Order what you want and don’t eat others unless offered!

[Eqei]

Just a lighthearted one…

A debate came up between me and dh. I wanted to see what others think.

here’s the backstory.
I love my food, I have a good appetite. So does dh.

we ordered burgers the other day. He decided he just wanted a burger, no fries, no drink.
I love a fountain drink (pregnancy craving too!) and fries are a must.
so I order a whole meal, regret not ordering a large in hindsight lol

so we order, have our food. He gets his double cheeseburger and finishes it. I’m eating my burger and fries… he then proceeds to take a few gulps of my drink and almost half my fries.

I made the point that if he wanted some he should’ve ordered them himself!!!
his response was he didn’t want any at the time…
my response is.. I never do it to him, I always order mine and eat mine. I wouldn’t take his food without asking or being offered (I did not offer!)
he agreed, he said I never do that and he’s grateful for it (the cheek!)

obviously this isn’t a make or break situation, just light hearted. I’m not a monster who kicked off. I just made the point that you should order your own sides!
it’s not that I can’t share, I ordered just enough of what I wanted - could’ve got some sharing fries and another drink if I knew he was going to do this!

AIBU or is he?

Is that you Smithy?

You do not take fries from a pregnant woman. Does the man have a death wish??

Right?! 😂

LTB

Has he replaced them yet?

Let me be the first to say JOEY DOESNT SHARE FOOD

Taking food from a pregnant woman? 😱 I'll bet he doesn't make that mistake again! 😈

Surely he could have just gone and ordered his own?! If he made the decision not to order them in the first place he needs to deal with it or go get extra, not take yours 😂

My DH does this - when all I want is a crispy iced coke from a fountain machine, he gets a burger and no drink. Then proceeds to enjoy my crispy coke? It's diabolical.

YANBU!

Plainly a case of LTB.

Brave man risking a fork stab...

I believe you'd be well within your rights to stab him

Your responses are so funny thanks all!!!

im new so what is LTB??

September 1973.
Boyfriend, now DH, took a large bight of my pork pie, uninvited.
I still remember the absolute rage that came over me.😡
Ashamed to say that I lost it and threw what was left of said pie away. 😩
Which made no sense at all.
Over 50 years later we can just about manage to have a laugh about it, him more so than me, but safe to say the 'sharing' of unoffered food has never happened again. 😀

I believe that the extreme provocation murder defence covers this.

"Madam, you are charged with the murder of your husband in McDonald's. How do you plead?"
"He helped himself to half my fries uninvited!"
"Case closed! You're free to go."

I am firmly team ‘Joey doesn’t share food.’ Kill him.

Leave the bastard 😂

Not only do I not share my food I don’t like my food touched by anyone but me. I will share with DH if he asks and my DD but rarely.

@Eqei I assume you'll be building a new patio in the back garden....

Sounds like a good way to end up with a fork in the back of his hand.

Is this really “light-hearted?” Or were you actually “fuming?”

i wasn’t fuming at all, I may have been usually but I somehow was very calm lol

Omg I think my husband would lose a finger if he tried that with my chips 😒

The only thing YABU about is allowing him to eat that much of your food while reasoning with him about how it's not on!

If/when you go again & he says I don't want fries/drink/whatever you state categorically You are not having any of mine. Do you want to change your order???
If he insists no then you keep your stuff well out of his reach. And do not let the greedy bugger have any.

DH used to do this in McDonalds notice I say used to. He never wanted fries but would eat half mine and couldn't understand the death stare he would get. Now I just order him some and still he says "but I only wanted a few' what part of me wanting a full portion was so difficult to understand? stupid arse.
