    Tell him if he'll go back to the store and get you the one you are craving you'll make it worth his while.

    The hierarchy goes Chocolate & caramel > Chocolate & peanut butter >x1,000,000 Chocolate and gelatinous egg goo.

    Sacrilege! There is no better combo on this planet than chocolate & peanut butter!

    Okay Cadbury eggs are so gross, like just thinking about eating one has made me queasy, but I have been craving this one dumpling place for a month, delicious savory dumplings. Today is basically a "jog your butt off to be able to go get dumplings and drinks because you need time with adults" day for me, if I trusted my husband to order me my treat and he got it wrong, I would give him the wrong option for himself and just go get what I wanted myself.

    Really though, that gritty cream, how do you manage? The caramel is sooo much better :)

    You and me, sister. Right here.

    smile at him. tell him you forget to say you wanted the other kind and that it was your mistake. thank him for being so thoughtful. ask him if he'd like it instead because you don't really like the type he got you.

    everybody makes mistakes. i'm sure your boyfriend will understand.

    ^^ This.

    This makes me feel better :D
    Seems to be the general consensus.
    I just really hate disappointing people, I get all anxious about it.
    Okie dokie.
  • Is there a reason you can't get it yourself?

    I was wondering the same thing! that way you KNOW you will get the right delicious cream filled delightful treat and enjoy every last bit! lol
  • my parents split up when i was 27.

    it was over the breakfast table at a family event.

    my mother literally said

    "You just couldn't be bothered to get me a diet coke could you. It's over, I can't do this anymore."

    My father then said

    "that was over 20 years ago, I can't believe you are STILL talking about that."

    My mother said,

    "that is just the tip of the iceberg that illustrates the lack of communication there is in this relationship. You don't listen to me and you don't care to."

    my father said

    "I said I was sorry, did you listen to that?"

    we all slunk out of the kitchen knowing it was truly done by the tepid tempurature of the bacon that was starting to solidify in it's grease......

    tell the man but be gentle about it.

    because otherwise...that's how a marriage two months short of 30 years goes down the drain.

    I usually would, it was just one of those "baby do you want anything?" situations and I was like YES. I DO. IN FACT I NEED CHOCOLATE.

    Okay Cadbury eggs are so gross, like just thinking about eating one has made me queasy

    the OP is looking for support and encouragement.
    your opinion on cadury eggs is mean and unnecessary.

    OP, can you pop the caramel one in the freezer, run out to get gas for your car, stop and grab the right egg, pull over, turn the heat up, blast some slow jamz, and have a moment with just you and the egg?
  • i actually LOVE the cadbury milk eggs...arrgh i could eat the whole big bad bag myself

    Oh, and speaking of 'gelatinous egg goo', am I the only one who takes a bite of the shell and then eats that part first? Is that normal or am I a total psycho? #fatkidproblems

    No, no, no. You eat the chocolate and goo TOGETHER.

    This is why the mini eggs are perfect.

    I nibble a small hole in the end and then scoop out the creme with my tongue before scoffing the chocolate shell.

    Well I heartily encourage her to not ever eat a Cadbury egg where I can see or smell it because it will not be fun cleaning my barf out of her hair. I buy the creme eggs for my husband once a year, and he has two hours home alone to eat them and brush his teeth to avoid my violent involuntary reaction to that gritty smelly goo.

    Start the thread. Conduct a poll. I stand by my statement.

    And don't get it twisted. I loooooove chocolate and peanut butter, ok? I spent a year losing weight. 2 months of that was solely to remove 15 years of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream from my body, because it's delicious and amazing and my only friend when I'm feeling down.

    But chocolate and caramel wins. Better consistency, more complimentary flavors.

    You want some of this? Bring it.

    I will admit, I'm somewhat bias in my opinion because I have a long-standing love affair with peanut butter but there is just no way you can say chocolate and caramel are more complimentary. You need to get off the bus to crazytown. Not even close.

    [/quote]No, I could go out and get one. We don't live near a CVS or anything that carries them, so it'd be a little bit of a trip sans-car. I can just get one next time I'm on the train. He asked me if I wanted anything so I threw that out there. Another time I could go and get it, but I'm mostly asking if it would be terrible for me to say no what he already bought.
    [/quote]

    Lace up and run to your nearest CVS or whatever and get the creme egg, run back home and eat both :smile:

    Okay, so this may seem really selfish, but I think it's worth asking.
    I really freaking love cadbury creme eggs. So much. You have no idea how much.
    And I've been craving one, so I have 200 calories today to be able to have one, and I asked my boyfriend to grab one on his way home from work.
    He got the caramel kind --;
    And I feel like a total jerk if I don't want it, and would feel even worse asking him to go back and get the right kind.
    But I also don't want to waste 200 calories on something I don't want that badly.
    Any suggestions?



    What in the world does this have to do with general diet and weight loss?? This is a relationship problem, a first world problem, or perhaps a fun thread for Chit Chat - This is a joke, right???

    Not really.
    It's actually not a relationship problem, it's a problem that I'm sure a lot of people run into when it comes to "treats" which is why I posted it. Believe it or not that is definitely part of weight loss. It can be hard to turn things down, and it's especially frustrating when you've saved calories for something specific.
