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

Get rid

HaggieMaggie · 06/10/2020 20:17

Oh ffs not another one.

ContessaDiPulpo · 06/10/2020 20:18

Is this the bit where you tell us he's brilliant apart from being a sponge who eats all your food and doesn't reciprocate or wash up afterwards?

[quote droopyears]@StephenBelafonte I'm not overly fussed about marriage - if it happens, it happens! DP doesn't 'believe' in marriage [/quote]
But obviously believes in scrounging.

Grow some ovaries woman !

Damn right!

@droopyears

He did say he was joking about the snack situation, but I'm not sure. He seemed to want me to solve the problem of no food though but I said he'll just have to eat what's there
So he's tried to get out of it but is still sulking and trying to make you feel guilty by whinging that he'll just have to eat whats there as if he's been hard done by.

Thats bordering on emotionally manipulative.

Get rid of this guy. This relationship won't end well for you.

You are better than this.

That's fine, but you can be fussed about having a partner who's worth a shit.

FlippingFedup · 06/10/2020 20:19

What is he classing as no food? If your cupboards are truest bare, how can he be so selfish to not worry about you not eating and be more concerned about himself?!
Next time he is due to come round for his dinner, text him to say you forgot to her a few things for dinner and could he grab them in the way, give him a list like potatoes, veg, Yorkshire puddings and gravy, you've got the rest (the chicken) lol

Redlocks28 · 06/10/2020 20:19

What a catch he sounds Confused

EachPeachPearSums · 06/10/2020 20:20

There be the hills. Get your trainers on. This man is has no intention of committing to you and is there to see what he can take. And why the fuck haven't you asked him to help do the washing up. Just no.

30daysoflight · 06/10/2020 20:20

OP if this is actually real then you must be absolutely bloody desperate

SunshineCake · 06/10/2020 20:21

Don't be another poster who doesn't listen and then think.

LockdownLump · 06/10/2020 20:21

Why is your bar set so low OP?

LindaEllen · 06/10/2020 20:21

Before me and DP moved in together, whoever was visiting the other generally brought snacks with them to share (not that we didn't have our own snacks - it's just what we did).

Because it's polite.

@Therealjudgejudy Thank you

He needs to start contributing OP - both financially and helping with the cooking and cleaning up.

ColinRobinson · 06/10/2020 20:26

Why on earth would you want to marry him anyway? What’s good about him?

Therealjudgejudy · 06/10/2020 20:26

Your welcome. Wise up

NRatched · 06/10/2020 20:27

Uh bugger this. Couldn't be arsed with this. If he wants food, he should bring some, or maybe even contribute given he seems to be there most of the time expecting fed?! Or order a bloody takeaway. And clean up after himself some times, imagine that! Grin

RantyAnty · 06/10/2020 20:28

What are you getting from this? Do you go on holidays? Do something special for your birthday?

redvest · 06/10/2020 20:30

Does he think you are a free cafe? Looks like that's all. I just hope he is good in bed to make up for his shit attitude.

jbee1979 · 06/10/2020 20:31

"fuck off back to your own house, you've eaten me out of house and home. Would it kill you to buy a packet of biscuits?"

jessstan1 · 06/10/2020 20:31

Can he not order a takeaway?

ivfbeenbusy · 06/10/2020 20:31

Someone who you don't live with after 4 years at his age isn't a partner he is a CF looking for a free meal amongst other things with no commitment

WiserOwl · 06/10/2020 20:31

I can see how you could minimise this in to him seeing the 'no food' as a problem and as it's your house the problem is yours to solve.

But HE is the one who is hungry.

Cheek of him.

If things are good humoured between you I'd send him out to Tescos now with a list of things you like to eat and say ''it's about time you did a shop!'' so he knows you're not paying.
