I was the youngest of three, 2 sisters and the first boy on mom’s side in like 4 generations. I had to share EVERYTHING.

Grew up saying, “go ahead, they’re making more” when others were territorial.

I refuse to share my Tillamook ice cream with the wife. Because she will eat it all up. While her expensive diet crap just sits there.


About once a month, the wife will want me to grab some bagged salads on my weekend grocery run. The conversation is the same every time, me asking her if she's really going to eat two bagged salads this week or should I spend that $10 on Bagel bites or ice cream instead. Then she says she is really going to eat them this time. And the next Saturday when I'm unloading groceries again I have to throw away the two untouched and now expired salads to make room for what she will actually eats.

I don't have a SO but when I did there wasn't anything that wasn't communal.

If I know she bought something specifically to bring to work for lunch for the week I won’t touch it, otherwise everything is communal.

Aside from a "hey, I bought X amount of X to make for dinner, please don't eat that" general deals, no.

Everything is communal here. And we pretty regularly buy shite that we know the other likes when out shopping.

I would never, ever buy them for her if that's the case.

This is how I feel, but damn it needs to be declared. You rarely take lunch, now you are pissy for 5 minutes cause I ate the good yogurt? Where my wife is a psycho is take home food from a restaurant. I have a 13 yo boy, a 16 yo boy and me in this house. The only time anyone touches her food she brought home is if I do it just to get the house spiced up for a bit. The boys would just wither and die before eating her half a quesadilla.

My husband if VERY territorial about his stupid Gatorades. Like dude you live in a house with 3 kids - they (us) are gonna drink the drinks in the fridge. We can buy more...werido.



My problem is that people in my household claim to "hate orange Gatorade" because "it's disgusting." Yet my Gatorade disappears because said people drink the shite out them.

There are things she thinks are just for her.

sounds like both of you suck. If she buys something specifically for herself, ask her if you can have one. If she sees that you want to drink them, she should buy more than she wants and offer you one. What is wrong with both of you assholes?

That garbage is unhealthy so neither of us would buy or drink it.
But the only thing she hates to share is popcorn. I don't really like it, but will sometimes grab a small amount of hers to tease her. It is a running joke between us.
Otherwise, we are very communal in such things. If it is in the pantry or fridge, it is fair game.
Just take measures to resupply what is used.

Like it's already opened and sitting on a coaster and you decided to just take it?

Or you took one of many unopened ones in the fridge?

SO and I share everything. If we run out, we buy more. When my daughters were little the general rule was if you can reach it, you can have it. That worked well until they figured out where the step stool was hidden.
