To think DH should not have finished my dessert

[Mamma47448]

I bought a tiramisu from a supermarket yesterday. It was maybe 10 cm squared.

DH doesn’t usually buy desserts, he prefers to make them fresh. So I buy for myself and offer him some and sometimes he says yes. I think of them as mine though I’m usually happy to share. We don’t have a dessert every night.

I ate about 20% of it yesterday - it was delicious but it’s pretty rich and few spoonfuls are enough. I cut another 20% today after dinner for myself. I reminded DH we had tiramisu if he wanted some.

Baby was crying so I rushed through the tiramisu and went to settle them. I came back to find the rest of the tiramisu had gone! DH said I had eaten “half” (!) (Tbf he probably didn’t know I had some yesterday) so he had the other “half”. I’d been thinking I was going to save some for tomorrow. I’ve just looked at the box and it says it is 4 portions.

Is it fair to think of the desserts as mine? (DH is very generous with his baking but he’d definitely comment if I scoffed down most of his biscuits or whatever.)

Was it fair for DH to eat the rest of what I thought was my dessert?

Would it have been fair for me to have three portions (one yesterday, one today, one tomorrow) while DH has just one?

Semi-lighthearted. I’ll provide a bit more context later.

If it was the Tescos one, once I start I can't stop! He would be lucky I'd left some!!! 🤣

I'm a bit nuts when it comes to dessert so by default I'll say YANBU 🤣

Actually, it's 5 by 5 but seeing as you were writing late in the evening you can be forgiven 😉

Especially given how light tiramisu is. Much of it's air!

I can't relate to eking out 20 percent of a tiramisu that's only 4.7 x 2.36 inches, across a few nights. Isn't that the size of a normal slice?

It all sounds very tight and begrudging.

It is really maddening when someone eats the last of the thing you were looking forward to enjoying, I know. One of the many little annoyances I don't have to worry about now that I live alone!

"Stay your hand"! 🤣 Absolutely loving the drama of that statement! Now imagining OP popping out from behind the fridge when her DH gets the munchies again, sword held aloft, highwayman outfit on, a la Adam Ant, "STAY YOUR HAND, SIR! Unhand my dessert at once!"

Lol, I was thinking it sounded delicious 😋

🤣🤣🤣

Maybe us women should take a leaf out of their books and think about satisfying ourselves more, too.

OP says it's 12cm square, which is 4.7 inches square.

You could "never" eat a piece of tiramisu that's 2.3 inches square? Really?? Tiramisu is light as a feather. 2.3 inches square is a "never could finish that" size?

You told him it was there and you had eaten half, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to think the other half was for him.

How is anyone entertaining this

imagine being married to a woman like this!?!?? Like what the actual.
You actually decided to post this 😭

Sixteen. Obvs!

Greediness is really not attractive 🤢 and he has form 🤢

Such a nice comment. Imagine being married to someone as mean as you. Are you mean to people’s faces too or is it ok and harmless just because you’re anonymous? Maybe you should take a look at yourself and your own life and ask if this is the person you really want to be.

Just a bit fed up with people trying to shame me because I made a frivolous post. I was a bit grumpy that it was all gone and I wanted to vent and I was over it as soon as I posted. It then dragged out for a while because some of the replies were entertaining and I was kept awake by my baby anyway.

For what’s it’s worth I hadn’t planned to get another but I opened the fridge this evening and DH had bought me another one! We’re celebrating a milestone anniversary together too. :)

Mean?!
You couldn’t share a dessert that you initially offered your husband. Yes I am so mean.

Well he sounds genuinely very nice. Hope thats a resolution.
If this was a jokey post fair enough but it wasn’t obvious.
The way you threw in sizes and calcs, I apologise I did find bizarre!

That's a tiramisu-per outcome 😀 🍰

This whole post is so adorable!

Of course he was daft to eat it all and you were daft to react so strongly, but in reality if I'd had my heart set on a treat at a particular time I'd act daft too if I'd discovered my OH ate it all! Treats are special.

It warmed my heart to see that he's replaced it with another one. His wise recovery actions probably saved you both thousands in divorce solicitors fees ;)

You asked him if he wanted it?

Well I'm even more mental because we have his and hers food! There's my yoghurt which is kefir and Greek and there's his which is a different kind of Greek. We have loads of separate things when it comes to food and it's because he will scoff down the whole of something in seconds flat whereas I eat the same "normal" amount daily. If we shared the same stuff I forever be getting annoyed and upset that he's eaten too much or all of something. So to avoid discord we have our own. Try it, it's great!
