To not share my pizza?

Every time we have homemade pizza, DP eats his faster than me and then wants a slice of mine (he always thinks I won't eat it all). Am I being unreasonable to say no? He knows how much I love my pizza. After he sulked when I said no tonight, I did relent and offer him a piece since I wasn't going to finish it but he said he didn't want it anymore and said he's taking the moral highground.
I told him I'm taking it to mumsnet and he told me that I am "going to get battered by the mums". Am I being unreasonable to want to keep my pizza for myself?

He thought you'd get battered by the mums? Eh?

No you're not being unreasonable

DH does this pretty much every time we eat out. You are definitely not being unreasonable!

annonymousse · 09/09/2023 19:35

YANBU. He's a greedy pig. He could at least wait until you've finished before he muscles in on your share.

RJnomore1 · 09/09/2023 19:35

I have t shirt I bring out for occasions like this. It’s a friends one and it says : joey doesn’t share food.

he can make himself a bigger pizza next time.

Quartz2208 · 09/09/2023 19:35

Do you eat it all or not. Sometimes I can eat a whole pizza sometimes not and I tend to know whether I can.

he should wait for you to offer depending on of you are going to eat it all. Being a man doesn’t mean he should get more pizza

fairyfluf · 09/09/2023 19:36

Why does he think he should have 2 slices more than you?

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 09/09/2023 19:36

He’s a greedy cunt. He had his own pizza.

People taking food off my plate grosses me out.

CleverLilViper · 09/09/2023 19:36

YANBU.

He had his and he’s being a greedy pig. One thing if he took a slice after you’d finished and left some but another to try and get you to give him some when you are still actively eating.

takealettermsjones · 09/09/2023 19:37

It's your bloody pizza! You might want to eat it all, or you might want to save some for your lunch the next day. He needs to make himself two and quit expecting yours.

Leeds2 · 09/09/2023 19:37

DH is BVU. He should wait until you have finished your pizza, and there is a slice left on your plate that is clearly not going to be eaten, before asking if it is ok to take it.
If someone asked me for part of my meal whilst I was still eating it, the answer would be a clear "no" and I would make sure that I finished every last crumb!

Bearbookagainandagain · 09/09/2023 19:37

YANBU.
If my husband want to try mine because I've put special ingredients then fine, but otherwise nope. Plus, I freeze my leftover pizza to make a lunch another day with a salad.

StripeyDeckchair · 09/09/2023 19:37

Of course you are not being unreasonable - he is being entitled.

He can either wait to see if you eat all of yours and ask for the left overs, if there are any, or make himself 2 pizzas (greedy git)

IHateWasps · 09/09/2023 19:38

I'd have put a fork through his jugular long before now.

gamerchick · 09/09/2023 19:39

He's greedy. It's an unattractive trait in someone.

He probably doesn't want it now because he's full.

JustAnotherUsey · 09/09/2023 19:39

I think you should try and finish the pizza anyway. Even if you don't want it! So he knows next time not to ask you for a slice!

JustAnotherUsey · 09/09/2023 19:40

It's more the greedy eyes on your food when theirs is finished. Hate that

IHateWasps · 09/09/2023 19:38

Me too!

Honestly cannot abide greedy people who think everything should belong to them!

Irridescantshimmmer · 09/09/2023 19:41

Next time he attempts to thieve your pizza, charge him £10 per slice, with interest of any amount you choose.

Plus a pain-in-the-ass-tax of 50%

🤣

VeridicalVagabond · 09/09/2023 19:42

You enjoy your pizza and tell your husband to make himself an additional tiny pizza of shame whenever you make pizza so he doesn't have to steal yours!

Sofasurfer23 · 09/09/2023 19:42

For me it depends. If you never finish your pizza he’s just hedging his bets. The sulking is rude and the question should be, do you you think you think you are going to finished the whole pizza or do you need some help IMO

GoudaMozzarella · 09/09/2023 19:43

I love the idea of a tiny pizza of shame 🤣

PlacidPenelope · 09/09/2023 19:43

You are not being unreasonable in the slightest. Your husband should wait until you have finished and then you can offer it to him or save it for later or tomorrow whichever you prefer, if he can't cope with that then he's an arse.

YesitsBess · 09/09/2023 19:43

I hate food taxers. With my ex I couldn't even get a sandwich handed to me without a bloody bite out of it. RAAAAARGH!

YANBU, you might want that last slice as a snack later, or a breakfast slice. I personally am a fan of a breakfast slice.
