DP wants to buy food seperately

538 replies

NotTheBlinkingGruffaloAgain · 30/01/2012 20:37

Me and DP have lived together for 2 years but for the first year and a half we lived in a commune with 30 other people with a cooking rota.
Now we live in a cottage together (since last September) he is really annoying me, he wants us to buy our own food and do our own shopping.
But when I come home from work I find that he has been eating my food so I go to get breakfast and its gone.
It really pisses me off that he refuses to shop with me but when I'm out, he eats all my (good quality) food.
What can I do?
Tonight we got into a silly argument, I said look I want to start shopping together for food and he got angry saying you eat my pea nut butter and my bread, so petty ad juvenile. But I'm starting to resent him eating my food whilst refusing to pay for any of it AHHH help!

He has moved back to the buddhist community and spends time getting stoned with one of my neighbours so I feel I had a lucky escape

You certainly did.

Yay! I remember you. Well done, love. Grin I ditched my Buddhist as well in 2012, best thing I've ever done. [note: I have nothing against Buddhists really, just petulant self-obsessed ones].

I followed this the first time around - as well as the subsequent posts.

I was so glad you ditch the egg manchild and it's great to hear you are getting on well without him!

Is he still eggbound ?

No once Id made my mind up he just said he'd leave there was a very sad and painful month of seperate rooms and sorting out money etc, no raised voices just tears and love.
He has moved back to the buddhist community and spends time getting stoned with one of my neighbours so I feel I had a lucky escape, I wish him the best.
He wasnt a bad guy just kind of immature.
My new rl is great but Im not rushing that one!

So pleased to hear the happy ending, Gruff - well done! I see you're still living in the same place, but with a friend - was it hard to oust XP or did he go voluntarily in the end?
