To be fucked off that DH ate my leftovers

[CatLoaf]

I had an amazing dinner last night, steak platter with friends. It came with bubble and squeak, fab chips...piles of it, and we couldn't finish it. I checked with the others if they were OK with me taking the leftovers home, and was so so looking forward to them tonight. DH (a 'flexitarian' who tries not to eat meat), just told me he ate it for lunch.

I am so so pissed off, and I KNOW I should have expressly told him not to eat it if that's what I wanted. But I'm 6 months pregnant, hormonal, and when he told me I just saw red. Totally overreacted and told him I was really pissed off with him. Then went into our bedroom and had a scream into a pillow. I know, pathetic. Then I told him he could sort his own dinner out.

Now he's taken his coat and backpack and gone out, saying he can't stay here atm. It's completely blown up and I feel horrible. Currently sitting in the dark in DD's room. I hate this

Hope he comes around and looks at this rationally. Give each other a good cuddle - pregnancy days aren't easy for anyone! 💐

Would explain the lack of functioning brain cells on here.

No, I’m saying the figures from the survey are good,*

Who conducted the survey? How was it sample and what was the base?

So you have been drinking?

So, you provided a source and now you’re saying we can’t use your source because your source is from an unreliable source?

😂It's like something out of Yes Minister.

He shouldn't have eaten it.

You were cross that he did.

Why didnt he offer to replace it there and then?

No, I have my food go missing. I just don’t see red and have a scream about it. Pregnant or not. Pregnancy is not an excuse to be OTT and scream about some left over food being eaten by a family member.

No. I don’t drink at all. Is that what most posters on MN do on a Friday? Drink and pile onto newbies with different points of view?

My brother ate my Toblerone in 1989. I still haven't forgiven him.

Personally I would be fuming - it’s obvious It was a take-out/doggy bag food, so why would he just blindly eat it without asking.

Oh, you’re new? Makes sense. Welcome to Mumsnet. If you’re nasty to people, other posters tend to bite back at you. If you make ridiculous points, don’t expect people to nod politely (especially if you’re making them with the aim of swiping at an upset pregnant woman). Behave decently and you’ll get along fine. Act like a snake then you’ll get the vipers.

It's pretty clear she screamed in frustration over the disagreement with her thieving DH who thought it was ok to help himself to food that was not his!!! Jesus yourself!

Yes! My sister once ate a full family sharing bag of crisps that she was meant to share with about 30 years ago. I got an apple. I haven’t forgiven her either. Glad someone else knows this trauma.

You’ve managed to never accidentally steal from your colleagues but they keep accidentally stealing from you? How convenient! 🙄

Different points of view are fine, accusing people of being dysfunctional because of their different views is probably going to piss them off;

They’re a family. Generally food isn’t designated as an individuals property in functional families. I didn’t recognise the dysfunction of being married, with one DC and another on the way of having his and hers food.

FGS wise up! Yes, I would be raging if someone in work ate my lunch too!! Have you no boundaries???

This! I once had a box of coffee pods in the office, left on my desk under my notebooks and stuff that was obviously mine. Next morning I come in and all had gone except 2 - those on the night shift had taken them all. I was very irritated but did I throw a massive hissy fit? No, because that would be immature and would have made me look like a twat. I just bought another box and kept them in my bag. Foot stamping gets you nowhere.

My sister ate my entire quarter of orange Oatfield sweets (the orange ones with the chocolate in the centre) circa 1980 - bitch left me with a bag of empty wrappers!!! I'd actually hidden them so she couldn't. She couldn't ever have thought I wasn't going to notice ffs!

He took your food and then stormed out. What a nasty man child. You don't take food from pregnant women, especially if you're the reason they're pregnant.

YANBU OP and I am furious for you. Fucking male entitlement.

I don’t walk about my office in my pants. It’s almost as if offices and homes have different expectations of behaviour.

And now he’s gone for a cushy night off to play the victim somewhere.

I think it's bloody rude to eat someone else's leftovers and in my house we would always ask.

Normal food is fair game.

I think he could have apologised and offered to get you something else!

COMPLETELY different scenario!

A colleague once cleaned out the so-disgusting-I-wouldn't-use-it work fridge. In the process, she threw out another colleague's out of date milk, because, well, you know, it was out of date?

Fucking numpty went apeshit when she found out - had colleague in tears - said it was M&S milk and she bought M&S milk because it lasted beyond the best before date!!!!!!!!!

I still remember discovering my mum had eaten one of my easter eggs the night before! She said it was because I had too many, but really she was just being greedy. 😡
