He eats EVERYTHING

[ThePigsGF]

My partner moved in with us 3 months ago and I'm already at the point where I want to move back out again.

It sounds trivial but its so annoying, he just eats everything in the house. He was quite greedy before he moved in but as soon as he moved in I realised the extent of it.

For instance I did the weeks shopping on Tuesday. Got enough in to last a normal family for a week. When DP got in from work he flew to the kitchen to see what I had bought and promptly opened up a packet of peppered beef slices and used the entire packet in two bread rolls straight away.

I bought four easter eggs for the kids and he's eaten them all.

If I buy a multipacket of crisps he will eat the entire packet instantly (litrally sit there on a night and eat 6 packets of crisps on after another).

Chocolate biscuits go within the hour.

I bought a bag of apples for the kids packed lunch boxes and DP came home from work and ate the entire bag (about 7 apples) in one night.

I really flipped today because I bought some BAKING CHOCOLATE so the kids can make some easter buns tomorow. I actually told him to leave it alone as a) it was BAKING CHOCOLATE and b) I'd bought it specifically for the kids. He muttered something about me making him out to be a pig. I went out to a friends house to pick up some party invitations and when I got back in an hour later he was half way through his 2nd bar of BAKING chocolate I went mad and called him a greedy pig and he shouted at me that I was a food nazi and he'd "replace the bleeding chocolate if its that important". I feel like crying. I know it sounds petty but I'm really starting the resent him. The kids keep coming home from school kicking off that there is nothing in for them to snack on, even their easter eggs have gone.

OP seems to have disappeared. Perhaps her DP has eaten her

Can you tell us a bit more about the situation?

ie

is he obese
does he have other health issues
does he eat 'normal' meals as well
Does he pay for anything he eats?
How does he deal with his need to eat if you dont supply the food?

This is abnormal behaviour, he either has deep emotional problems with food or has a genuine medical condition which makes it impossible for him to satisfy his hunger, ie As previously suggested Prada Wili syndrome.

I feel sorry for him but more so you and your kids. At this rate they too will end up having issues and thats not on.

If he wont have a sensible adult discussion about getting medical help/therapy then it might be better to say goodbye now. Sorry

ThepigsGF - I was going to ask if you are my sister! We visited her this evening & she went to get my dd a packet of crisps.... she came back with an empty multipack bag & said she had bought them yesterday & her dh had ate them all!!!

I was gobsmacked!

I would think seriously about ending the relationship!! I couldn't live with someone I didn't respect. (Or someone I couldn't stand!!)

Laurie, i think the op's problem is a lot different from yours.
He is eating everything in the house without regard for others. He is eating things in the house that are specifically for others.
I am guessing that he is not built like a racehorse and yes perhaps he has eaten the OP AND THE KIDS!!
Me and my brothers are tall and skinny and can eat like no ones business, but this sounds totally different.

lilacclaire,

Well yeah, that's why I covered it in the first couple of questions.

I only then went on to say that the actual eating in itself and on its own isn't maybe problematic which you have just agreed with as you said you guys are tall and skinny and eat like horses - thats exactly what I said about my dh

She shouldn't have to lock things away in her own house from a grown adult who supposedly loves her, though! He shouldn't be stealing food not meant for him in the first place.

Actually I do think thehedgewitch may have something there, about it possibly being caused by the munchies. I once had a perma-stoned boyfriend who would clear my freezer in an evening. Whole boxes of fishfingers teamed with a whole bag of happy face potato thingies, and a pool of ketchup. Gone in under ten minutes. Same with bread, crisps etc

Does he smoke weed at all?

My mil & fil spent Xmas with us they never acknowledged me & barely thanked me until after 4 day stay for the effort I made during stay ensuring they were well fed whilst looking after DS who is 2yrs & DD who is 9months. My DH ate with them every night & I would eat after clearing up & looking after DS & DD. On the last night they left me scraps of food. I’m exhausted upset with DH & explained it was a difficult BBC stay with his parents being rude too me. There was no gratitude for the effort I made with Xmas gifts or food & MIl opened my one gift. My DH making excuses for them & stated will ever make me happy & feels like he wants out. I said thats ok I’m exhausted with this relationship as I’ve dealt with trips away with friends & nights out the rudeness from his family & lack of consideration towards me. I have had to look after dc whilst he claims to work or needs to do something away from home . I never have had time for myself im exhausted & this Xmas as seen him differently I don’t think I love him or see as being together long . I have no support from him at all . I feel I have checked out. Am I wrong to feel so devalued .
