Marmite and marriage! (Lighthearted)

DH and I have been married for 17years, through all this time he has known there is a line that you do not cross, the marmite line, on one side is me the hater, the other is him the lover, I am quite happy for him to indulge in his vile habit and there is space in the cupboard for him to store the various jars he collects, I believe I am showing a level of tolerance that is above and beyond what most women would endure.

He knows that if he wants to indulge and spread the sludge on his bread he can but he must keep it away from me and anything that I cherish and hold dear.

The bastard has introduced MY dog to it and the bitch likes it. I don't know who has betrayed me more, him for crossing the line or her for siding with him on the love it/hate it argument

I can't believe he would risk 17 years of marriage for this.

AIBU or should I LTB

YABU

Anyone who hates Marmite is not normal, seriously, you need some therapy to get over your aversion. Your dog is merely showing what is right and normal.

I don't know anything about dogs, but marmite is VERY salty - would it be dangerous for a dog to eat it for that reason?

It was just the tip of his finger she licked it off, so not a lot.
I think he's trying to steal her away from me, he's just been training her with steak, how am i meant to compete.

The proudest moment of my life was converting a hater! My ex was adamant that he didnt like it, turns out he tried it once as a child and never again. So when he pinched my toast and it had Marmite on I was waiting to see his disgust, except he said "whats on this?" "Marmite" says I, with a smirk. "Mmm, its not that bad actually, is there any more?"

You're right about marmite, it IS gopping. However you should bear in mind that dogs have no discernment whatsoever, they eat everything and love everyone.

It is precious, it was the gold marmite. Well marmite with rust that's pretending to be gold.

my cats love marmite (catch them trying to finish off what the kids leave).

My DDs (2 and 4) ask for marmite on a spoon.

YABU, your DH is being normal on the marmite spectrum.

Marmite on toast is my favourite, in fact I think I may have some in a minute! My daughter likes Marmite on toast but my son won't try it. Smile

Anyone else like marmite sandwiches? My parents like Marmite on toast but both boak at the idea of Marmite sarnies! White bread, real butter, thick layer of the brown stuff, lovely!
