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.

My friend went to Luxembourg and said it was just like Knaresborough. I don't know. I haven't been to Luxembourg but I have been to Knaresborough. I didn't have a sausage roll though. Or a bean one.

I live near Knaresborough and have been to Luxembourg a couple of times, and can confirm they are nothing like each other apart from having a river at the bottom of a cliff.

OP was it from Hirsts?

Sunshineismyfavourite · 27/08/2025 21:22

I think you are very unreasonable to have chosen a sausage roll with the sausage removed and beans in its place.

Seriously though, if my DH ate my speciality sausage roll then I would be mad too - my DH also has form for this sort of thing which drives me mad. Usually I ask him if he wants a snack, crisps, chocolate etc - he says no, so I buy for myself, then he proceeds to eat the half bag of Doritos I've left in the cupboard for another day.

Fontet · 27/08/2025 21:23

Life is too short...smile and laugh about it. I am sure he enjoyed. He can take you out for a nice meal as an apology. 🤗

PyongyangKipperbang · 27/08/2025 21:23

This is 100% NOT about the sausage roll is it?

The sausage roll is just the final straw.

Its the "dish left next to the dishwasher" story.

Yes, Hirsts.

update - thank you for the replies DH has finally apologised and we’re going back to Knaresborough on Saturday to get some more.

I agree & sympathise with you OP. I have hidden various treats of mine & DC’s in alsorts of places as H never gets the idea however much I’ve complained/yelled/asked/pleaded. To b fair he did go to boarding sch. aged 6 & all the kids were always starving! (so really should know not to steal others stuff?).
Hope you get your other sausage/bean roll 😊

I genuinely don't understand these fights and resentment over who ate what food in a marriage.
Maybe I have been through a bit more in life.

That, and the compulsory texting all day.
I swear there are thirty-year old teenagers going about, marrying, reproducing, and stashing pasties from each other, and nobody even alerts Childline.

charlieandthechocolatfactory · 27/08/2025 21:38

Are you joking 😂

Strawberrydelight78 · 27/08/2025 21:38

It's a sausage roll he probably thought of she's only had 1 bite didn't like it so left the rest of it for him. Totally unreasonable to ring him at work and order him to the phone over a sausage roll. 🤔🙄

This sounds like weak parenting of a spoilt child having a tantrum.

If he’d had answered my texts I wouldn’t have had to call work

historyismything82 · 27/08/2025 21:43

@Odonje I don't mean to be insensitive but you have made me chuckle. Calling the man at work to interrogate him over a missing sausage roll is hilarious. Girl after my own heart 🤣🤣

cryinglaughing · 27/08/2025 21:48

Can't believe you called him at work about a sausage roll, that is hilarious 😂. I wonder if he told his work mates why you rang.

My dh ate some Maltesers I bought for myself, he allegedly doesn't eat chocolate 🙄, so I never buy him any.
I didn't make him feel bad but next time he went shopping, he bought me a bigger bag than I'd bought. Happy days!

babyproblems · 27/08/2025 21:50

My DH would’ve eaten it much, much quicker. No way would it have lasted three days (?!) in the fridge.
I don’t know what I should do about the fact my DH is very greedy or what you should do about your marriage.. If I was you, next time I’d buy several and I’d say THIS ONE IS MINE very firmly. If it was eaten anyway I would expect DH to go and buy me another.

Glowstickparty · 27/08/2025 21:53

Yes annoying but you called his work place?! I’m not sure who is worse.

TheLette · 27/08/2025 21:55

When I started dating my OH, we were having some cheese and crackers and I had prepared a cracker for myself with just the right amount of cheese. He ate it, and claimed it was an accident. I will never forgive him.

I’d be more annoyed about someone calling me at work over a trivial issue that could have been discussed when I got home

Ye are as bad as each other

NicolaSturgeon · 27/08/2025 22:01

I used to have a boss who behaved like this, except with him it was Gregg's maccy pehs. Completely infuriating. I could write an entire book about it.

Luxembourg is pretty but absolutely FULL of spiders.

BallerinaRadio · 27/08/2025 17:20

You called his work place and made them go get him come to the phone... For a sausage roll. That's quite something.

There's that, sure-but him looking it up on Yahoo was the bit that got me.

Scentedjasmin · 27/08/2025 22:08

He took the icing off the cake too?!! Definitely LTB!!

What is maccy pehs?
Is it a spelling mistake.

I don't frequent Gregg's, so can't even begin to guess what it could be.

I have no more room under my patio but its drying up nicely now . My DH bought Twirls instead of Ripples last week and I had him frogmarched from the golf course by the course captain .

But…but…you can’t top the taste of a Twirl.

Knaresborough, is that where mother Upton (think that's what her name was) lived in a cave? And where that mineral well thing is that concretes everything?

Shipton.
