Living with your significant other can have it's difficulties and unpleasant situations, like living with any roommate. However, boundaries tend to be a bit different when sharing space with a SO as opposed to a roommate. You may feel more entitled to the other's belongings due to the nature of your relationship.

This Jerk BF certainly felt entitled to his girlfriend's delicious snacks (that she bought for herself)! When she politely asks him to please refrain from eating her special snacks, he became extremely dismissive. Not cool. When you live with another person, you need to respect their boundaries. And these snacks are indicative of a greater issue at play- if this jerk bf won't respect his girlfriend's boundaries when it comes to her snacks, what's next? Our recommendation to OP? Run.

    Font - AITA for putting all my snacks in the fridge in a lockable box? Not the A-hole So I live with my boyfriend and he finishes work earlier than me so he is always home first, Until I get home and we can make dinner it's not unusual for him to snack, 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 l don't buy many of them either.

    Font - At first I talked to him nicely about this telling him next time could he leave some and not eat everything, but when he was dismissive it led to an argument where things got a bit heated on both sides i'm ashamed to admit and he finally told me it was only snacks and he'd eat whatever he pleased in the fridge

    Font - 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, He was annoyed and angry at this saying I was being dramatic and it was just snacks, I was happy to share them but he wouldn't even leave me any so I made sure I got all. Perhaps it was petty to lock them up where he can't access but trying to talk to him failed, AITA? 8k 5 942 1, Share Award

    Font - Fionsomnia · 19h Partassipant [1] 4 Awards 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? NTA. 6 Reply 1 15.2k 3

    Font - ohsogreen · 18h Partassipant [3] O 1 Award NTA For me this sort of thing is a deal-breaker. Not because l'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.

    Font - _Cant_Recall · 15h O 1 Award The problem in this relationship isn't the snacks. It's the lack of respect for OPs feelings by completely dismissing their legitimate request. And also the hypocrisy. NTA 6 1 218
