Would you get mad if your partner kept eating your fries without your permission?

Question

It's a bone of contention. I think it's extremely bad manners to take food off of someone's plate without asking. It's not cute!

My wife used to do that, as if what was mine was ours. I'd ask why she didn't order fries and she's say she didn't want many. But she didn't ask up front if I would mind sharing some of mine. What if I was looking forward to eating all of them? I could have easily ordered more.

It's not eating off of my plate that bothers me. Sometimes we plan to do that. Ordering appetizers and one entree, and sharing them can be fun. We don't mind sipping out of each other's glasses, either. The problem is taking food that I was planning to eat,. And just grabbing stuff without asking is plain rude.

I chocked it up to her having 10 siblings and having to fight for enough food when she was growing up. She said that wasn't the case.

Anyway, I was shocked when she did it but I didn't get mad. I joked about it. And I finally got her to realize that taking food off of my plate without asking isn't cool.

nope, not at all... and she doesn't need my "permission" either, lol

besides that, the way I grew up and in which I was raised, there is no "my food and your food"

it is "our food" and you share it with friends, family and partners alike... lol

there's a few exceptions of course, specific ones... for example cheesecake sometimes it just is MY CHEESECAKE lmao...

Who cares, it's just food.

I get that some people go through life experiences that cause them to be possessive over food, but unless this is the case, or you have a good fetish, it doesn't make sense to put this sort of value on food. This is, of course, coming from a person who has never experienced either of these.

The way I look at anything when it's asked for or taken by my partner, whether it's fries or the blankets or even sex when I'm not in the mood: "is it worth a potential argument or fight when an argument or fight may lead to the end of the relationship." If the thing is worth the risk, then bring it up, if not, suck it up and tough it out.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

No, I wouldn't get mad, because I always pay for all of our meals when we eat in restaurants. I would just ask the waitress for another order of fries.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I don't count small money unless I am not getting enough food to fill my stomach or they never give me anything back in return.

Sonorous · Answer

I don't get angry over trivial things. Therefore, if such a situation ever occurred, there would need to be more substantial justifications. Because the problem wouldn't be the loss of fries. I can easily replace those. My anger would be directed toward the moral foundations of their behavior. And that they should, in my opinion, be more in line with what I would accept from a good friend. But of course, if there are any activities I don't agree with, I would prefer to express my disagreement calmly and honestly, with the main focus being constructive growth.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

No. If i’ve got fries, they most likely came in combination with something else that i really wanted. Also, i rarely eat them all anyway. So there’s implied permission built in. I’m also the kind of person who will just order fries to share. When everyone else is discussing whether or not to order fries for the “table”, i’ve already put in the order. It’s just fries, people. You’re not solving global hunger! Ell oh ell!

SamIam96 · Answer

It's all about perception and communication. It would be awfully tiresome if we had to ask about everything. Usually we don't and it's fine. When your partner thinks it's ok and you don't, say something. There's no reason to be angry or rude. It's likely an honest misunderstanding. If it's something that happens a lot, order more. Or, suggest they get their own because you're hungry.

slatyb · Answer

No, I wouldn't. I've told my wife to just take some if she wants them. It's the same at home -- I've told her to just eat anything she wants and never worry about saving it for me. I won't starve.

ThinkFitness23 · Answer

My girl would simply give me that look…

She’s never confirmed this but I’m sure the look means I’m never sucking your …. If you do that again..

I’m like no no… we are good I don’t even like fries

😂😂

Anonymous · Answer

No, that's a dumb thing to get mad over. My boyfriend and I share our food all the time. He eats what he wants, I eat what I want, we eat each other's food, etc. If it makes him happy to eat the fries, then he should eat the fries. We can always order more. We rarely fight, and when we do, it's never over trivial stuff. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff, and we care about each other too much to argue over stupid s*** just for the sake of arguing.

Not at all, I would be more than happy to share my food with them. If I'm hungry though, I still need to eat something though, but they can have them fries.

JDAC092299 · Answer

Yes especially if offered food before hand however I’d end up just splitting the bag or giving it to them cuz it’s not worth the fight or the drama of their playful whining that they’re hungry after saying they weren’t XD
