H always ripping open a load of bread in the middle

[coffleecup]

Is just infuriating ?

Why would a person think this is acceptable ?

I've mentioned it so many times, but it continues.

Absolute barbarian.

Omg seperate loaves from today. Leave his, exactly how he leaves it. Not a word drops from your lips.

A bit unnecessary and idiotic, sorry OP.
😠

Oooo- this would really really annoy me too.

I would ask him if this is some kind of pathetic attempt to reassert his masculinity and strength as in a "Argh - me caveman that can rip open flimsy plastic with my bare hands".

Perhaps going to the gym or testosterone replacement therapy might be a better alternative than having bread go stale early. Either that or just accept that he has to let it go or LTB.

😱

What is wrong with him? That is horrifying!

Hide the bread. If he can't act like a decent human he doesn't get bread.

Or if you'd rather a more practical but very irritating manchild solution then remove the tag and put a clip on instead when you buy the bread.

Separate loaves wouldn't work. The hand if DH would just use either. Special containers wouldn't work, he wouldn't put it back

It really triggers me arghh

Omg hahahaha no! Why would anyone do that ?!? Bonkers

That’s so wasteful and actually quite rude!

Why is he tearing into the middle of the packet like that, can’t he just use scissors? And never mind the way he opens it, why is he then leaving a whole loaf of bread out on the side/table etc to go stale?

Why is putting it away and clearing things up once he’s used them somehow not his job? Is he contemptuous and bone idle in other ways too?

This would honestly make me feel so cross.

My DH used to do this to cereal boxes too but I’ve taught him now! Other lessons include: using a spoon to make coffee and not just pouring it straight from the canister, fully removing the foil off jars like Nutella so the little bits of foil don’t get in it other time, and not using his buttery knife in jams etc

That is also very strange behaviour! I know they are not completely raw but for some reason I thought crumpets were a bit like parbaked bread? Maybe I have got the wrong end of the stick, but even so they would just be so cold and stodgey??
This thread is a very interesting (disturbing) insight into human nature..

His 'n' hers loaves won't work - the OP would still come down in the morning to the sight of a burst package of bread spread all over the worktop! She would be itching to re-seal to stop if going stale and being wasted.

I think words need to be said over the weekend and a fresh start on Monday - give the savage him one last chance.

Have you phoned the police? I feel your pain, mine is a savage also.

I think that would actually drive me nuts as well. It's one of those weird things you just don't do man. Does he say why he does it when asked? Is it just an impatient thing?

Opening the bag properly isn't remotely difficult and doesn't need fingernails (or a second X chromosome) to achieve. I just take one end of the tag in each hand and pull them apart. 🤷‍♂️

If my partner kept doing this then (i) they'd better have some other redeeming features and (ii) if they did, I'd consider opening the bread in advance and re-fastening it with one of those bag clips instead. There's no reason you should have to, but it might salvage your sanity if you think that would help?

I'd keep my own secret stash of bread, and every time he wants some, offer him some stale bread and/or tell him there's none left because someone let it go stale. The tags aren't that much a faff.

Ooh this is my first chance to say LTB. No one should have to live with this level of depravity. I told dp that we would have to separate if he kept on with digging big lumps out of the butter instead of a smooth glide across with the knife. He upped his game, so we are fine.

Could you rip open say his favourite magazine in similar fashion?

Found my people

Not the bread thing - as that would send me over the edge - but:

Peeling open packs of ham and not resealing or putting cling film on
Ripping cereal boxes
Leaving 1 (or sometimes 0) bags of crisps in the multipack
Cutting open reasealable packs of wraps
Being unable to seal up grated cheese bag - with an easy seal!

Aaaaaaggggghhhhh. Now that was cathartic!

What an arse! Mine opens multiple boxes of the same cereal. So we constantly have several half empty boxes on the go.

He also puts about 5 items in the dishwasher (without rinsing) and turns it on.

Never cleans the cat’s food bowls.

Puts huge loads of washing on that don’t spin properly and then slings the soaking wet washing in the dryer without putting it on spin.

Also thinks half dry clothes can be put away in cupboards.

He does his fair share of housework and cooking so he’s pretty good on the whole but the washing machine things gives me the absolute rage!!!

You are kidding right? If you can't get the tie open with your fingers use the tip of a knife, you don't need to rip open the entire bag.

I get this kinda crazy lol.. I open the bread and put my hand half way down the middle and take a slice! No idea why I do it..

LTB

Fucking hell @NCForQuestions did we marry the same person?
Totally up for the daft husband bashing. Rolls sleeves up.
