Oh dogs… If you are a dog owner, then you know that although most of the times it's all wholesomeness and napping, sometimes, having a dog is like having a little tornado of chaos in your house. Pups will shred the gifts you buy them and have the time of their lives doing it. Dogs will steal your food right off your plate, knowing that they are not allowed to, and then act ashamed about it. Dogs will suddenly decide that they love movies and react to them with more emotion than you.

You never know what to expect with dogs. Anything and everything is pawssible at any time. And although yes, it does mean that it is easy to blame them for eating your girlfriend's snacks or stepping in her snacks so that they become inedible to her but still totally edible for you, that doesn't mean that you should. Let your girlfriend have her snacks in peace and do not blame the doggo.

    "Am I overreacting by blowing up at my boyfriend for always eating my snacks before I can"

    7:26 You didn't respond when I said I ate the Zebra cake after Zoe stepped on it. What was I supposed to say? You are it. It's gone. I don't know, something. To be honest, this happens a lot. You said "I assumed you didn't want to eat a stepped on Zebra cake after Zoe stepped on it" You didn't even ask. Maybe that's my fault for not telling you earlier it bothers me when you eat my snacks without asking. I don't want to nor so I have to eat my snacks within 2 days. You taking that me not eating

    7:26 > Like how dare I eat it. You even said "It was only sitting up there for a day" and when it comes to my stuff. You say "It was in there for x amount of time." I don't always like eating my stuff the day I get it. I may not even eat it within a week but I would like to know it's there when I want it. It's so frustrating to open the cabinet and go looking for my stuff. Then I ask you and you're like "yeah I ate it" you don't even replace it Even like the other day you called and asked if I w

    7:26 yes. It wasn't even in the fridge for 2 days and it was GONE. I feel like that wasn't genuine. Then I know you know it upset me because you brought all those snacks when you picked me up and tried to show me them to appease me. You didn't even address why I was upset. You Just tried to brush it under the rug and that made me even more mad. So right now I need time to myself to Just process this. I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't know if affected you that much. That's my fault for taking your

  • Okay… so this could have ended so much worse. When we started reading this, we did not think that there would be a happy ending. We think we've been conditioned to only expect bad in these situations. It was actually so uplifting to see you guys solve this situation so well, to understand each other, to communicate. Gives us hope. Thank you.

    There's really no more context needed. I know this happens a lot when he has the munchies and I guess I Just shrugged it off because of that.

    I don't know why it set me off so much this morning. I found my oatmeal cream pie wrapper on the ground and I asked if he ate it and he said "No, Zoe(our dog) got into that, I didn't even know you had it" okay whatever, I need to out it in a place where she can't get it.

    Then 5 minutes later as we're walking out the door he goes "I ate your Zebra cake, Zoe stepped on it so I assumed you didn't want to eat a stepped on Zebra cake" I didn't even say anything. I Just grabbed my book. Then I turn around and he's staring at me and I'm like "What?" He says "You didn't say anything after" and I'm like "I have nothing to say" and I sat in the car.

    I've been so bothered by it all day, it's probably because I'm about to be on my period and I really wanted a freaking oatmeal cream pie when I got off of work.

    I feel like it's not Just about the snacks. It's the principle of not being respected about this. I even bought him a honey bun and Swiss roll when I got my oatmeal cream pie and zebra cake and he ate it like that night/the next day. I could even eat either of mine.

    Severe Assistant5437 I really love the last messages how this ended. And I really laughed out loud about the pet frog comment! I think you have a valid point but the way you both worked through it with communication is admirable. I think he understood you were upset by asking why didn't you say anything, like he was a little afraid that it may have been over the line. He may have disrespected you in that moment but ultimately he has enough respect for you to listen to you and apologize. So I wou

    Honest-Tune3711 OP That means a lot because I've always been a "give the silent treatment until you're done being upset" person but I really do love him and I want to marry him. I know I can't do that even though I really want to so I can avoid confrontation.

    Shaneaux I've been with my husband 13 years and my biggest grudge against him is when he had the AUDACITY to eat my TACO TRUCK BURRITO that I HID in a capri sun box for a flavor HE DOES NOT LIKE. It's been YEARS and I'm still mad.

    Honest-Tune3711 OP Lmaooo see this makes me feel better. People who are in relationships and know what I mean. The worst was my Mr. Goodbar (which is why I brought it up in like 3 comments) I'm not a big chocolate person. Never have been, it makes my stomach hurt. But when I'm on my period I'm like I really need one... I woke up at 2am to go get it and it was GONE.

  • You can see that the readers online were as happy as we were by their comments. Usually, in cases like these, you would see people unilaterally saying that she should break up with him, but this time, instead of that, you have more stories of people sharing the way that they solves similar arguments, and we love that.

    Mysticfluffy95 There are people telling you to hide your stuff and all that. I think THAT would be an over exaggeration. You talked to him about it, he seemed to receive the message and understand your feelings. Give him a chance to change before going to the next step. Right now, in my opinion, you guys had a constructive conversation about it. That's the first step. No need to go further till you see the issue isn't solved.

    Honest-Tune3711 OP Yeah I'm not going to do that. Or break up with him for eating a zebra cake. I see what people mean now when they say the advice people on Reddit give is always an extreme Imao. I even said I should have communicated it earlier instead of Just brushing it off because that clearly made him think it was okay.

    AnnieB512 I had this same fight with my husband. He cannot help but consume all snacks in the house almost immediately. I've learned to either specifically tell him not to touch my stuff or to hide it when I get it. To be fair, he has come such a long way. He buys snacks specifically for me now and he always asks if he's going to eat something that he didn't purchase himself.

    Honest-Tune3711 OP I'm glad someone understands. ③like it's not the biggest deal on the planet but it is frustrating when it's 2am and I want to eat my Mr. Goodbar and it's gone Imao
