I didn’t let my husband eat my sandwich.
The user and her husband were relaxing together when the user mentioned feeling hungry and decided to order sandwiches from a preferred shop.
Before placing the order, she specifically asked her husband three times if he wanted anything, and he declined each time, stating he was not hungry because he had recently eaten breakfast.
After the food arrived, the user, who describes herself as a grazer with a small appet*te, took a small portion of her sandwich.
When her husband suddenly claimed he wanted a bite because the smell made him hungry, the user questioned why he hadn't ordered his own.
After allowing him a few bites and insisting he order his own food, he eventually placed an order, which had a 30-minute delivery time.
When he asked for more bites of her sandwich while waiting, the user refused, leading to an argument where he called her selfish and a hypocrite, leaving them not speaking.

The user is currently in a standoff with her husband because she refused to share her food after he had declined the opportunity to order for himself.
The conflict centers on the user's es**blished boundary regarding sharing food versus her husband's expectation that she should share what she has, especially when he regrets his initial decision.
The core question is whether the user was justified in enforcing her personal boundary against sharing food, despite her husband's attempts to use past shared meals as leverage, or if her refusal const*tutes selfishness in the context of their long-term relationship.
