My Ben and jerries half baked.

Haven't had it in a year. Got it as a treat. He had 4(!!!) tubs of his own favourite flavour.

Divorce??

Half Baked is my favourite too! DP knows better than to touch my Half Baked, luckily he's more of a vanilla fan. I hide it from the children in the vegetarian freezer drawer underneath my frozen butternut squash. My daughter caught me with the tub the other day and got all excited, I told her it was vegan ice cream and she stomped off in disgust!

Yeah, my wife at the last slice of American cheese I had earmarked for a burger I just had... she'd snacked on it during the day.

I know your pain.

Divorce be damned !

I'd hang him up by his bloody testicles and feed him Asda's own brand ice cream until he vomits !

My partner has just scoffed my cashew nuts. I prefer cashews, he prefers peanuts. We bought both and I get back in from watering the veggie patch and my cashews are gone.

Am really pissed off! 😡

I'm guessing this thread is meant to be light-hearted, but what is it with men and their selfishness and greed. I hope he buys you another one OP. I bought (out of my own money) a variety of alcoholic drinks on the weekend for my birthday as we were having people over. Dh and I have been on annual leave this week so he's obviously consuming the left overs. So now when I fancy one, I doubt they'll be much left. They are selfish twats.

This is weird to me. Whatever I buy is for me and my husband to enjoy whenever. If he finishes it we (he or I) get more. It's not that deep

My dh doesn't buy more to top it up. that's the problem. If it worked both ways, then fair enough. But it doesn't. I guess I was feeling fed up. I spent £500 + on a meal on Saturday for all my family friends, £100+ on food from m&s for my family on my birthday, £100 + on alcohol. Plus, my mother in laws birthday present, as we share the same birthday and dh hadnt bought anything, I like my mother in law and she does a lot of child care for us so I wasn't not going to get her anything. I spent £15+ on ice creams on my actual birthday when we were out on a walk. We went for another meal this week, just myself and dh. My sister gave us a voucher for £40, I paid the £30 to top it up. When we got to the pub on Saturday, my husband asked what I wanted to drink, then said I needed to pay as he hadn't brought his wallet. So he couldn't even be bothered to buy me a cider on my 40th birthday (2 for £6 so not exactly expensive). We earn the same wage so 🤷‍♀️. So yeah, it might be weird, but I really feel taken advantage of this last week, to be honest. And for the reasons above, I do feel pissed off. If I fancy a hazy Jane on Saturday evening, there will be none there. He does have form for going to the shop and buying himself a bottle of wine etc, but I've spoken to him about this, and he does ring now to see if I want anything.

People always swan into these threads going "omg it's not a big deal just buy more".

Just thank your lucky stars you've never experienced these men. I've come across it more than once, different men, short relationshipsobviously and no kids. It must be so much worse being married to them.

Examples include:

Men insisting on going halves on the food shop/takeaway, but eating way more than half. Seems convenient equality only works when it benefits them.

Men graciously taking it in turns for deliberately oversized takeaways so there's leftovers for the "host" whichever house we were at. He always just kept eating so there were never any leftovers when I paid, but I'd get told off and told to leave him leftovers when he paid.

Me batch cooking as I was working long hours (he didn't work). Id come home looking forward to an easy meal and find 4+ portions gone and none left because "it was so tasty I couldn't stop, but now the cupboards are bare and I was too tired to go shopping". Yeah, food comas do that.

With some dynamics and budgets, it's not "only food" - you're actively taking it from someone else. I know I irrationally hate it, but I hate it all the same.
