How do I get my boyfriend to be more open about sharing food?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is really territorial about his food.

He doesn't like anyone to try his meal when we go out, not even me, his girlfriend of two years. He doesn't even like to share his fries; he says if someone wants fries, to get their own.

I've asked him time and time about being more open about this, and pointed out he can try my food too, but he's not interested. He said he wants to eat what he ordered, he's been looking forward to it, and isn't interested.

His only "compromise" is to get a bowl of fries to share if I want fries but don't order any, or he said he's happy to order me two meals and pay for them if I Want to try something else.

WHY CAN'T HE JUST F-CKING SHARE? It's really pissing me off, I even talked to his mother and she said he's always been that way - his food is HIS.

Sharing food is an expression of love and intimacy and is part of a relationship

Some of you must have shitty relationships if you’re on his side

[AmandaYVR]

Jesus, the peoples' comments on here. Wth?

I think you depicted the situation well. You're right, the main thing is not all the 'reasons' he gives, but the fact that, ultimately, he is territorial. The other things don't matter as much.

• You don't say he has an cleanliness or OCD issues, so it's not about that.
• Yes, he's offered to buy you an order for yourself. That's good.
• "I've been looking forward to it" is stupid. Just plain stupid.
• "I'm hungry" doesn't work, because we don't have the same, exact level of hunger every single time we eat. He's making excuses.

So let's get into why you want it.

• Are you pushing for it because that is your nature, and you like to win 'wars'/disagreements?
• Is the particular dynamic between you two contentious? Is he, or you, particularly stubborn? (But not with other people?)
• Are you trying to save money by sharing his plates?
• Are you taste-testing his food, to help decide what you will want to order next time you're there?

I guess consider all of these, and if you come to the conclusion that he is simply rabidly territorial about this, and it bleeds into other areas of how he is with you (he's 'this is mine, that is yours, and there's no in-between') then... fuck him. I'd be broken up with him already, tbh. I hate this cocksucker (and I almost never use that word._ But he's your boyfriend. So it's what you can deal with, compromise on. But I suspect this is not the only area that he acts like a dick.

[nickaboy]

He ain't acting like a Dick he offered to buy her her own food.

If she doesn't want her own she shoulf mention she wants to eat along with him before ordering if not she can't even lick the plate.

We men order based on how hungry we feel and we never miss with that.

Most men also work a heavy ass job if you have worked for 8hours doing heavy stuff a plain sandwich could taste like heaven.

Just like we men aren't entiteld to date every woman we tried right.

You women are not entiteld to eat of the plate of every meal of the man you are dating.

You women have a lot of privileges when it comes to talking about your feelings and stuff.

Before you go on a rant again ask yourselfs why it is that men rather share their food with their dog then their girlfriend

It has something to do with the way they love and respect

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Cocksucker thing was sure funny 🙂.

It's unlike you go judge without evidence yet you didnot say it directly but there was an If so yeah assuming you still didnot judge him based solely on what she said.

And she just talked about food wow good to know that how women map out everything with one single attribute.

Just for Fun and no disrespect

Of I imagine it like these people are on date

She knows he doesn't like sharing food and then he orders.

She has her order as well but she wants his food which his protective of like it's mine

She thinks all of the mapping and says you are cocksucker looser bye.
Wondering how would the guy respond it's a tough spot between a girl he like and the food he likes whom does he choose lol

Stay tuned will be back in next episode of Joey Doesn't Share His Food!!!

@AmandaYVR

What a bunch of nonsense, I pity your husband for having to put up with you this whole time.

OP is a prick, she is the one being rude in the first place by insisting on eating other people's food for absolutely no good reason, then she disregards her partner's boundary and rejects his offers to compromise by insisting on having things her way in spite of knowing that this upsets her partner.

Then she dares to refer to her partner's effort to compromise with quotation marks while SHE is unwilling to compromise her demand in any way.

SHE is the one manufacturing a conflict by being a dick and your blatant failure to recognize this is reflective of something I've noticed about you- you are rigid as hell.

You have abysmal ability to see things from other points of view, you automatically dismiss contradictory views as inherently invalid and misguided all the while grossly abusing the vocabulary by labeling your stances as objective and/or compromising.

A compromise in a relationship is accepting that some parts of your partner may not be ideal and that their justifications are going to be misguided sometimes.
Sure, perhaps it's maladjustment or even a mental illness making them act this way, but that does not take away the fact that those reasons are real for them and that they impact them in a real way.

You are absolutely allowed to make the decision to not be with someone based on that, but holy hell, how did you in particular find someone either matching or willing to contort themselves to your expectations astounds me.

Who gives a shit if he is territorial about his food.
It's a stupidly inconsequential issue with a simple and obvious solution- she stops trying to eat his food or she gets her own, that's what any SANE person would do.

OP and you are both frankly being ridiculous and, in my honest opinion, it's people like you who don't deserve to be in a relationship.

[jspl90]

well you lady are a bitch too no other word for it if he does not want to share his food then stop asking🤔tell me would you like share your makeup? underwear? other clothes? your car? some people just dont want share somethings but food the dude just wants to eat his meal in oeace that he specirically picked for himself and dies not want to share him offering to buy her a second meal just to try is going above and beyond what he actually needs to

[AmandaYVR]

But this guy is cute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GIkwmTqFkk

I asked my husband what he thought about this and he said:
"They're fucked up brains think there's a food scarcity problem. Which there isn't.
They're selfish.
Narcissists. My friend [ x ], he acted like this. He was an asshole.
Primal.
Territorial.
Grew up in a household where they had to fight for food.
Grew up as the only kid who never learned to share anything."

And P. S. he and I taste test, talk about what ingredients might be in stuff, eat each other's fries, share dessert, order a bunch of dishes and share them all so we get more variety. And sometimes eat off of each other's forks.
My husband's cool and nice and smart.
I never insulted any of you directly, but you men made it personal. Typical hypocrisy, where you claim that women are the emotional ones. Bullshit.

[mk200195]

@AmandaYVR Some people just love to give relationship advice when they have never been in one. Frequently, their perspective is so obscured that they can’t even understand how insulated they are and how far they are removed from reality

[nickaboy]

@AmandaYVR so accordinf to you everything your husband that definitly is insane says is facts.

He probably only does cause if he disagrees with you will divorce him

[AmandaYVR]

@nickaboy I'm quite certain my husband is twice the man you'll ever be.

For one thing, he can spell.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

You can't force people to share their food. If they are territorial about their food, you should respect it. Not everyone is willing to share. My boyfriend & i are really bad about sharing certain foods, but we each respect it & move on. When i have deep fried veggies or he has sweets, we both know we're not going to get a bite of the other's food without getting our own order.

[AmandaYVR]

@Dazed0N0Confused On specific favourite items, sure. But on all food, all the time, even one taste, one fry... I don't agree.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

#his choice 🙂

[zeitgeist057]

I see both sides of this difference in attitudes about sharing food.

I agree it can be fun to share food, it is an expression of intimacy and I feel it adds to the experience of going out and enjoying food. Much like other experiences in life, the joy is increased when it is shared. What's better, having something delicious, or having something delicious as a shared memory with someone you love?

On the other hand, we have boundaries and preferences, and those should be respected. If someone doesn't want me to know what their delicious food tastes like, then me forcing them or stealing off their plate isn't cute, it isn't fun, it doesn't add intimacy and joy to the experience. It adds a violation of trust, an overstepping of a boundary, and an element of control and dominance over the other person to ignore their feelings on the matter.

He sounds pretty generous if instead of giving you a bite of his steak, he's offering to buy you a complete steak dinner. Or get you an order of fries. My suggestion would be to take him up on the offer if you really want to try what he's having. Instead of helping yourself to his food, just order a side of whatever it is, or another meal. Take that bite or two that you want.

I mean, I get it. I totally get the desire to be cute and sharing and have it be this "together" thing when you're eating. But your boyfriend isn't like that. Sometimes we have different love languages, and it sounds like one of yours involves sharing food. We aren't always matched up perfectly with others, even our partners. Maybe you could try to share things with him when he's not hungry, or order more tapas, nachos, big basket of chili fries, pizza, buffets, or other meals that are intended to be shared? Another thing would be to make sure there is more than enough food, so it doesn't feel like the bites you take off his plate are impacting his mouth/stomach.

[Lliam]

My wife used to have a thing about grabbing things off of my plate at restaurants until I convinced her that it was rude not to at least ask. She was like you. Fuck that. It's not cute.

I hate it when we go to a burger place and she doesn't order anything but then wants part of mine. Her excuse is that she wasn't that hungry and didn't want a full order. But maybe I DID want a full order and didn't plan on splitting it. In that sense, I'm like your boyfriend, she should have ordered what she wanted and only eaten as much as she wanted. She could throw the rest away or take it home. OR, when I was ordering, she should have asked if she could share. No, she's not automatically entitled to my food.

At restaurants, we often each order something different and then sample or share each other's meals. That's fun. And we often also order something like one salad and entree and share them if we decided that it will be enough for both of us AND we both agree ahead of time.

It's not sharing or even eating off of each other's plates that's the problem, it's the sense of entitlement.

[midnightmoon05]

Get to know him and his family. Also think about if this will affect your family life in the further.
part of dating is to learn about each other. One value is if two will raise kids with similar value. If this is a challenge how will your kids be raised?
It will work, but much harder.
aside from talking to his mom... also observe how his mom treats him... does he have siblings? How do they interact with each other.
my 4 siblings are very close. But my sister in laws family... they don’t get together at all... 5 siblings.
I saw that from my father in law. However he has childhood issues. He wouldn’t share his fries with his grand daughter who was only 2 or 3 years old at the time when we went out to lunch and my daughter asked for one fried. It was very sad and disappointed but I had to teach my daughter about my father in law’s childhood issues now that she is older.
my ex husband is very loving and giving.
my boyfriend had the same problem with sharing a spoon when we were eating ice cream early on when we just started to date. He fought with me and we asked a gag question here about as well lol... I too got to know him... took a long time to resolve some of the issues, still working on it.
we now share food all the time and he even eat the left over when myself or my kids don’t finish.

think about if this is what you can accept now.
we all can change. Will he? No one knows.
my mom once told me, some men will never even tough their own babies... some love holding, caring for their own.
yes, watch how he respond to other kids? Or nephews/nieces... and what kind of man do you want to raise your kids with.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I think a guy or girl either wants to share food or they dont... I dated your type of guy before he never changed.. personally if food is good to me it makes it sooo much better if I share it.. the guy I am with now gets it at first he was like ahh im not sure about that now he's like aww babe you gotta try this and feeds it to me... it was just cause he never thought of sharing his food when I mentioned it he's like ahh I dont think Id like that I thought the same but its actually good.. try it he's like but if you like it I feel bad taking some.. I said its so much better for me when I know both of us are enjoying it he said alright since then we share everything to the point we dont even ask anymore if were out eating I dont like something he will try it and if he does he will give me half his meal.. even if he doesn't like it he will still give me half his meal just knowing I dont like what I ordered and he does it sweetly not angrily..

It sounds like to me your man has no interest in sharing maybe he was forced to share as a kid and it went really backfired on him.. you can either tell him how much sharing means to you and see if he will try it since it means so much to you (like my guy did.. now when we go out to eat we discuss both our meals and share everything its great! We haven't gone out much since covid tho.) If he's not willing to try sone of yours even then; then he's not and you have to decide if you want to live with that cause if he's not open to it you can't change him and last thing you want is to sound like your nagging him when your just trying to be sweet

[Anonymous]

Wtf the comments. Sharing food is showing affectiong and love. I can understand when you are at a restaurant and dont want to share your food since you are really hungry but if you have a snack and why would not share your fucking snack? Wtf is this. Kindergarten bullshit. Many guys on gag dont want a girlfriend, they want a free prostitute. They dont want to wait till marriage, they dont want marriage, they dont want easy girls but also dont want prude/ inexperienced girls, they dont want to fucking text or call their gfs often, they only want their girlfriend to come to their home for sex, they dont want kids but also want suddenly their own kids when their sperm quality is shit since they whore around till in their 30s and now want young women to endure their old used up saggy balls and give birth to their ill kids. In short many gag guys just want a young virgin experienced submissive traditional free prostitute who is financially independent 😃. Yes it does not make sense
No wonder why majority of them are single, divorced or unmarried.

[Opinion Owner]

I can understand a little bit when he does not want to share a meal since he is hungry and wants to eat his food in peace but if he does not want to fucking share a snack then something is wrong with him. I give my snack even to strangers. Imagine you are watching movie with him but he does not let you eat popcorn. Tf is this.

[Opinion Owner]

I dont know. Sharing food is something i learn when i was in kindergarten. In our culture we share food a lot and people would think you are disrespectful weirdo if you dont even share a snack. Maybe American culture is like that

[Opinion Owner]

*American or western culture may be different. So it is kinda cultureshock to me that people are so against even sharing snacks. Sorry for being offensive

[KWill90]

You women sound like you want to live on a farm and just have men shoveling food into your mouths like livestock. We'll buy and share meals, no problem. But once the food goes on to a dinner plate, you have to be an adult and eat your own meal. Stop throwing temper tantrums like children, you big giant hungry women.

[Opinion Owner]

How stupid are you? I am saying the same idiot Go fucking read my replies again, fool. I am not going to repeat myself for you just because you can't read, moron. it is not about money. Ok whatever big giant hungry manchild 😂😂😂😂😂

[KWill90]

No wonder your boyfriend doesn't want to share with you. You're clearly a very unpleasant, demanding, immature, and rude woman. He's probably just putting up with you for sex. He'll eventually leave you for someone stable. So you're going to have to go get a job and buy your own fries. Go cry to his mom again about not getting enough livestock feed.

[Opinion Owner]

Wtf moron. I dont mind it when he does not share. Read again. I actually agree with some of your replies idiot

[KWill90]

So then STFU you hungry fry monster. Jesus, I feel sorry for him. He must be desperate to be putting up with you lol

[Opinion Owner]

Stfu yourself and stop replying to me then, unpleasant, demanding, immature, rude hubgry fry monster.

[Opinion Owner]

I insulted you, because you insulted in the First place. But still sorry

[Opinion Owner]

I can't believe how nice i was to a very unpleasant, demanding, immature, rude, stupid, foolish and retarded manchild like you. Stop throwing temper tantrums yourself like a child, you "big giant hungry" bihheaded fucktard.🙂😂 It is funny how you generalize women, fool. You dont know a shit about my boyfriend. We both wait till marriage. You are blocked. Since you generalize women and talk shit about my personal life and boyfriend. Go have manners. Go whine somewherelse and insult people for not agreeing with your shit.
I have no problem with buying my own shit, fool. I dont except from any man to provide me or buy my food, idiot. I just want to share our SNACKS like popcorn when we watch movies for example and NOT meals, idiot. It is perfectly ok to NOT share meals idiot
As i said i dont expect him to share his meals but i i would not understand why he can't share snacks like chips, popcorn etc., fool. I am repeating myself since you can't read idiot. You middle school insults are kinda funny. I guess you are kid. I just feel sorry for your parents for fooling around on the internet, moron.
If you did not talk shit about my boyfriend, i would not block you, idiot. It is disgusting how you attacked people's partners who did not do anything to you fool. I did not mind it if you only insulted me, moron but since you insult my boyfriend, you gross the line, you disgusting piece of shit

[Opinion Owner]

[kyleelyn199723]

If he is offering to pay for your food, why not just have him but you one instead of begging for his food? He is a grown man and wants to eat what he anticipates on eating. I’m sure if he gets full he will pass his food off to you, but I’m sure it’s only when you have a girlfriend begging like a dog for your food

[God_of_Thunder]

I don't understand... if this comes up often enough to be that big of a deal, then why can't you just order your own fries?

I mean, he's offered multiple solutions to rectify the problem, but it doesn't seem like you're willing to accept any of them. He's willing to compromise, but you will only accept the outcome that you want. How is he the problem, in that scenario?

If you want fries, order your own damned fries.

[MotorcycleMan]

Well... why can't you respect his wishes on this? Seems like a small thing. If you want fries, get fries and quit taking his. Is it a control issue? Is it because you want to feel like you are sharing? Obviously he's not into it and has told you several times. Not sure why you're pushing it, but you seem pretty angry about it.
Personally, I don't mind a bit of sharing, but when I want a meal and my girlfriend says she doesn't want anything and then I come home and she expects to eat half of it, I'm going to start saying no. I do it once or twice or ten times, because I am a patient and generous person, but at some point I get tired of it. I'm more than happy to buy her anything she wants, but I don't like being left with 1/2 the food I wanted when there is no reason to be.

[sd1223]

Right? Like this is so not what to be worried about, that’s not a test of his love for her. Some people just don’t want someone eating their food especially when you have your own. It’s not that big of a deal.

[sd1223]

Saying you don’t want anything and then eating half of someone else’s makes no sense. I wonder what it is about that, is that it looks more appetizing on someone else’s plate? Haha I’ve heard of several guys having the same issue. Haha us women can be a bit much sometimes I know 😅.

[MotorcycleMan]

See if he is open to you ordering something different and you can each share half.

[MotorcycleMan]

"Some of you must have shitty relationships if you’re on his side"
OK, so it sounds like you were not looking for honest feedback as a means of personal growth, but hoping to just see people on your side.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Your boyfriend does have a valid point. Why would he share HIS food that HE paid for? My aunt told, "It's your money." If it's his money, then he decides what he wants to buy. If he bought HIS food with HIS money, then he is allowed to make a decision on where he wants to share or not. What's the point of sharing when the other party already has food they ordered? You can't just ask to share their food that they paid for when you already have a meal that YOU paid for. That just doesn't make any sense at all. Why would you want to eat others' foods when you can just get the same dish next time?

[MrOracle]

Per her own story, HE is ALREADY paying for BOTH of their meals, and has even offered to buy her a SECOND meal just so he could eat his in peace, but that's not what she wants. It's about her wanting to be able to take his food whenever she wants, regardless how much of "her food" (that he pays for) she already has.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Like... Why buy yourself some food just to only ask or expect your significant other to share their food that they paid with their own money?

[mk200195]

I think its certainly not a part of American culture as it is in the number of countries. In China, many strangers would actually feed you even if you're not looking hungry but that was a part of basic hospitality. In Asian societies there is a traditional culture of hospitality that no guest leaves hungry. This tradition may have diluted in modern times but in general it is considered good manners to share your meals with your guests or s/o. Speaking of which i LIKE to share food if you have something you really enjoy at the moment. Think of it as exploring food/menus with one another! You will have fun, and learn more about each other’s likes and dislikes.

[Notanotherpurdyface]

Does it matter that much to you? Is it a deal breaker? That’s what you need to ask yourself. He’s already informed you that he doesn’t not enjoy sharing his food, and that is unlikely to change so you’re going to have to decide if this bothers you enough that it will affect your relationship. Good luck!
❤️‍🩹C

[Anonymous]

Sorry but I’m with him on this one. He’s offering to buy you extra just stay off HIS food lol. Are you worried he wouldn’t share if you guys were really broke and the situation called for sharing? I’m sure he would share in that case but it’s not necessary now so with him offering to buy you two meals, why must you have him share his food?

[sd1223]

It’s not that people have crappy relationships for being on his side it’s just that when you’re hungry and you order food for yourself you may not want someone picking at yours. He may be like that. It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love you but he may not want to share his food. I personally have a thing about that, I hate for it people to beg for my food. If you ask I may give you some but for the most part I don’t want to share my food and I’m single. If you have your own food eat yours. What you’re worried about is very minute. A relationship is so much more than sharing each other’s food. Is he the first boyfriend you’ve had that had this issue?


Let me ask you this, how would you feel if it was the other way around? 🤔

[Nobefore]

Hi, I think you are taking this personally. What he does is not cause, is the result of something and that's a big test for your relationship. You have to ask him sincerely. "Why you are doing this? I feel like you're creating a wall between us and that makes me upset. If there is a reason just tell me so I can understand you." Or something similar like this. try 3 times. Cus man does not open easily. If he doesn't talk about it that means, you will not resolve your problems when big ones occur.
But if he talks then you should try to understand him and be happy with someone taking you as your life partner and share with you everything. Just accept him what he is cus nobody is perfect.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

I'm exactly the same way as you describe him. Why is this such a big deal to you? For whatever reason that even I don't understand, it triggers me when anyone invades my personal space (including my food) while I eat.

When I say triggers.. I mean TRIGGERS. I want to fly off in a rage and smack the fuck out of someone who invades that space and knows I don't like it. So not only are you triggering him, but you are amplifying it by 100 by knowing it triggers him and barraging him anyways.

It's nothing to do with you, so why are you making it about you? Can't a man have just ONE thing that you don't get to intervene on?

[KWill90]

You seem stable...

[BeenThereLovedIt]

@KWill90 I simply described what I felt, not what I did. A stable person knows how to control themselves and mitigate their feelings, and an unstable person goes for the kitchen knife.

The OP wanted to know how to force him to share, and I'm pointing out that it's not going to happen.

[KWill90]

Yeah, you go into an internal rage. TRIGGERED. That's not the reaction of a stable person. Are you on medication?

[BeenThereLovedIt]

@KWill90 Gaslight much? How about you go fuck yourself? I'm fine, you seem to be the one with a big problem. The OP asked why, and I explained it. You got a problem with that? Then do something about it. So far all you've done is gaslight and troll, so which of us here is really the psycho?

[KWill90]

Yep, you're a broken and unstable person for sure lol. What type of antidepressant are you on? You seem very upset. Are you okay hun?

[BeenThereLovedIt]

@KWill90 LOL... can't let go can you? I know you are, but what am I?

Should we move from 1st grade to kindergarten insults next?

Are you that miserable that all you can do to feel better is troll and pick fights with random people online? Are you sure you aren't the triggered one here? GFY you toxic imbecile :) Have a nice day!

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Does he have siblings, or did he grow up in a poor or food insecure household? Sometimes that makes someone defensive. Or maybe he likes to eat at a different pace than you and he doesn't want to have to time his meal.

Seriously, though, respect his boundaries. If this is his one thing, let him have it. He'd even buy you a whole ass second meal so you can try it.

Why are *you* so obsessed with eating off his plate?

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Bc she wants what she can't have 🤣

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Lol, fair point!

[Aakash_Hangargi]

The most funny thing is she complained to his Mom lol it's like school days 😂🤣

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Damn, I hope this guy dodges this bullet.

[rienna888]

Probably something happened to him as a kid, like he was starved or I don't know. I’m kind of territorial about it but I’ll share my food. I didn’t use to be like this but during my growing years, my mom had mental illness and I feel like she didn’t like it when I ate her food. She would always watch me and I don't know she would offer me the worst of everything. So I’d rather starve and she didn’t really care if I did. And I was severely underweight, now I’m eating nonstop and hate it when people take my food cuz I feel like they never fed me. But I think you could say something like “babe I love you but it’d be really sweet if you shared your food once in awhile. I’m not going to take a lot only a few pieces to try it.”

[MrOracle]

The entitlement here is EPIC, and yet you are blaming your boyfriend (who is happy to buy you your own food - even TWO meals if you must taste something else), and you continue to insist on messing with HIS food? Why can't this man enjoy his meal, that he's paying for? Again, he's more than generous enough to buy you a meal, or a side, or even two meals. What makes you so damn entitled that you STILL feel that you have a right to his food?

[rcljr]

I don’t like having my feet messed with either, but women insist on tickling and rubbing them so I get dressed and leave. When someone says no, that is exactly what the fuck it means, NO

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend has voluntarily shared food with me since our first or second date (we hit it off right away so it wasn't awkward). I thought it was cute and it does show a certain level of intimacy. If he didn't feel comfortable though, I wouldn't try to force him. In your case, your boyfriend is gracious enough to offer to buy you anything (even multiple meals) on the menu. That's a pretty generous offer in my book, so why fixate on this one minor issue and invite drama into the relationship? I prefer to pick my battles, and this battle doesn't seem worth picking in my opinion.

[hahahmm]

If a violent criminal shows up, your boyfriend will protect you with his life. Without even thinking about it. Let the man have a good meal without your drama/fake tears BS. It could be his last meal on this earth.

You could also learn how to cook. He'd probably have a different tude if instead of being a whiny, beggar you actually had a pot full of food that you created for him.

[Mangospacho]

The solution to this is planning. Have a written contract before you two go out about who will eat what, in what quantity, and in what time frame from which restaurant. You should both sign copies beforehand and have a notary witness and stamp the document. If a conflict arises when he refuses to share his food, you can have him charged with breach of contract and grand larceny if the food was expensive enough. Once he’s charged, he will have to plead guilty and will spend a minimum of 5 years in federal prison. When he’s asked what he was charged with, he will have to tell everyone it’s because he didn’t share his food with his girlfriend like he should have. Then when he gets released, he’ll share his food with you. Problem solved.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

😂🤣😂🤣😂

[Mangospacho]

Wait. This is in Australia? Where’s there’s food literally everywhere? And he can’t even spare a French fry for his girlfriend?

Yeah, it's HIS food, sweetheart. If he doesn't want to share, he isn't going to & you can't force him too.
I offer my boyfriend food if i think he'll like it, but i have NEVER asked him to share his food. If he wants to share or let me have a taste, he will offer.
You need to get over it, because he isn't going to change this behavior.
It's quite pathetic to get pissed off because your SO won't share food. If you wanted some, you should've gotten it yourself.

Hmmm, is there something he's trying to change in you also? Or at least that he would love if you changed? If yes, maybe you can tell him that you would be willing to change your habits for him if he shared some food with you. (Of course, it must be something you might find worth trading)

If not, then maybe you can try some restaurant that serves food in only one plate, he might like the idea.

If not, maybe you should give a super romantic speech:"Look honey I find so romantic when couples share food, I would love to try something you put your mouth on <3" :D

If this still doesn't work, no idea what to do, maybe you should just accept it.
