I acknowledge, as a father and husband, that a lot of things that were singularly mine before just aren’t. My wife steals my clothes, wife and kids steal my food, kids steal my phone, I’m fine with it (most of the time), but I just needed one thing to myself without hurting feelings and making someone cry because everybody is sensitive in this house….including me.
Sometimes I just want to be at a quiet place to enjoy some food but the thing is i never get my peace. Even with something as basic as eating I get disturbed all the time.
I bought a single-serve piece of cake and ate it in my car without any wife sneaking bits or kids licking the chocolate from the top. Unfortunately got caught, wife is upset with me for going so far as to eat cake while hiding in my car and called me dramatic when I told her my reasoning.
But she won’t listen and call me selfish. The thing is, I just wanted to eat something sweet to escape from the stress of life in a peaceful place.
Am I?
Here is what netizen thinks:
- rookie mistake. Next time, eat it in the parking lot of where you bought it and use the outside trash can to throw away the evidence.
Source: My ex tried to eat everything I bought.
- If it’s McDonald’s, also carry Febreeze. My ex was so weird with food. I remember us eating dinner one night and he cleared the table and I caught him scraping my scraps on my plate with his fingers to eat.
- get her a piece too. But eat yours privately.
- This is what I do. I’ve also gone and picked up food and drive to the beach and just sat there to eat in peace, with only water and no people.
