To have drunk his cider?

I was planning to have a couple of ciders tonight but forgot it was Sunday and the shop was closed so I looked in the fridge and saw a bunch of of ciders and I looked on top of the fridge and saw a crate of ciders.

Realising I would probably pay more at the coop I decided to drink 2 of the ciders in the fridge which could easily be replaced.
DH is now really angry at me for stealing the cider that he was not going to drink tonight anyway.
AIBU to think as a married couple I should not be accused of theft over this?
I have not even drank the second one as he moaned at me having seen I poured it so I have left it on the side and gone to bed.

Anything he buys is for him and him only but anything I buy is for the family so it’s just about it belonging to him

That’s your issue and you need to give him the same treatment if only for a short burst so he can experience joe pathetic it is. I’m assuming you’re the one who does the main shop every week so when he does buy something it’s so out of the realms of norm it must be treated as sacrosanct because he handed the shopkeeper his 50p (sarcasm intended).

This is what a child or young teenager would do.

What a pathetic arse.

Bizarre behaviour. Is he a dick in other ways?

YANBU that is a complete and utter overreaction on his part it was a couple of cans of cider that can easily be replaced with the same money in the joint account that bought them in the first place.

Well it depends if was the ops cider and he drank it she would be told about all the red flags and she needs to leave

She drinks his and 'what is his problem' isn't there another thread about a man eating a woman food?

Why is ok of for a woman to do it and not a man?

Your husband is being massively unreasonable and selfish. Firstly, for reacting that way over a couple of cans of cider that you technically both paid for, and secondly, for buying Strongbow!

Have you recently been to Snape Maltings and vetoed his purchase of an side table handcrafted by artisans in Jaipur? Is that why he is sulking?

I’d pour every fucking can down the sink.

I dont think the having "his " cider is at all strange. I often buy things intended for me in the joint food shop, as does dh and we tell each other, and wouldn't eat/drink what the other had bought

Had there been no more cider , and he was planning on drinking them that night/before they could be replaced, I would understand his irritation

However, it sounds like he didn't want them all then and you could replace before he did so his reaction was uncalled for

I do think you were wasteful just leaving the cider and storming off to bed though. You had poured it so should have drank it. That was being petty

Because he bought it so it’s his. We share a bank account so if I want some I should buy my own.

this is where id be not buying him nothing at all... no bread, no butter, nothing that comes out the shopping trip i did (on my own). You want washing tablets - better go buy them, i bought these... either that or look at his behaviour with alcohol, did he have such a visceral reaction because it was alcohol?

There will be more to this than you as a one-off drinking some cider and DH as a one-off being angry about it.

Not necessarily… I had a ‘friend’ whose dh made the same remark about 6 chocolate biscuits being eaten from his packet.
it was said in a jokey way, but as kids her dh was quiet poor -,single parent family with lots of kids - so I think it’s a throw back to that.
@summertimesummershine
Did your dh and his family have little money as when he was growing up?
Had to make things last?
