I’m not going to be openly annoyed at DH this morning!

[TwoCoffeesPlease]

Just DH and I until about 11. Agreed to having a lazy morning so he’s not up yet which is fine.

Came downstairs to find he has eaten 3/4 of a pate, most of the remaining Brie and a whole packet of Parma ham. I don’t mind him eating these things, they were bought for snacking and just enjoying and I did tell him yesterday that anything in the fridge was now fair game as I had used everything that was needed for a Christmas dish or contribution.

BUT

These are all things I also like! He hasn’t eaten any of the things I don’t like!

I think in his brain he will have thought:

• Gorgonzola wasn’t open didn’t want to open another packet
• I deliberately saved you some pate and Brie and that’s why there is some left

But I am a bit peed off! Not going to raise it and pick a stupid argument on Christmas morning when we want to have a nice day though - hence venting here!!

The reason I’m annoyed is that so much of the treats I also like have already gone!

He’s getting up in 10 minutes - I. Must. Not. Pick. A. Fight. On. Christmas. Morning.

Gluttony aside, DH is usually a wonderful a thoughtful man

So you told him to eat anything he fancied and he did… yabu

buy extras of snacks you both like and less of things you don’t 🤷‍♀️

You should have bought double the amount!

But don't do that whole passive aggressive simmering resentment thing will you?

Just open more cheese.

@Honeyglazed yes I know I just didn’t think so much of it would already be gone!🤣

I know what I said which is why I’m not going to bring it up…but on the 27th we will now be going to Lidl for more cheese and pate 🙈🙈

Shops round here reopen tomorrow. Buy some more?

You told him they were for snacking and enjoying and he's snacked on them and enjoyed them! And left you some! What a great DP you've got. Follows instructions and thinks about you too. He's a keeper.

@RolyPolyBatFacedGirl i promise I’m not going to, in fact I’m off to make him a coffee

If he is usually thoughtful, then don't pick a fight. Maybe say something along the lines of "I don't think we bought enough brie and pate. Shall we have a walk tomorrow and pick some more up in the way home?"

Man eats some of the cheese. This should be in Classics.

He’s awake - one of the first things he said to me was “I saved you some Brie last night”. I think he means well, IABU to be annoyed we’ll just get some more.

Merry Christmas to all!

He hasn’t eaten any of the things I don’t like!
Why have you bought stuff you don't like?

@Whataretheodds because they are some of his favourites!

I assumed he would eat the stuff I don’t like preferentially as I know it is stuff he really likes and there would me more of the stuff I do like for me…but I know I know people aren’t mind readers

Ask him to leave you the rest of the stuff you like and more can be bought on 27th. Next time you know what to dial up on

What a very strange thread

DH is a good guy. OP is whinging about him.

You said eat what you want get over it jeeez

next year just buy what you both like and less gorganzola. you are just annoyed that your fridge is disturbed!

Sometimes a secret stash is the way to go! We all get snackier around these days! Have a lovely day.

Relax. It's Christmas. 🥂
Supermarkets are open again tomorrow.
