    This has happened to me although my husband would not eat ALL of my food like he did with your bacon sandwiches, he would have left me one.

    I tried explaining.

    Now I hide my food.

    And he has a whole shelf in the fridge that is his. ANYTHING on that shelf can be eaten. I make sure there is always stuff on it. Stews in tupperware, cookies in plastic baggies, loads of yogurt, anything that i dont want to eat. I have jars of pickles, chunks of cheese, peanut butter, cans of nuts, crispy bacon strips, etc. Yep, all in the fridge on his special shelf.

    But my husband isn't a grazer like yours is. He would never take food out of my purse or something like that. And he doesnt go to the pantry for food. Only the fridge.

    I hope there was more bacon so you could remake that bacon sandwich...

    Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
    You know getting his dinner ready.

    That was actually the last of the bacon, sadly. I ended up having left over pulled chicken, which is plenty tasty...but not what I wanted.

    He has plenty of things that are just his to eat, but when he runs out/decides he has a taste for something else he starts roaming about and eating things he normally would never touch.

    Talk to him and tell him it pisses you off. I'd be very mad too!

    Nope, I'm on strike. He can make his own darn dinner.

    <waits for the inevitable "just break up" replies>

    Does swelling count as 'bulking'? If so, beat'm down with a frozen jug of milk! j/k

    Oh, how about some Wil E. Coyote trickery? Remember the one where he put buckshot in the pile of bird seed?

    Step 1: Make a bunch of "allegedly" healthy muffins, but secretly make'm "Paula Deen" style (lard, whole milk, etc.)
    Step 2: Leave'm on the table next to a glass of <air quotes> "skim milk"
    Step 3: Leave room.
    Step 4: Return to the room just in time for him to say "Meep Meep" and zip out the door.
    Step 5: Commence evil laughter with opportunely-timed thunder/lightning in the background
    Step 6: Repeat steps 1-5 as necessary.

    Alternatively, you can tweak step #1 with Ex-Lax, Metamucil, etc.


    You're welcome.





    I cant stop laughing!!!

    when I first started dating my guy, whenever we ate out in a restaurant he'd always swipe something off my plate as soon as it came. Then if I asked to try his, he'd say '**** no!'

    so i started stabbing him with a fork if his hand went near my plate. now he waits for me to offer. :)


    edit; so, basically, violence may be the answer

    I'm not sure real life violence is the answer, but I might hire some alliance players to gank his rogue over and over in WoW.


















    Meh, who'm I kidding. There are no alliance on our server.

    I don't think anyone suggested divorce, actually. Violence, ex-lax and evil gummy bears were all tossed around though.

    If this is truly a real post and not something made up, you guys need counseling, both medical and psychological. Not trying to be mean, this is truly sad. it goes beyond just eating. Good luck to you both..

    I actually just saw he only has one can of coke left. I think I'm gonna drink it and not tell him its all gone until dinner time. Vegence is sweet...and tastes like coke.

    we'll if he isn't taking it serious then stop cooking/buying groceries for him. cook your own food, Do not leave it unattended, and when you finally have his attention explain the new terms.

    Ya'll make me grateful for my husband who would never take my food without asking and doesn't eat my gluten free stuff most of the time even if I offer it. It's a good thing because although ex-lax does not leave a tell-tale taste in brownies (long story short: my uncle did it to my mom NOT FUNNY), I could never do that to my husband. The sugar-free gummies would never work on my guy if he did this either. He hates sugar free anything except diet pepsi and in 21.5 years I haven't figured out what makes that different.

    We have teenagers now, so all food that doesn't have my name on it or isn't clearly marked Gluten Free, they eat. And some of it that is, like Chex cereals, but that's the cereal I buy for all of us and they know it. If they touch my GF pretzels for example, they know they aren't getting any of their own the next time I shop. If they drink my Diet Rite, I'm not buying them A & W when I replace it.

    Anyway, OP, in your place, I would sit my husband down when there is no food around to argue over (in other words before you are angry) and explain that this REALLY bothers you and the next time he takes your food, make him replace it right then. Even if it means he has to drop what he is doing and go to the store to buy more sourdough bread and bacon first and don't allow substitutions. Exactly what he took, he has to replace.

    Tell him you'll only make diet food if he insists on eating yours. Then send him to the sofa for a couple of nights. ;-)

    No offense meant to you at all. But if you have already told your husband not to eat the food you prepared (and it sounds delicious BTW), short of putting a sign on it telling him to leave it alone, like some people suggested, what else can you do but find out why your husband doesn't respect the boundaries you set?

    My fiance does that sometimes . I made some tortellini and I was supper excited that I was going to have that for lunch the next day. Well...he came in from work and decided to eat a little bit of them and he left the container out so the rest of them spoiled. I was so upset/heartbroken. He was at least sorry about it.'

    Alas, I'm the only one who can fit on our loveseat in order to sleep on it. The consequences of marrying someone so much taller than myself.

    I guess I just don't see where medical counseling would come in

    I have an idea... How about "rewarding" good behavior?
    Like, "if my bacon stays RIGHT HERE until I get back, you get to "silver" level, where you get to pick a sexual favor from column "A"... Leave muffins until Saturday AND leave my bacon alone? Gold level! That means 2 things from column A or one from column B...

    Heeheehee... Give it some thought.

    Get a little sign and write "If anyone besides ACHRYA eats this, it will be the LAST thing that person eats, so you better ENJOY it."
