So here’s the situation: My wife constantly buys food, wants to “savor it” and then lets it go bad.

An example: She has ice cream in our fridge that’s at least 7 years old. It’s completely crystalized at this point (due to some melting/refreezing after some power outages) and inedible. But she doesn’t like to eat anything she buys too fast. So she’ll have a tiny bit of ice cream, and then a month later another tiny bit, and then 2 months later… You get the drift. But almost without fail, she’ll forget it’s even in there and it goes bad. Desserts, cookies, chocolate, cheese, cereal - it happens with everything.

So when I see she’s completely forgotten about something that I know she’ll just let go bad, I eat it.

Then she gets pissed at me, claiming it’s her food and she can let it go bad if she wants to. That I shouldn’t eat her food.

So… am I the asshole for eating her food that she’s just going to let go bad?
