To ask when its legally ok to do this.

[OneSharpGoose]

Four days ago I bought my husband and myself each a bar of chocolate . Mine was plain milk which he doesn't like and his is fruit and nut and its chocolate so I like it too. Anyway mine went within an hour of me getting home. The fruit and nut is still sitting in the fridge lonely very much on view but untouched. AIbu to take a piece, as DH obviously isn't interested? ( who would leave a bar of chocolate untouched for four days?) When legally can I take it back? Is leaving chocolate uneaten so long a red flag? Should I LTB ? If so can I take the chocolate with me?

Massively hankering for some Fruit & Nut now…

Chocolate should ALWAYS be stored in the fridge, whatever the weather! 😁

Hahahaha. Eat mine? Like that would happen. To take a piece of my chocolate he'd have to put his hand down my throat while I was eating it. I don't put my chocolate down. I eat it. That's what it's for.

Yeah - my OH always makes it very clear if it’s his (not to be eaten), to be shared (don’t finish it) or up for grabs (rare!)

I’d be raging if you ate my chocolate!

He’s testing you! He wants to see if you’ll cave in!! I would be cautious! 🤣

Divorce him. All marital assets are split down the middle.

You are a genius. I want you in my gang

I'm disgusted with your husband for his wanton neglect of his chocolate.
In this scenario, there can only be one path...emancipate the chocolate, screaming "Free at last!" and eat it in the most hyperbolic manner possible.
Record the chocolate's liberation and its consumption, sending the video to your husband whilst you enjoy a sugar rush.

I had not thought of that. Life can be very cruel

It takes me ages to eat anything nice ,I always save it for ages ..I'd be very upset if someone ate something I was looking forward to eating at a later date .
Sometimes I still have Christmas chocolate left at Easter .

I’m hear you sister. Definitely LTB. He’s clearly trying to gaslight you into thinking he doesn’t want it just so that he can use it against you for all eternity if you do eat it. He knows exactly what he’s doing you know. Mine did this once with Galaxy. I mean seriously wtf?? I left him and cleaned the fridge out too.

It is legally okay when there is an A in the day and as today is FridAy you are well within your rights to eat it.

Does that mean I get half the kids. And can I choose which one I want?

Are we married to the same man!? Keeps chcolate in the fridge and take a fucking month to eat it. Drives me mad as I've always eaten my treats. Sometimes il open some buiscuits he asks me to save him some then I watch while they sit half open for weeks..

OMG, OP, we are on page 3 and no teeny-tinies have appeared to accuse you of 'guzzling' or 'gorging' a whole bar of chocolate, thus single-handedly bringing the NHS to its knees. And then tell you how one sniff would have lasted them till Christmas.

What has MN come to?

Marital discord on the way! Mitigate by post-consumption, apologising, and promising to replace. Not all promises have to be kept. Half-life (t½) is a fundamental concept in various scientific fields, particularly in physics, promises, chemistry, and biology. It represents the time for half of a given quantity of a substance to transform into something else.

I keep chocolate in the fridge all the year round because both DP and I much prefer it chilled so it snaps nicely. It doesn't 'need' to be in the fridge but some people just prefer it like that.

OP, if I were in your position I'd probably have eaten the second bar of chocolate by tea time on the day you brought it home!

My boyfriend is also a chocolate in the fridge weirdo!

I had a similar issue a few months ago when we visited a Lindt store and did the pic n mix. Filled a bag each of about 12 different flavoured lindor balls. Divine. I ate mine across two nights and my boyfriend just…didn’t. Weeks later they were still in the fridge, staring at me every time I opened it. Eventually I couldn’t let them sit there any longer so lifted them out the fridge one morning, hid them, and ate them that evening when they were back at room temperature and he was out playing football!

You’re looking at this all wrong. Do you really want your kids growing up thinking it’s normal to keep chocolate in the fridge?! Is this how you want them to treat their own chocolate?

Obviously if he is going to mis-treat the chocolate, you’ve got to put it back to room temperature. Once the poor thing has recovered, you can demolish.
Not only in the fridge this time of year, but left there for days. It’s just not right.

Give your head a wobble and get some perspective.

( who would leave a bar of chocolate untouched for four days?)

Errr, I left an Easter egg untouched for 6 months and then binned it.

Our boys thought I was an alien.

Ask him if you can have a bit? You shouldn't just take it if it was meant to be his. Buy another one for yourself? You don't need to buy any more for him until he eats that one.

This point of view drives me nuts!

My husband operates on some arbitrary time frame that is only in his head about eating my half of something. If I've not eaten my half of a bar of chocolate in whatever time frame he deems suitable he eats it without asking... I hate it, it's mine and I'll eat it when I want to!

Keep your paws off OP.

I think so too

Do what I do…eat the whole thing, then replace it, but make him share it with you as keeping it all to himself is just plain selfish.
