Her Husband Didn’t Want To Order Food When Asked, So This Woman Refused To Share Her Sandwich With Him

Marriage requires respect, even when it comes to food preferences.

This woman decided to order a sandwich for herself.

She asked her husband three times if he would like to order, too, but he said no.

When her sandwich arrived, her husband wanted some of it.

She gave him a few bites, but when he asked for more, things escalated.

Read the full story below for all the details.

I didn’t let my husband eat my sandwich.

My husband and I were chilling on the couch, and I mentioned I was hungry.

I placed an order from one of our favorite sandwich shops.

I asked him 3 times while ordering if he would like one as well, and he said no.

Three times. He said he had just had breakfast and wasn’t hungry.

This woman took a small bite of her sandwich and saved the rest for later.

The sandwich arrived, and I cut off a small bit of it to eat.

Then, I saved the rest for later.

I don’t have a large appetite. I’m kind of a grazer.

I took one bite, and he said, “Oh, I want a bite of that.”

Her husband ended up getting 3 small bites from her sandwich.

I said, “Why didn’t you order yourself one?”

“I wasn’t hungry until I smelled yours.”

I ended up letting him have 3 bites of mine and told him to order his own.

I don’t like sharing food unless it’s planned.

In their 10 years of marriage, she sometimes had to hide her food or else he would eat it.

He knows this.

We’ve been together for 10 years.

I literally have to hide snacks from him because he will find them and eat them.

Because I don’t eat all of it at once.

The delivery was taking so long, so he wanted to take another bite.

He ordered his sandwich. It’s 30 minutes delivery.

He wanted another bite of mine.

I said no.

Now, I’m a crazy, selfish hypocrite who won’t share food.

Now, they aren’t talking to each other.

He has now brought up every meal we’ve had the past two weeks as an example of his food generosity.

Mind you, every meal was planned to be shared.

Now, we aren’t speaking.

AITA?
