Some people are more territorial than others. Whether it's about clothing, people, or food, sometimes you can't get someone to share with you the thing that you want from them. Being with a territorial person is not everyone's cup of tea. I know for myself that I love to share. When I'm cooking or eating with a partner I adore sharing food together, it's part of the whole experience of dining and it's a love language for me. Not everyone feels the same, and in fact, it's not on the hierarchy of dining for a lot of people.
 

And what about territorial with people? Some partners are more possessive than others. I just got a message from an ex's current girlfriend telling me to stay away from her boyfriend. That won't be a problem, and we already broke up. I hope he's happy with her, and doesn't feel the constant nag and gnaw of jealousy's sharp teeth in his flesh every day with her. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

  • Okay, let's just admit right here right now that the husband is obviously in the wrong. He knows his wife's eating habits after 10 years of marriage, he told her he didn't want a sandwich, and over three bites is starting to feel like he's eating more of the sandwich than she is. But if they're both not speaking to each other then they're both immature.

    shops. I asked him 3 times while ordering if he would like one as well and he said no. 3 times. He had just had breakfast and wasn't hungry.

    The sandwich arrived and I cut off a small bit of it to eat then and save the rest for later. I don't have a large appetite- I'm kind of a grazer.

    I take one bite and he says "oh I want a bite of that". I said, "why didn't you order yourself one?"

    I ended up letting him have 3 bites of mine and told him to order his own. I don't like sharing food unless it's planned. He

    knows this. We've been together for 10 years. I literally have to hide snacks from him because he will find them and eat them because I don't eat all of it at once.

    1. We each have snacks. we don't have to share, 2. He's not allowed to ask for my snack until I open it. After I open it, it's fair game cause it will take me forever to eat a bag of chips.
