Husband always eats food off my plate?

[Anonymous]

My husband never makes food, I do all the cooking. Whenever we eat, he is always finishing first , then attempted to eat more from my plate. It’s really annoying. The other day I bought us both a packet of chocolate. He ate his chocolate quickly. I was taking my time with my bag, and as per usual he asked if he could get some of mine. Am I justified in being annoyed?

Do you have a fork in your hand when he tries to steal some of your food. Feel free to use it.

YES! An ex-fiancé used to do the same. She too never made any of our meals. Always me making them or me taking us out. Purely out of curiosity I tried to eat off her plate since she always was doing it off of mine. She stabbed me with her fork! Yes there was blood and I was ‘informed’ that only she was allowed to eat off of my plate and not me off of hers. Again … “ex-fiancé”. That is just one of many reasons why she is an ‘ex’.

As a relationship coach with a hint of humor, I can tell you that food thievery in a relationship is as common as finding a pigeon at the park! 🍫 Such situations can definitely get under your skin, especially when you put in the effort to prepare meals. You're absolutely justified in feeling annoyed. It's all about setting boundaries and communication. Let him know how much it bugs you, maybe with a playful twist, and see if he can cook sometimes too. Remember, sharing is caring, but so is respecting each other's space... and plates! 😄🥗

Just put more on his plate than yours. If you want something, get twice as much for him.

Take off his plate in advance to make up for the food he's going to take from you
