Husband licks his dinner plate after eating

[letmeeatcakes]

Not every meal and only when we have our family dinner but sometimes when he has finished eating he will pick his plate up and lick it clean!! I find this totally gross and have told him but this time i told him he was worse than a dog. My daughter thinks my comments were callous!! AIBU and just let him do this if it makes him happy? Only does it at home!

That made my stomach flip..🤮
As said in Doric dialect NE Scotland.
Gads min!!

I flipping love licking the plate - all the nice sauce just sitting there, can’t let it go to waste. Obviously not at restaurants or in polite company but I think it’s fine when you’re just at home.

That is gross

I would put his dinner in a trough in the garden.

If it upsets you he shouldn't do it.

If you don't mind if you can't see, he shouldn't do it where you can't see.

He's an idiot if he carries on. These things give you the ick.

LTB 😆

He has children-they need to learn from a better role model with more emotional intelligence.

My dogs would look ashamed if they were caught trying to lick a plate. I’d find plate licking revolting and couldn’t sit and watch that, he’d be told in no uncertain terms how disgusting he is. I couldn’t be in a relationship with someone who has manners like this.

That’s absolutely disgusting.

How the hell are you still married?

That is feral. I could not stay married to someone with such appalling table manners.

I had a friend that did this after ribs. Ive never eaten ribs since yuk

Mine drinks the last milk out of his cereal bowl! I have told him if he’d done it when we first met there woukd have been no 2nd date!

My partner's XW and her family do that even in restaurants. It's absolutely vile.

What’s wrong with that?

Exactly, it's cute. He loves his dinner!

My dh asked me if I'd mind if he licked his plate when there was loads of sauce once. As he asked I didn't mind. Still does it now but has good table maners with others or out and about so don't mind.

Just say No

Wouldn’t like him farting in my presence but licking plate is fine with me.

I do this sometimes ….luckily I don’t have a partner…maybe that’s why?

I think there’s a time and a place. If you don’t like it then he probably shouldn’t do it in front of you.

Is he a dog in disguise? Yuk. Total yuk. Does his mother know he does this? What sort of upbringing has he had? I’d never have married him. Ugh!

I occasionally lick my plate but I wouldn't do it in company.
The cat is disgusted by it.

I think you were humiliating calling your husband a dog in front of your daughter. I am sure posters wouldn't take that kindly if genders were reversed- they would call it verbal abuse.
Why can't he eat the way he wishes in his own house? He doesn't do it always and doesn't do in public. I think you are extremely rude.

That’s disgusting.

How does the cat show its disgust?

Oh no, that is disgusting.
