Someone please help me to make sense of women and chocolate.

What was she doing snooping around your man cave? That is sacred territory. My wife and I have an understanding. She leaves my man cave the hell alone and in exchange she gets to do whatever she wants with rest of the house.

Straighten that out and then you can hide all the chocolate you want. :)

Yep, and for many other reasons. Most of what you cited (in post #20) were simply conflict avoidance recommendations.

I was not making a serious challenge about relationships.

Just bustin' some balls...

As was I. Thankfully my girlfriend and I get along quite well and have lived together for quite a few (14+) years with little emotional stress. Being in our mid sixties we have little expectation of changing each other's habits.

So, I am at Sam's and get a big box of chocolate bars to keep hidden in my man cave to enjoy for myself.
"She" finds them, raises hell, and tells me i have to get rid of them....OUT OF THE HOUSE !!!!
So, last night was a group Christmas party, so i take all of them to the party and lay them out on the dessert table.
While i am outside talking to some people "She" is inside helping to clean up.
We get home and i take the box we brought to the party inside the house, and guess what?

ALL of the chocolate bars i had on the table that were not eaten were put back in the box and brought home by "her".

WT_ !!!

"She' gets up normally before I do and this morning I walked out and she was munching on one.

help.

Do I point out this problem, or just shut up and tell myself it is a woman / chocolate thing and walk away?

Simple solution. Just tell her to keep her hands off because you got it for the girls at the office. Guaranteed you'll get to eat all your chocolate.

You'll probably also get the rest of the bed to yourself, more closet space and the bathroom sink won't be anywhere near as cluttered.

My ex-wife taught me well.

I am always wrong.

That's why she is my ex.

Your first mistake was assuming you could keep the chocolate for yourself. Pro tip: Today I got a monster 2kg bag of top shelf pistachio nuts for Christmas from a supplier...I can eat the **** out of a bag of pistachio nuts... lol... Now, I know my wife also loves pistachio nuts. I also know that I would outpace her at least 3 to 1, if we were sharing it...lol. Knowing full well my ass would be grass if I tried to hide said monster bag of pistachio nuts somewhere in my domain, I used advanced jedi mind tricks. I don't need a whole damn 2kg bag of pistachio nuts, so like a fantastic husband, I bust them out and say "look what I got you!", and told the truth about where they came from, lest I was on the hook for spending a **** ton of money on expensive nuts. Now, I get to have min 1.5kg of yummy pistachios, by my math, I don't get in trouble, score brownie points, even, and have leverage in any future attempt she may have to withhold goodies from me. ;) lol

Just be supportive or do as jimbo said and don't mention it. Anything other than those two tend to be traps. Like Lovebug telling you to have a conversation about it, that's clearly a trap.

He could just share the chocolate with his woman. It's what we do.

Women do not share chocolate....with anyone.
Especially my wife.
If it is in the house, it is hers...all hers.
Hence me having to hide my CRUNCH bars.

That is so much winning I can barely stand it...
 
Evidently you and your wife both love chocolate.

Look I buy myself a treat now and then like cashews or pistachios or a pint of ice cream. I take a little bit one time and save the rest for later. But the next time I go for a handful of nuts, or a scoop of ice cream its gone. It ticks me off. When I confront him his reply is often. "You snooze you lose". You are not the only one that has to hide your treats.

Naw, I just like to nibble on a Kit Kat or the occasional CRUNCH bar sometimes.
I have this little stagecoach chest i keep them in and they normally last me 6 months or more.
After this Great Christmas Debacle of 2017 is over, I think I will start munching on pickled artichoke hearts.
She thinks those are gross.

LOL, I added to my post above. You aren't the only one that has to hide your treats.
 
I count myself fortunate....my wife of 26 years isn't a fan of chocolate, but she does love marzipan.....which, to me, has all the flavor and texture of Styrofoam.

I am partial to peanut butter cups, which she believes to be the spawn of satans kitchen.

Its a nice arrangement.
 
When it comes to chocolate, buy the wife the $18+/lb chocolates, and yourself the cheaper stuff.
