Thank you all for the responses - very thought provoking for sure. We had a long talk about it, and she said it 'wasnt the candy eating' that pissed her off; it was a feeling that I was taking her for granted. Odd huh?

Anyway, I explained how I disagreed with that statement by pointing to the roses and like a ton of bricks it hit her. All is good now, but this episode will be on my radar.

Thanks again all for letting me vent.

I have to ask you Gippy...It's just been on my mind. Are you or your SO in recovery? Or did you just come here for advice because us alcoholics are so good at screwing up Holidays.

I am in recovery from alcohol

Sapling

Gotcha...Me too. That's good.

Woman here, married, 18 years. I gave my hubby chocolates. He had one and I had not noticed, but I wanted one. The way i approached it was, "Have you had any of your candy?" he said he had one. So, i asked, "Are you sharing?" To which he replied, "Sure, you can have one." He does not offer because i am diabetic and watch my sugar and candy intake. He does not want to tempt me.

So, that is how it goes here. But, while I think you migh thave done better to ask before taking, I think she has a deepr axe to grind with you, especially with the taking her for granted issue she raised. The chocolates was a way for her to get mad at you for something else bothering her.

She didn't get you anything and wouldn't share the chocolate you gave her? Not nice..IMHO and I'm a chick
