Abigail4476 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Nah. I wouldn't care. :) As for germs...well, he already kisses me with that mouth, so why would it bother me for his mouth to touch my ice cream bar? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Nope, wouldn't bother me. We'd likely be sharing it anyway. And I've made three babies with him, so the germ thing is a non-issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmkzbcb Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) If it was done without asking first, I would find it rude. If it was a pre-established ritual, not rude at all. However, I enjoy having the first taste and dh knows this so he respects my food desires, and I respect his. Which he sometimes wants to eat half of what I am eating. LOL It's all fair in love and war, right? Edited May 5, 2011 by lmkzbcb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well, I am clearly in the minority, LOL. DH said I am insane. The whole thing was pretty much ruined for me. There were lip marks in the chocolate. :ack2: The sigh was not to make fun of anyone. I put it because Dh was being all gooshy, "We're married, we share everything. How can you be mad?" :glare: FWIW, I probably would have offered him a bite. I usually do, but opening up that paper and seeing that first, precious bite gone. :svengo: The bolded would bug me. There are some things I don't mind sharing but there are quite a few that I do mind. The sharing of food to me means you can have your own plate or bowl and have half of what I have. The same with the sharing of drinks. Dh thinks nothing of sharing a drink. It makes me bonkers. I actually just give him my drink once he drinks from my cup or bottle. I don't share shampoo, soap or lotion with dh either. My mom has been known to wear my dad's clean socks if her feet are cold. I can't fathom wearing dh's socks. The idea just makes me cringe. I think the only personal item I would willingly share with dh is his clean sweatshirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I guess I'm weird. Yes, it would bother me!! Now if dh purchased a bar for me , and then I offered him a bite -- that would be more like it. And likewise, I would never take a bite of his first because I'd feel I was being disrespectful. I might possibly ask if he minded me having a bite, but I wouldn't actually take one unless he wanted to share it with me. Believe me, we do share a lot, but it is always done with consideration.

Crissy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I wouldn't be bothered. And if I cared for ice cream at all, I might do the same. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, I admit that it would bother me a bit. Dh knows I'm very possessive of my food. I grew up with four brothers. You had to stake a claim or it would get eaten! :tongue_smilie: I'd offer him a bite, though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 no "other" on the poll?? ;) I'm so used to my husband stealing my food and taking bites of things it wouldn't bother me.

joannqn Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 In our house, we charge a tax for things like opening a soda can, pouring a drink, or getting something. Tax, of course, is a bite or sip. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I voted that it wouldn't bother me, but mostly because I am the one more likely to take a bite of dh's ice cream bar. ;) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It wouldn't bother me in the least, not even if one of the kids do it. I don't really have food issues. I don't even mind if someone else takes the last of something as long as they let me know so that I can replace it. Also, even though I am extremely OCD about sticky stuff, I have no problem what-so-ever eating something that my grandbaby has slobbered on and spit out. I do have a question though: for the people that it bothers, is it a germ thing or an ownership thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh, I sure hope not, I do that to dh all. the. time.:001_tt2: That poor man hasn't had an unlicked ice cream treat since we were married! :iagree: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacus2 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Order your own. Do not take a bite of mine unless I offered to share. We can afford two ice cream bars; if you would like one, order one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmkzbcb Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I do have a question though: for the people that it bothers, is it a germ thing or an ownership thing? Neither, it is just socially unacceptable. I wouldn't expect that kind of behavior from my friend, why would it be different just because we are married. I expect dh to treat me with deference just as he would with others. Unless it is an already established ritual or pattern previously discussed and agreed upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh, I sure hope not, I do that to dh all. the. time.:001_tt2: That poor man hasn't had an unlicked ice cream treat since we were married! same here.

WishboneDawn Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No. He'd take the bite and then I'd give him the evil eye and then we'd tease each other pretending to be angry/offended for the next hour. It would eventually end in giggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No it wouldn't bother me and at this point I would be thrilled. There is so little that dh can eat while we are out because of gluten. We used to do this while out and now can mostly only do it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I consider myself pretty possessive about my food, and it still wouldn't bother me. The first bite I'm not concerned about. What really gets me is when someone tries to take one of the last bites of a cookie, because I time it perfectly to run out at the same time as the milk.

twoforjoy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 One bite, no. If he ate half of it, though, I'd be annoyed. But I'm pregnant right now, so my perspective on people eating food I've been looking forward to is a bit skewed. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, it would annoy me. If you want a bite of my food, have the courtesy to ask first. I would never eat any of his food or sip his drink without permission either. Yeah, I would be a little annoyed. Not enough to start WWIII, hey, it's a simple courtesy to ask. And I most certainly would have shared. Now, if he had said "I bought this for us to share" I would not have thought anything about it.

Lady Florida. Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It wouldn't bother me in the least. However, we've been together long enough (19 yrs., married 17) that dh would know if it bothered me and he wouldn't do it if it did. As for being grossed out over sharing spit, um, we're married. We've done some sharing. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mejane Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I said yes, because that's something dh is famous for. He can't walk by someone with food without asking for or just grabbing a bit. Apparently, they always did that in his family, but it annoys the life out of the kids and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) If your spouse ordered you an ice cream bar at Costco while you waited at a table and then presented it to you with a bite out of it(because he or she just wanted a bite), would it bug you? Poll to follow no. i would be shocked if he didn't take a bite. LOL, whoever said "tax" is a bite. we do the same thing! we call it "payment" here. :) oh, we don't share everything though. i HATE when people drink out of my water bottle. i don't know why, as they can have a sip from another type drink. but sharing my water bottle totally grosses me out & everyone in my family is aware of my dysfunction here. back away from the bottle.

It honestly wouldn't make the tiniest blip on my radar screen. If I'd asked him to grab me a tiny Hershey's kiss and taken a bite off that first, then I'd be a bit surprised and perhaps a bit annoyed, but a full-size ice cream bar is meant to be shared, imo!
