To be cringed out by this (re sharing a takeaway)

[Cloudyonasunnyday]

When me and partner get a takeaway and share it he is obsessive over making sure we get half each, he will literally count pieces of chicken in a curry for example - how would this make you feel ?

I do that and spoon feed him. 😁

I agree it is strange to actually count the pieces. I do however feel compelled to tell you I once posted about my partner at the time eating a curry I'd prepared for the family which contained 5 chicken breasts and was told I wasn't providing him with enough food which was clearly why he HAD to eat the whole thing 😂😂

LOL, I feast on bread and tomatoes for lunch, so when the time for dinner comes, I am feeling very full and all I can eat is not much anyway.....may be should put it this way

He sounds like a tight wad. How does paying the normally work? Do you take turns or is it always let's split the bill or do you pay more often than him?

Yes bills are split VERY equally

I always eat before I attend the takeaway so that I'll be so full I can't eat anything and all the men will think I have such a dainty and delicate birdlike appetite. I need to make sure I'm laced into my stays first though; if I ate before that, the servants couldn't lace me tight enough to fit the dress.

I think the answer is, what would happen if there 9 bits of chicken in the curry, or another odd number, would he let it slide or cut it in half 😂

Probably get the ruler out...

Protractor when slicing cake?

I always count the chicken in a curry one for him, one for me. He can get to fuck if he thinks he’s eating more chicken than me 🤣🤣. Plus, our Indian is stingy, every piece counts lol.

What an absolute weirdo. How many dates in did he start this?

You, too? The things we do...😁

He sounds like he wants you to be housemates not partners.

ha ok miss skinny

Well at least he’s not eating more than half.

Shared some pasta parcels last night with my Dh - the nice big ones- and i counted those out. Maybe I will be served divorce papers tomorrow

Next take away. Open the bag and just take what you fancy. Make sure to take slightly more of something. And less of something else.

See what he does. I want to know if he’d take something off your plate.

And then as posted before, start counting the rice grains if he does.

And say your bank card isn’t working.

That’s quite different to picking out pieces of chicken in a curry 🤣

But you do know that everyone is different, right? I can and do eat as much as my DH and no, I’m not remotely over weight. No “penis portions” in my house!

I think it depends on the takeaway. Some only have about 4 pieces of meat, so it would be totally reasonable to count them out to make sure everyone got a fair portion. If it's an enormous portion with loads of meat then less so.

I would much rather have a partner than did that then end up with a plate of mostly sauce because no particular care was taken.

Was about to say the same.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 give over

Eh, if he's splitting it in half, I don't think I'd be bothered. I try to split things evenly when I'm sharing with someone. If they're small pieces of chicken I probably would just eyeball it, but larger ones? Yes, I'd count. Didn't realise that was a problem for some people.

(Unrelated, but I often have a bigger appetite than my husband.)

Thats 100% come from childhood

I’m a bit like this, it’s out of fairness not being tight or petty or anything like that, for example if making beans on toast and DH and I share a tin of those baked beans that have sausages in them, usually the tin has 12 sausages in, I’ll always specifically dish out 6 per person to be fair..
