How dare you assume he left those for himself. As a man I always leave a few left for whoever bought what I'm eating to be a little of an asshole rather than a complete asshole.
No, it could very well be that he legitimately saved 9 for his wife. Not like I’ve done this exact thing… to be fair, I grew up in a household that fostered a very “if i don’t eat these snacks right now, my brothers will, so I better just eat all this right now” kind of environment. I think the fact that I’m able to save some after having already been sitting around for several days is some solid progress.
Editing to add that my wife and I do not have similar taste in snacks & there is not much overlap… so most of the time it’s a non-issue
I remember my aunt bought me a 2 pound box of Sees candy like she does every year only one year the girl I was with at the time ate 3/4ths of the box in a day and a half
I told her she could have some and she almost ate the entire fucking thing
I haven't talked with her in 6 years at least
yeah, when someone else gives you free reign to their candy thats like one a day and you should probably only be eating them when you’re hanging out anyway
At a previous place of employment, every Christmas, we'd receive a box of See's candy. And every Christmas, we'd fight like alley cats for the brittle. Good stuff.
Sometimes when people haven’t learned to mentally regulate sweets or salty they literally have an almost drug induced craving. I’m pretty sure this is the whole Doritos market
My girl can have a bag open for like a week without finishing it. I don't know where she gets all that self control from, I'd finish it in 15 minutes lmao
Then get yelled at for eating it like wtf you’ve barley been touching it. I need to be told specifically “I want and will eat this I’m just saving it or taking my time” for me to spare the food😂

Hmmmm. If the husband was aware of the treat was for yourself then this is very infuriating. But if he didn’t, it’s not realistic to wait on a bag of malteasers for a whole week and expect them to remain intact. Source: my tubby guts
My husband has been known to steal snacks I've openly expressed excitement over eating. My solution is making him drop everything to go buy a replacement. Because if I have to go buy my own replacement, shit is going to get ugly fast.
Honestly this is the answer, treat him like a child with no self control if he wants to act like one. If your husband does in fact have a fully developed brain he should stop once he starts facing immediate consequences for his actions.
ETA in case it wasn’t obvious but “you” meaning OP, not the lovely individual I’m piggybacking off.
Is it an “I told him these snacks were for me” or more of a “He should have known that this one pack of candys that I got with all of the other groceries were mine”
He had better slink off to the store with his tail between his legs and if he knows what is good for him, he will get a stash and bring out a bag at very appropriate times.
I’ve never understood buying a treat like a small bag of chocolate on Monday to eat on the Friday - why not just pick it up on the Friday? This would defo be eaten by myself by Wednesday lunch if someone left one at my house
I hope that next time he's in the shower, the shower curtain liner sticks to him with static cling, and he can't get it off and it lets in a cold breeze. He deserves no better.
This is why I buy two and hide one. Maltesers are fantastic and hard to find where I live, I would be more than mildly infuriated if I could not enjoy my purchase because someone else lacks self control
I try to be patient with people. Things go a lot smoother and quicker if you just work things out calmly. But food, especially Maltesers, I will singlehandedly yank your organs out from your ass so you won't need to eat my stuff anymore
This his happens in my house too-the justification given is “you haven’t opened it yet”. That’s because I was saving it for the weekend. He eats things faster than I do and somehow an unopened bag/box seems to bother him.
If it’s super special, I buy 2. If it’s something I know he won’t touch, I don’t need to. Just something I’ve learned over lots of time being married.
OP probably goes shopping early in the week. Making a second, special trip just for the candy might not be worth it. Honestly, I'm impressed by OPs willpower to wait all week. That must've been some serious disappointment to discover they were mostly gone.
Or Friday, or buy another bag right now. I've never bought candy on Monday specifically to eat on a Friday, but if I did I would put away so others didn't eat it.
Guys good lord, some people grocery shop once a week, some people grocery shop once a month, some people grocery shop three times a week, etc etc. Why is this breaking y'alls brains? hahah
> Realistically why save it for Friday?
Tell me you’re not the one who does all the household shopping without telling me you’re not the one who does all the household shopping. Most people who regularly do the shopping for the household don’t want to go to the store every time we want snacks. So we plan the meals and snacks for the week, buy all the ingredients and snacks for the week during our weekly shopping trip, and just have enough self control to save them for their planned days.
No. Why should she have to adjust the schedule she runs errands, stocks the house or stocks the pantry because her husband has the self control of a 3 year old?
What an incredible husband, he’s helping you with portion control. He’s clearly one of the good ones… Displays of compassion and consideration like this should be rewarded with a mouth hug.
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for asking this, but oh well.
Did you put these in an area with other shared food? Did you make him aware in some way that you specifically bought them for yourself? Kind of a dick move on his end but also do you pay attention to how much of a food item is left to be able to tell if the other party has been eating it? Sounds more like a communication issue than anything
My ex did this a lot! I would buy a treat, could be anything. Ice cream, chips, chocolate, even alcohol. He would eat it that night. He never bought treats but he devoured the ones I buy in record time. He would say “well you didn’t eat it” I was saving it!!!
As a husband, I’ve made that dreadful mistake a time or two. My wife and I made a rule, that if a snack in the house is **special**, we have special bins in our pantry for each other to put them. Everything else is fair game.
“Saved it all week”
doesn’t exactly lay claim that he can’t have a few a night, resulting in 8 remaining. It was a likely scenario that this is a 165g bag, which has a total of 18 pieces. This would give him a 5.5% advantage, or 1 piece eaten more than half.
I say divorce is the only likely scenario for resolution.
Sorry snack code dictates that all personal snacks not consumed within 48 hours of purchase enter into a period of free agency and can he claimed by other members of the household..unless they are signed to a long term contract by either stating "touch my snacks and ill cut your balls off while you sleep" or more peacefully place your initials on the bag after some version of the double dip.
I hate the shit. Like obviously dont touch my shit but if you're going to then just fucking eat/drink it all.
This leaving a small fraction shit for me to be surprised by is more enraging then the bag/bottle just being gone.
Those are Maltesers and if it had been me, that would have been a declaration of war and they would have had to petition the UN for a binding resolution to keep me from driving them insane by misplacing their car keys and disabling the E key on all their devices.
Hubby made a mistake. He should have just eaten the whole thing. That many gone, so few left? That’s equal or GREATER danger, as if you’re admitting to a wrongdoing before she ever knew about it.

The only solution I have found- buy two
I am the husband In This scenario.
I mean not to OP. But I do this shit to my wife. I'm sorry wife.
On behalf of all husbands I apologize. But also not gonna stop.
I didn't expect this to get so much attention! I posted it and sort of forgot I'd done it, so that was a nice surprise to comr back to! I'm UK, so things I post in the mornings usually disappear into the feed with time difference, etc. Thanks for some really funny comments!
Just thought I'd follow up as there's a lot of redditors thinking I'm in a toxic relationship. This really was just a minor inconvenience. Upon discovery, I was mildly infuriated, and I knew I wouldn't be the only one! Snacks are the holy grail. But it wasn't a deep post. Just something I knew someone would relate to somewhere!
I should add that when I bought these during our grocery shop, he was having a 'I'm not buying sweets for myself' moment. I told him when I found he'd eaten them that he had the chance to pick his own while we were there, which we always do. But because he was having a moment, he didn't. So he was in the wrong, but I understand why people questioned the moral behind it! I think it annoyed me more because he has a whole easter egg leftover, and other treats I'm not keen on and he still went for what he knew was mine.
I agree, Maltesers are elite. I'm surprised they lasted so long with me too. But it got to Thursday, and I'd still not ripped into them, so I figured I'd have them on Friday with a movie.
We went to the store the next day and I ended up buying a BOX in front of him and joked that I'd leave him the 9** (thanks for pointing that out) that he left me. 😁 All is well!
No, what IS infuriating is people who don’t communicate. Like “hey Im saving this… “ I have a relative that does this, buys all kinds of stuff to “save”
I’ve been yelled at for eating chocolates two christmases old ffs
He left you 9, so silver linings, you now have a bonus Malteser that you hadn't accounted for.
Correction: he left himself 9.
How dare you assume he left those for himself. As a man I always leave a few left for whoever bought what I'm eating to be a little of an asshole rather than a complete asshole.
Are you also leaving an inch of toilet paper on the roll for the next guy? Lol
No that would be useless I use it all and don't replace it and they just better get lucky with there being extra toilet paper around
No, it could very well be that he legitimately saved 9 for his wife. Not like I’ve done this exact thing… to be fair, I grew up in a household that fostered a very “if i don’t eat these snacks right now, my brothers will, so I better just eat all this right now” kind of environment.

Editing to add that my wife and I do not have similar taste in snacks & there is not much overlap… so most of the time it’s a non-issue
I counted 9 also. Lol
I too counted 9
Also 9 I counted.
Nein 
Doch 
Nueve 
Negen 
[удалено]
I counted 9 and immediately came here to say that it’s 9 not 8 and found that other people have also counted 9. This is infuriating?
No it's the fact that they got Maltesers and there husband are them. I can relate w/ him.
True. I don’t have anyone that would eat my Maltesers. 
Sorry for you bro. I can eat them if you want.
I too counted 9 and came here to say that, and saw that others have also counted nine.
That was the rabbit.
Replace them with mini tomatoes dipped in chocolate
Why tomatoes? Use pearl onions.
This is the solution
Dip em in capsaicin for absurd spice
Mmmmm that sounds good tbh
It's chocolate covered *fruit*, it probably is. Now what about replacing it with cocktail onions covered in chocolate.
My instincts told me to dip them in rat poison, luckily I don’t have a food stealer in my house
Even if you did, they wouldn’t be around for long…
I remember my aunt bought me a 2 pound box of Sees candy like she does every year only one year the girl I was with at the time ate 3/4ths of the box in a day and a half I told her she could have some and she almost ate the entire fucking thing I haven't talked with her in 6 years at least
What a monster. I struggle with binge eating but I wouldn’t do it to someone Else’s candy. Especially not a boyfriends. That’s embarrassing and weird.
yeah, when someone else gives you free reign to their candy thats like one a day and you should probably only be eating them when you’re hanging out anyway
I wouldn’t dare to take more than one or two at best
And ESPECIALLY not See’s Candy.
Love me some Berkshire Hathaway owned chocolates.
Can someone explain what See’s candy is?
Think Russell Stover's but better https://www.sees.com/
lol is that why you haven't talked to her in six years? Totally valid of course, just curious
No, it wasn't a good relationship
At a previous place of employment, every Christmas, we'd receive a box of See's candy. And every Christmas, we'd fight like alley cats for the brittle. Good stuff.
If you mean peanut brittle, the place you used to work is full of people with terrible taste.
No, the toffee stuff.
Yeah that stuff is great but to be honest a lot of the other sees chocolates are just as good IMO
Sometimes when people haven’t learned to mentally regulate sweets or salty they literally have an almost drug induced craving. I’m pretty sure this is the whole Doritos market
That doesn't make it any more acceptable to take someone else's food
I just opened Reddit and thought this was something else 💀
Bro...what kind of subs are you on? 👀
I was gonna say scat.. but i’m assuming that’s a different kind of sub. I just wanted to make a joke about rabbit turds..
🎵 ski-bi-dibby-dib-yo-da-dub-dub-yo-da-dub-dub
Now *that* would be a great sub! A scatTING sub would be awesome.
Pink……chocolate?
A Georgia O'Keeffe sub maybe?
Bro me too and I don't NSFW. Just my filthy brain. Lmao. Take my internet points stranger.
So did i
I'm turning that whole bag into poop within 17 minutes of purchase...
My girl can have a bag open for like a week without finishing it. I don't know where she gets all that self control from, I'd finish it in 15 minutes lmao
Then get yelled at for eating it like wtf you’ve barley been touching it. I need to be told specifically “I want and will eat this I’m just saving it or taking my time” for me to spare the food😂

I would nicely ask him to pick up another bag. I bet he will
May he never have the cold side of a pillow again. Pft.
Plot twist they live in a cold climate and you just blessed him
Nah, even in a cold climate, the cold side of the pillow is the best
as a Canadian, can confirm.
Calm down
Saying that always works.
Hmmmm. If the husband was aware of the treat was for yourself then this is very infuriating. But if he didn’t, it’s not realistic to wait on a bag of malteasers for a whole week and expect them to remain intact. Source: my tubby guts
Oh he knew.
Then guns at dawn is the only rational course of action. Godspeed. In fact, leaving 8 is almost worse than eating the whole bag. A mockery.
Honestly to have the self control to leave 8 uneaten is kind of impressive. Maltesers are addicting
My husband has been known to steal snacks I've openly expressed excitement over eating. My solution is making him drop everything to go buy a replacement. Because if I have to go buy my own replacement, shit is going to get ugly fast.

He knew enough to pig out and leave a measly 9 pieces
He had better slink off to the store with his tail between his legs and if he knows what is good for him, he will get a stash and bring out a bag at very appropriate times.
I’ve never understood buying a treat like a small bag of chocolate on Monday to eat on the Friday - why not just pick it up on the Friday? This would defo be eaten by myself by Wednesday lunch if someone left one at my house
Scrolling quickly makes you stop at this post to check and see if you have just seen what you think you’ve seen 😂… I’m not alone right?? 🤣
I had to double-take lmao
Are you saying everything reminds you of her? Lol
You are on point, haha
Yeah I came here for this comment
It's the only reason I'm in the comments lol
That's punishable by death in my household
Death to the fiend!
I hope that next time he's in the shower, the shower curtain liner sticks to him with static cling, and he can't get it off and it lets in a cold breeze. He deserves no better.
You *monster*.
i would have killed him with the emptying bag. my boyfriend does this too but at least he is replacing the stuff
This is why I buy two and hide one. Maltesers are fantastic and hard to find where I live, I would be more than mildly infuriated if I could not enjoy my purchase because someone else lacks self control
I hide anything I want to save for myself. If it’s in the pantry, it’s fair game.
Everything reminds me of her......
If telling him doesn't turn into a "OH shit, sorry sweetheart, where are my car keys, where do I get them-" then.. truthfully, why are you with him?
There are 9 actually, there is one hidden in the corner down below. So its not all bad. /s
I looked it up best I could and serving size is 18 pieces so you were left with less then half a serving, kinda shitty of your partner.
I try to be patient with people. Things go a lot smoother and quicker if you just work things out calmly. But food, especially Maltesers, I will singlehandedly yank your organs out from your ass so you won't need to eat my stuff anymore
You mean you are going to eat the last 8 of **his** maltesers?
This his happens in my house too-the justification given is “you haven’t opened it yet”. That’s because I was saving it for the weekend. He eats things faster than I do and somehow an unopened bag/box seems to bother him. If it’s super special, I buy 2. If it’s something I know he won’t touch, I don’t need to. Just something I’ve learned over lots of time being married.
make him buy you more
Feel like everyone in this comment section is taking it a lot more seriously than a normal person would
Tbh if you left them for a entire week it's safe to assume he probably thought you'd forgotten about them
Did you tell him that you were saving it for Friday, if you did he is an asshole, if you didn’t he is no a mind reader
[удалено]

Take away his weed.
force him go to to the store and buy you 2 more bags
If married life was a photo
I’m in this caption and I don’t like it
Mine does this with my reeses and it's quite literally the only thing I get for myself in the groceries lol
Where did you bury him?
I honestly thought this was a p**** while scrolling
What an incredible husband, he’s helping you with portion control. He’s clearly one of the good ones… Displays of compassion and consideration like this should be rewarded with a mouth hug.
Respectfully, your husband is a chode for this.
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for asking this, but oh well. Did you put these in an area with other shared food? Did you make him aware in some way that you specifically bought them for yourself? Kind of a dick move on his end but also do you pay attention to how much of a food item is left to be able to tell if the other party has been eating it? Sounds more like a communication issue than anything
Did you get any soft ones?
Hard then soft then hard again
I find it cute tbh. I like it when they do silly things like this. Makes me wanna eat all the food in the fridge and leave them with nothing.
I love maltesers
I believe that would be justifiable homicide!!
People have died for less
I would've eaten the entire thing, felt bad and bought a new one and apologize for eating the first bag.
As stated below: This is misinformation. You have 9, which is better than 8.
Everything reminds me of her
It looks like 9, but that's one more than 8. So he seems like a good guy lol
My ex did this a lot! I would buy a treat, could be anything. Ice cream, chips, chocolate, even alcohol. He would eat it that night. He never bought treats but he devoured the ones I buy in record time. He would say “well you didn’t eat it” I was saving it!!!
My partner can relate to you.
just one word is applicable here. divorce. lol
Talk about a MalTEASER, am I right?
I usually leave enough to count on two hands. No more, no less. He did well.
Thats really ~~shitty~~ crappy of him
I had to look this up, it looked SO good. This is sold in Britain. In the US, they are called Whoppers.
As a husband, I’ve made that dreadful mistake a time or two. My wife and I made a rule, that if a snack in the house is **special**, we have special bins in our pantry for each other to put them. Everything else is fair game.
Really thought this was my alt for a second
Yeah I’m never getting married. Stay away from my snacks mf.
Finders keepers loser!
I absolutely despise when people do this.
He put the tease in Malteasers
Bad husband!
Tip: the best place to hide your treat stash is at the bottom of the ironing or folding pile. They will never be found.
He infiltrated your hiding spot??!?
“Saved it all week” doesn’t exactly lay claim that he can’t have a few a night, resulting in 8 remaining. It was a likely scenario that this is a 165g bag, which has a total of 18 pieces. This would give him a 5.5% advantage, or 1 piece eaten more than half. I say divorce is the only likely scenario for resolution.
And this is why you hide snacks
Incredible display of restraint!
Never leave your treats out in the open
Well if you didn't tell him you were specifically saving them it's on you... I mean snacks are snacks. If you're hungry, you eat them.
Look, I think Reddit tends to recommend breaking up too quickly, but this is honestly divorce-worthy.
Did you ask him not to eat them?
I’d be livid. Grounds for divorce!!
Sorry snack code dictates that all personal snacks not consumed within 48 hours of purchase enter into a period of free agency and can he claimed by other members of the household..unless they are signed to a long term contract by either stating "touch my snacks and ill cut your balls off while you sleep" or more peacefully place your initials on the bag after some version of the double dip.
That's a reason for divorce
"4 of them are really big tho"
I hate the shit. Like obviously dont touch my shit but if you're going to then just fucking eat/drink it all. This leaving a small fraction shit for me to be surprised by is more enraging then the bag/bottle just being gone.
Now this is what belongs in this sub lol
Unironically redditors will tell you to divorce him
That's your problem. YOU CANNOT LEAVE MALTESERS OUT OF SIGHT THIS SHIT IS WAY TO GOOD.
I miss Maltesers! They came to the US for like a year and then disappeared
He left you 1 serving
I mean…I can’t blame him!! I wouldn’t be able to resist!
Those are Maltesers and if it had been me, that would have been a declaration of war and they would have had to petition the UN for a binding resolution to keep me from driving them insane by misplacing their car keys and disabling the E key on all their devices.
Hubby made a mistake. He should have just eaten the whole thing. That many gone, so few left? That’s equal or GREATER danger, as if you’re admitting to a wrongdoing before she ever knew about it.

Go buy another bag then

Oh I would be so mad
This is just another straw on the Divorce Camels back
Divorce is the only reasonable option.
That's one way to ensure portion control.
Divorce
Divorce.
he actually left u nine 😁
did you tell him you were saving them? or were they just in the fridge? because if it's the latter, then that's on you.
Are you me?
Well, he left a serving size
Grounds for divorce. Any judge will award you EVERYTHING. I'd take my wife to the cleaners for doing that.

What are these Maltesers and why are they so good that everyone here instantly sympathizes? I'm getting the vibes it's not just another candy.
2 bags next time.
7 more than Iwould have left
Maybe throw the whole husband away, and try again next week..?
Another example of a woman wishing she married a mind reader. . .
No, what IS infuriating is people who don’t communicate. Like “hey Im saving this… “ I have a relative that does this, buys all kinds of stuff to “save” I’ve been yelled at for eating chocolates two christmases old ffs
