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?

Any leftover pizza should be eaten by the owner for breakfast. It's the rules.

Hankunamatata · 09/09/2023 20:12

Make more pizza?

Medlady · 09/09/2023 20:13

Put him on, OP. We’re very interested in his … moral high ground? Can’t wait to hear him explain it

I have to say I don't get these conversations at all.... in my culture we always serve others before serving ourselves and the fights are opposite where each person is trying to force the other person to have more. that's for any relationship... or even with people we don't know well... wouldn't it be easier to just make sure there is a spare pizza, so you can both have more if you wanted?

No because if they don't want it that's a waste

Obviously he's awful but what a ridiculous situation. Cook more pizza!! It's not difficult.

fairyfluf · 09/09/2023 20:15

Is he judging you for wanting to eat a whole pizza? Is he into Penis portions?

gazingatgoats · 09/09/2023 20:16

Are you making your pizza from scratch? If so allow more pizza dough for your DH so his pizza is a bit bigger than yours. This way he can fill up on his own pizza and keep his thieving hands off yours 😆

That wouldn't solve the problem. The problem isn't he's still hungry it's that he thinks the op shouldn't be eating a whole pizza to herself. If he was still hungry he would make himself a bigger pizza next time or get sides but the fact he doesn't shows it's got fuck all to do with actual hunger.

Yeah he's trying to say OP should eat less. LTB

Are you overweight? Is he?

Penis portions… love it

Bucksmamma · 09/09/2023 20:22

YANBU at all! We call it "tax" in our house. Usually saved for the kids or lunch the next day. Even if you're not going to finish yours it's perfectly reasonable to tell him that you want to save it for the next day.

The thing to ask him is that is he actually hungry or wanting to have a taste of what you're having (I always want to know what other peoples food tastes like) or is he just being plain greedy? From there you either make him more food, give him a sliver or tell him to bugger off!

MeridianB · 09/09/2023 20:23

This would give me the ick.

Goldbar · 09/09/2023 20:25

YANBU. Does he try to steal your food in restaurants as well?

Definitely a fork-stabbing offence!

The other option is to lick every piece of your pizza while he watches. Juvenile and crude, yes, but generally effective!

LimeCheesecake · 09/09/2023 20:25

Reading this having just got in after dinner out with dh and dcs. Dh and I got the chateaubriand which is sharing for 2. Dh sliced it up and although knowing he’ll eat far more than I would, and always I eat less than him, waited after eating half to check id finished and didn’t mind if he tucked into the rest.

@GoudaMozzarella ‘s DH, you have no manners. This is not ok. Wait until she’s finished and then ask if she would mind you eating the left overs. If this happens regularly, you need a basic amount of food that is more, you can’t rely on her eating less than her portion (that’s not enough for you).

as a side note, every man I’ve met who was greedy and unfair with food was also shit in bed (because the whole prioritising his own pleasure over partners).

jlpth · 09/09/2023 20:26

Why don’t you just cook enough food? If you cooked another pizza, it’d keep in the fridge.

Men do need more calories than women and nobody likes being left gagging for more.

Whinge · 09/09/2023 20:26

Woah woah woah hang on a minute why the fuck should the OP be making him anymore food? Does having a penis prevent him from cooking?

Yerroblemom1923 · 09/09/2023 20:27

Maybe chuck a third pizza in the pizza oven in case of large appetites. That way everyone is happy and you can always keep for next day if uneaten.

EggInANest · 09/09/2023 20:27

He needs to STFU and wait politely until you have finished, and then ask if he can eat your leftovers.

And then not sulk if you say ‘not today, I’m saving it for my lunch tomorrow’

Make extra?

Because it's not about the amount of food otherwise he'd make himself a bigger pizza or some sides to accompany it.

Note the use of the word he because it's the not the OPs job to cook for him.

ohdamnitjanet · 09/09/2023 20:27

I’d take 3 hours to eat my pizza. He’s a moron.

UnctuousUnicorns · 09/09/2023 20:28

You toucha ma pizza, I breaka your face. Seriously though, I'm glad my DH isn't a greedy twat. I might keep my leftovers for the following day, or I might let him have them, be it pizza or any other food, but he'd never try to cadge or demand them. Tell him to get a bigger one next time, if his share isn't enough for him.

Wanttobekind · 09/09/2023 20:28

Pathetic man child. Ditch him and eat the whole pizza. Cold for breakfast if necessary just to make the point that you can.

It's threads like this that make me so glad to be with a woman.
