DP wants to buy food seperately

539 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!

Yay! Thomas is no more!! Way to go Gruffalo Grin

BerylStreep · 04/02/2013 22:30

Gruffalo, I have just read all 507 messages, and only realised at about 450 that your OP was from a year ago! Blush

I was shouting at the screen, and wanted to shake you so you would wake from your trance.

I am absolutely delighted to see that a year on, you are doing well. What happened to the man-child chicco?

kalidanger · 04/02/2013 22:32

Is this the eggs guy? Grin

kalidanger · 04/02/2013 22:32

Was this the eggs guy, I mean Grin

Cluffyfunt · 04/02/2013 22:34

Go you!

I remember this thread and am so glad you're doing well Smile

BerylStreep · 04/02/2013 22:34

Wow, 40 eggs a week! Don't get me wrong, I adore eggs, I really do, but I limit myself to 15 a week. 40 a week is Paul Newman territory.

AKissIsNotAContract · 04/02/2013 22:37

Nice to see a happy update. I remember this thread too, that year has gone fast.

Lovingfreedom · 04/02/2013 22:40

Golly, I've had a whole wonderful-then-failed relationship since this thread started Hmm

Glad you stayed at your place, OP. it sounds lovely Smile

kittybiscuits · 04/02/2013 22:49

Yay gruffalo I read this earlier and didn't realise it was a year old. It was like a Dallas waking up and it had all been a dream moment.

willybreeder · 04/02/2013 22:52

Brilliant! A happy ending. I remember bring shocked then laughing at different parts of your old thread

trixymalixy · 04/02/2013 23:06

Good for you! And thanks for coming back and updating.

garlicblocks · 04/02/2013 23:44

It's great to read your update, Gruffalo - thank you! :)

Walkacrossthesand · 05/02/2013 08:01

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?

gruffaloshild · 06/02/2013 14:17

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!

AnyFucker · 06/02/2013 15:07

Is he still eggbound ?

DragonMamma · 06/02/2013 15:19

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!

garlicblocks · 06/02/2013 15:31

AF Grin Full of shit, emits smelly gas ... yup!
