DH helps himself to other people’s things without asking

[Fubar01]

At the end of my tether with DH he is constantly taking other family
me stuff without asking and either
lies that it was him or says he will replace it but doesn’t!
I’m at the end of my tether ! It can be anything like taking a chocolate bar or a can of drink to lifting change off the side.
He just doesn’t understand why I get so annoyed about it and I’m seriously considering asking him to leave .

This, in a nutshell. I don't know for you can bear to be near him and your poor children.

OP, I'm sorry as I've read all your posts and not every single other post, but just to say I totally get it. People get obsessed with the drink or the chocolate but it's much deeper. With the food, it's becuase it means that when you DO want that treat, it's not there anymore. A box of chocolates can last me 2 weeks. If DH and DS just dive in, it lasts 2 days. And I get nothing. So yes, that annoys me and so I make it clear these are MY chocolate, and I will offer them round when I am having one.

But it's not just food is it? It's the cosmetics and toiletries. I bet you he's always taking your chargers or power banks? Borrows your car but doesn't put petrol in. Takes your towel in the bathroom and uses it then leaves it in a wet puddle on the floor (side-eyes DS....) It's about the fact that 9/10 whatever it is he's done/used/eaten then inconveniences YOU and he just doesn't give a shit.

The only way he MIGHT understand is if you start doing it. Borrow his razor and put it in another room. Use the last of his shaving foam. Take his golf clubs. Drink the water next to his bed. Move his phone charger.

But it's so tedious and petty and who wants to do that?

Did you leave him then OP?

I've wondered if OP managed to get him out as well. I suspect it was a struggle to make him go.

This is an old thread but I do hope the OP found a way to get resolution.

Living with a selfish twat would not be easy, nor would I be able to "handle it".

Take those bloody golf clubs and throw them into a muddy puddle and stuff em back higgeldy piddeldy or use one to flick away some random dog shit on the pavement

@Fubar01 I also followed your thread and would love to know if you managed to get him out of your life. I hope so.

A mutually respectful home is a pleasant way to live.
