Husband labelling HIS OWN FOOD

[MrsWestox]

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?

Eh? How the fuck does that work?! Do you have separate finances? Do you not eat together or share treats? So many questions, sorry OP 😂

I would tell him either a) he takes over responsibility for buying - and labelling - everything he uses down to each individual shit ticket, never to touch anything he hasn’t personally purchased, or b) he stops behaving like a maladjusted fucking child and accepts that sharing living space means sharing amenities. He’s a man, not a dog. Resource guarding is deeply unattractive.

Actually the fair thing to do is remove the bedding from him as she brought it and/or the detergent.

I mean sure if you've bought something really specific as a rare treat or for lunch at work or need to bring it withh you somewhere. I can somwhat get it. But everything? Like does he buy chicken and cook it for just himself? Or is it crisps that he eats in the livignroom and doesn't share? Like how does this work? Do you have sgated finances for food?

Very odd behaviour says me who hides my special stuff in the back of the salad draw as no one looks there.

Oh yes. Do this. Do it! Do it! Do it!

everything he uses down to each individual shit ticket

<snort>

Now, am I being old fashioned here?

Yes, all modern married couples treat each other as untrustworthy housemates.

Mate, tell him to go and live alone if he feels this way. He's not suited to living en famille.

Frozen spinach box in the freezer. <taps nose>

Is he financially abusive generally?

Well yes, hide some emergency chocolate but labelling washing powder is not the same.

It's funny how I would suddenly find the labelled items irresistible to eat!

You’ve been tolerating this shit for 9 years?

Husband of a friend has his own special laundry basket for his own dirty clothes, which he washes, leaving my friend to do all the rest of the laundry for the family (3 kids). This is in the same bonkers ballpark. Do these men think they’re in a student flatshare?

He sounds like a dickhead!

You seem to have a lodger or flatmate rather than a husband. It's something you might expect to see in student halls of residence.

It sounds like it's something he's just started doing.

Bloody weird. Kick him out and write your name on the front door.

If you tolerate this then your children will be next

That is very weird. How and why did this start?

I do remember as teenagers, my mum and my sister and I were eating too much fruit and every time she or dad went for an apple, the bowl was empty. So we all had a bowl each and when it was gone, it was gone.
Do you maybe sneak eat his favourite stuff?

Ha! I like this idea.

Why?!

Just, why?!

Don't ruin it.

This is the obvious solution.

Definitely hide the sharpie, label it first in case he finds it,
what an utter twat. at least you don't refer to him as "D"H

MrsTerryPratchett “label the sharpie” made a little bit of tea cone out my nose! 😂

Wtf have I just read
