Her Boyfriend Eats All Her Snacks So She Bought A Lockable Box To Put Them In And She’s Asking The Internet If That Was Petty
A woman currently lives with her boyfriend, and he always gets off work before she does, so he’s the first one to get home every evening.
When she comes home she makes dinner for both of them, and in the meantime, her boyfriend eats a lot of snacks until she gets back.
“…This wouldn’t be an issue if he ate his own snacks or didn’t eat all of mine, but often when I come home I find all my snacks that I love are finished and I don’t buy many of them either,” she explained.
She tried to kindly request that he not eat all the snacks and leave at least a few for her, but he got upset and they began arguing.
In the end, her boyfriend said to her that he would eat whatever he liked and she couldn’t stop him from doing that.
“Finally annoyed by this I bought a small lockable box and put it in the fridge it is now where I store my snacks to ensure I can at least get some of them,” she said.
Her boyfriend was mad when he found the locked box in the fridge. She again made it clear to her boyfriend that she had no problem sharing her snacks with him, but it wasn’t right that he wouldn’t leave some for her to enjoy too.
She’s left wondering if it was petty of her to have to lock up her snacks, and her boyfriend is refusing to talk to her about this issue.

“Lol. So he told you it’s not a big deal if you don’t get to eat any snacks, and now he’s making a big deal out of not being able to eat the snacks himself?”
“What horrible ailment has befallen your BF that makes it impossible for him to get his own snacks?”
“I think you really need to question your relationship, if you are to the point of locking up your snacks that just doesn’t seem like a healthy long-term relationship. For a roommate maybe? But definitely not a boyfriend.”
“He does not seem like a keeper.”
“He literally told you that he won’t respect your boundaries and cares little for your happiness. This isn’t a long-term keeper. Ditch him and free your snacks.”
“It’s the not respecting of boundaries and basic consideration for you that worries me, even though/especially because it’s over something small.”
“This is not a good look on him.”
“See, sometimes I’ll get a snack I like, or my boyfriend will surprise me with some and we’ll open it and snack together.”
“He would never polish it off without warning, even if he’s the one who bought it. He’ll usually jokingly say something like “you want anymore? Because you know I’m gonna eat it all before you get to it again…” and I’ll let him know if I want more or if he’s free to finish it.”
“If I tell him I do still want some, he’ll put it up and leave it alone because, y’know, he’s an adult.”
“For me, this sort of thing is a deal-breaker. Not because I’m so fond of snacks but because it’s a symptom of a larger problem-lack of respect and ignoring boundaries and simple common courtesy.”
“If someone can’t honor a reasonable request to keep their paws off your stuff, how are they going to react to the larger issues?”
“He’s telling you what is important to you (even in a small way) is of zero importance to him. People tell you who they are. Listen to them.”
