DH hiding his Christmas chocolate

This is not a massive deal in the scheme of things but my partner and I have such different takes on the situation I want to see what others think…
As part of DH’s Christmas gift I bought him some chocolate bars. Today I was sorting out some of the stuff we’d stored in his wardrobe while hosting folks for Christmas and found the chocolate hidden in here. I received many boxes of chocolates, bottles of wine and gift vouchers to me personally from friends and family which I wouldn’t dream of hiding away or not sharing. They are in the kitchen and DH has enjoyed most of them with me already, as I’d expect. I asked him why he kept the chocolates here and he said they were his gift and just for him so why should he share them. It’s given me the ick tbh, AIBU?!

We don't hide Christmas chocolates but everyone understands the rules. Chocolates given from one person to another are theirs alone. Group ones are for everyone. So Freddos sent by Granny to DS are his, tin of quality street from my employers are for everyone.

I know this is an old thread, but here are my two cents:

  • If you're happy to share your Christmas chocolates with DH, then that's a lovely thing to do
  • If he wants to eat his Christmas chocolates, that's also absolutely fine

Me and my DH occasionally share, but when it comes to chocolate what's his is mine his and what's mine is mine.

I hide all my chocolate otherwise I’d never get to have any of it.

This is 100% normal in this house - his treats are his and our treats are everyone's!
It's just a weird squirrelly thing and much teasing is deserved.
He's very generous in almost every other way though 😂
