DP cross there's no food

My DP of 4 years has just had a go at me because there is no food in the house. He doesn't actually live with me.
He knows I do my food shopping on a Wednesday so am usually pretty low on a Tuesday.
He seemed really cross that there wasn't a huge menu of snacks available Confused
I just wanted to vent really

Why haven't you told him to start bringing a contribution towards all the food he eats at yours?

droopyears · 06/10/2020 19:39

@SeasonallySnowyPeasant He'll buy the odd take away but other than that no he doesn't contribute

4 years and not living together, so what he pops over for food and a fuxk? Is that enough for you OP, do you not want to be treated with kindness and consideration.

lockdownalli · 06/10/2020 19:46

@droopyears

He has dinner at mine most evenings but no he doesn't ever really bring food with him.
Seriously? Shock

He is taking the piss big time.

Self respect time OP - he is a user and you need to bin him. Flowers

Chloemol · 06/10/2020 19:47

So you feed him and he pays nothing?

I would be giving him a list and sending him to the shops and he can pay

AriettyHomily · 06/10/2020 19:47

And he couldn't get food because...?

TwilightSkies · 06/10/2020 19:49

Sounds like a selfish user. Only with you for what he can get from you.
Next!

NancyPickford · 06/10/2020 19:50

Why are you putting up with this? Eats for free at your place, and then complains that you're not providing snacks the day before your big shop?
You really have to reconsider why you are being such a mug and a doormat.

Coffeecak3 · 06/10/2020 19:50

Give him a list and be clear you're not paying.

joystir59 · 06/10/2020 19:52

He has mistaken you for his mum.

MojoJojo71 · 06/10/2020 19:52

You mean ex boyfriend surely? Knob

AdoraBell · 06/10/2020 19:54

As others have said, why are you putting up with his behaviour? Tell him to jog on.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 06/10/2020 19:54

Well this is a situation thats only going to get worse not better. Chuck him.

Ihatesandwiches · 06/10/2020 19:55

DP and I don't live together yet. He eats at mine most nights and has set up a standing order so he contributes to my food shop. Just an idea? Oh, and he still buys a take away and a meal out once a month

Zeebeezee · 06/10/2020 19:56

You can buy lovely doormats in the shops love. No need to be one yourself. Wink....

DeeCeeCherry · 06/10/2020 19:56

Really? I don't live with DP. But I see him a lot and he does a weekly shop for us. He cooks too. A decent man would be embarrassed to turn up empty handed at his girlfriend's, and expect food. Trash men are 10 a penny though, and they'll scrounge off any woman silly enough to put up with nonsense for the sake of having a man. Your man's level of trash is off the scale, he's not a provider AND he moans there's no food!!

Savemyusername · 06/10/2020 19:58

What would he do if you said, go out and buy some then?

Scweltish · 06/10/2020 19:58

Does he live with his mum by any chance?

Tappering · 06/10/2020 19:59

Gosh what a catch.

He strolls round to yours for a free meal every night.

Let me guess - he doesn't help with the cooking or wash up afterwards?

user1471600850 · 06/10/2020 19:59

Please tell him to fuck off from me! And then ask him what he is going to cook for dinner at his house! Unbelievable!

JimmyJabs · 06/10/2020 20:00

Christ. My fanjo clamped shut just reading that. Nothing less attractive than a teenager trapped in a grown man's body. How you can even bring yourself to have sex with him, I can't imagine.

droopyears · 06/10/2020 20:01

@Tappering No he doesn't cook or offer to wash up after Confused

Omg dump him, it’s ridiculous that he doesn’t contribute and now he’s whining like a baby.

Whatever you do, don’t let him move in. He will most likely never contribute and never lift a finger to do housework.

ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes · 06/10/2020 20:03

Tell him 50 women think he’s a dickhead and what’s he going to do about that?

Regularsizedrudy · 06/10/2020 20:03

So basically you provide hot food and a shag. How romantic
