Would you be upset if your partner ate your chocolate without asking?

Well, maybe you would be if they got new bars and didn’t want to share them with you.

This is exactly what happened in this situation, and the victim speaks out.

Let’s read the whole story.

WIBTA for saying something after my partner ate my chocolate then were reluctant to share theirs?

This is such a small silly thing that I feel like I’m being dramatic for being bothered by it.

Situation is, my partner has a medical condition.

There is a small amount of data that suggests dark chocolate might help with their symptoms.

I had about half a bar of nice chilli-flavoured dark chocolate which I only allow myself to buy while it’s on offer, because otherwise it’s pretty expensive.

He is generous.

It was in the front pocket of a bag we both had clothes in from an overnight trip.

I’d found it on offer in a supermarket where we were staying on that trip.

Last night, my partner informed me they’d finished the bar of chocolate, apologised, and said they’d get me a new bar the next morning (this morning) on their walk.

This morning, they came back with several bars of dark chocolate, but not the chilli-flavoured one.

But he thought it was fair to get his chocolate back.

They said it was too expensive at the shop they went to.

I said fine, okay, can I have some of their stack of dark chocolate instead?

And they pause for several seconds, then reluctantly say “fine, but only a bit because this is basically medicinal now”.

He lost a bit of his patience, but felt bad about it.

I am annoyed because they ate the rest of my nice chocolate (they know it’s my favourite, they know I only buy it when I can find it on offer, and they know I only had half of one bar left).

They said they’d replace it, but then didn’t because the shop was too expensive; and then were stingy about sharing theirs.

I can’t tell if me being annoyed is ridiculous, so I haven’t said anything about it yet.

I don’t want to start an argument over something inconsequential.

That’s what I’m trying to find out.

WIBTA if I said something about this?

No issue is too small if it’s a pattern that is harming someone.

Let’s see what Reddit thinks about this.

It’s the principle!

Well said.

His partner is basically trying to rip him off.

Exactly.

Another reader shares their opinion.

That doesn’t sound like love.

What they did was a red flag, for sure.
