023 18:46

Sorry OP but how on earth have you put up with this for NINE YEARS?!?!
