DH stole from me

At the weekend DH and I went to Knaresborough for a day out - famous for its sausage rolls and pork pies. I don’t like pork pies so I was very much looking forward to the lovely sausage rolls we bought in the bakery. It wasn’t a sausage roll, it was a bean roll but these are just as famous and they looked delicious. DH gobbled his up immediately whereas I took mine home to eat later in comfort of my own home.

later that evening, I wanted to try it but didn’t want the whole thing so I ripped a bit off the end to eat and kept the rest wrapped up in the fridge ready to eat today. I was very much looking forward to it. At lunch time I put my soup on and went to get the sausage roll - it wasn’t there. I messaged DH and he didn’t reply (coward) so I called his work place who went to find him. He denied it at first but eventually admitted to running off with it this morning. I’m gutted. I know it’s a small thing and it’s just a sausage roll but it’s the disrespect, the lies, the outright disregard for my feelings. Latest in a long line of events. Icing on the cake.

I have told him he has no moral compass and the bastard has gone to look up moral compass on yahoo to prove that it’s not a thing. I want it replaced. At the very least I want an apology. AIBU to refuse to cook him dinner or make him coffee until he apologises and promises to replace it.

That’s absolutely not how leftovers work in this house.

Here we say “is it ok for me to take the <insert item> in the fridge or did you have it earmarked for something?”

I have my food planned for the week. Someone taking my thing when they’d eaten theirs would get right on my pip.

I’ve not come across that in a family before. In a flat share or an office yes, in those situations you obviously don’t ever eat “someone else’s” food without asking. But in a family peoples food isn’t normally kept separate is it? Unless it’s like mum’s special chocolates that she always gets as a treat and everyone knows not to touch them.

This is a leftover from a day out that was abandoned after one bite three days ago. Husband made a mistake, thought it was unwanted and it turns out it wasn’t.

To make a drama about it at his work and then start a thread called “DH STOLE FROM ME” like he’s emptied her bank account is just a ludicrous overreaction unless there’s a backstory we are unaware of.

I know right? You don’t do that so it can’t possibly happen. Even though someone says that’s how it happens in their family. Ok.

Am gobsmacked to think 69%of people think this excessive fuss over a sausage roll is acceptable and reasonable. Especially as it involved texting DH 6 times while he was at work and then phoning him to tell him off for eating said roll!!Mild irritation is to be expected but how 70%think it ok is beyond me.
