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?

From there you either make him more food, give him a sliver or tell him to bugger off!

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?

Good point! Assuming OP is making the homemade pizzas as otherwise it's odd that he's not making himself enough food??

FOJN · 09/09/2023 20:31

Tell him to grow up.

He's taking the moral high ground? Does the dipshit (hi there greedy pizza thief) even know what that means?

He can have whatever you don't eat when you are finished and not before just because he "thinks" you won't eat it all.

There are few things worse than someone eyeing up your dinner when you're eating it. He's a greedy pig. Leave him and take him for everything he's got.

newnamethanks · 09/09/2023 20:32

Pizza maker: Make a bigger one for OPs husband next time.

TheDogthatDug · 09/09/2023 20:32

Greedy fucker if he is wanting yours when you haven't finished eating, fair enough if you leave any and don't have plans to have it later.

Isometimeswonder · 09/09/2023 20:32

I go further... I split things 50:50. If I don't finish mine that doesn't mean it's for my husband... they're my leftovers for whenever I want them!!

MsLavender · 09/09/2023 20:34

YANBU nothing worse than someone hovering around your food like a dirty fly that you have to keep swatting away!

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.

Omg, you've just reminded of a post somewhere, might have been here. The OP had just come home after finishing a very busy, long shift (might have been hospital), was starving so made some toast for herself. She hadn't taken a bite before her "D"H/P came slinking in with a pathetic, wheedling face, going all "Me have sum tooo?" She rammed the slice in his face. I would have done exactly the same, but my DH would never in a million years do that anyway. Still, that post made me feel rage by proxy!

lottiegarbanzo · 09/09/2023 20:39

You're being unreasonable to imagine it could possibly be unreasonable to want to eat your own food.

I'd LOVE to hear his definition of 'moral high ground'. I don't think he knows what the phrase means, or what morals are.

He just sounds like a selfish, childish, manipulative bastard.

Sorry OP.

FlamingoQueen · 09/09/2023 20:40

Tell him to fuck off - if you have any left, he may then eat it.

UnctuousUnicorns · 09/09/2023 20:40

Oh, and anyone who took a bite out of my sandwich, would get the whole thing flung in their face. Nobody eats my food, unless and until I've finished with it and am happy to let them have my leftovers. DH knows this.

YesitsBess · 09/09/2023 20:41

I've trained both of my children that my food is my personal stuff. I'm happy to report that I have a box of chocolates in the fridge, and my 5'10 rugby playing FOOD VORTEX of a son hasn't touched a single one without asking.

It's definitely a selfishness issue. I feed my son a lot more than I eat because he needs to eat more than I do. I offer him my food if I don't want it. But honestly I've had to be harsh about it but it has worked. So hopefully if he decides on living with another human being in the future, he won't be the dreaded food their.

Only if the OP doesn't wish to keep them for herself for another time!

Inkpotlover · 09/09/2023 20:44

Sorry to disappoint Mr GoudaMozzarella, the mums of MN can see you for the CF you are! Instead of nicking OP's pizza, either a) don't scoff yours so quickly and b) don't scoff yours so quickly.

cafenoirbiscuit · 09/09/2023 20:45

‘GOUDA DOESNT SHARE FOOD’ should cover it.

gearedup · 09/09/2023 20:45

My ex husband used to do this. He'd hoover up a pizza then ask me if I was going to finish mine when I was only quarter of the way through it. It was one of many things that annoyed me about him (this was at the relatively minor end of the scale, though).

Chippy4me · 09/09/2023 20:45

Of course YANBU to not want to give him the food you are still eating.

The only thing that’s more of a turn off than greedily scoffing your face and then trying to eat someone else’s food, is sulking like a child because of it.

I honestly don’t know how you’re still with this immature idiot.

fairyfluf · 09/09/2023 20:45

Can you make them next week and make his knob shaped?

CarrieMoonbeams · 09/09/2023 20:46

Jesus fucking H Christ, it must be like trying to eat your dinner with a bird of prey hovering!

The rule in my house is "touch my food, feel my fork" unless it's explicitly offered. Greedy wee shite!

KohlaParasaurus · 09/09/2023 20:46

Does your DH display such bad manners when other people are eating, or does he reserve it for you? It sounds like an attempt to display dominance, and pushing back against it is the right thing to do.

Meowandthen · 09/09/2023 20:46

Penis pizza portions?

housethatbuiltme · 09/09/2023 20:47

I'm more likely to finish a pizza than DH lol.

Due to allergies etc... we have opposite diets so theres very little cross over in sharing to be honest.

Probably good as I get 'hangry' apparently so DH would never cross me when it comes to food.

My mam famously use to stab people with a fork too. People learned quick.

TheGreatATuin · 09/09/2023 20:52

That's awful! It would ruin the meal for me. Instead of being able to just sit and enjoy my food, I'd be aware of him waiting for me to give it to him.
Tbh, if this were a newer boyfriend, I'd break it off over it. It is staggeringly rude and selfish.

Mistressanne · 09/09/2023 21:01

Me and dd like to serve ourselves food knowing we can have seconds if we wish.
Dh thought once we’d served ourselves he could finish the rest of the food in the pot regardless of the quantity.
It took a few heated debates but eventually dh learned to offer food to others before finishing it all. Also I used to put some aside for dd to take to work.
It wasn’t hunger on dh’s part, just pure greed.
