I drink mostly water and tea. I've got a family history of diabetes and don't mess around with drinking pop or other sugary beverages on a regular basis. Artificial sweeteners taste funny or like chemicals to me. It never fails to boggle my mind how many people just can't seem to drink plain water, they need to add all sorts of crap to it or whatever. It's expensive and terrible for your health.

Your partner's habits aren't healthy and he would benefit from cutting waaaaaay back on his sugary beverage intake. His health AND your budget would benefit. But that's a separate issue from him drinking all YOUR pop. His diet is dumb and unhealthy, but consuming all of your drinks/snacks and leaving none for you is selfish and inconsiderate. That's what breeds the most resentment in a relationship, especially when you have to gentle-parent an allegedly adult man and explain the concept of "sharing" and "not being a greedy pig". If he's selfish in this area, I bet he's selfish in other ways that make him a less than ideal partner. Food for thought.

"especially when you have to gentle-parent an allegedly adult man and explain the concept of "sharing" and "not being a greedy pig""

THIS so hard. It SHOULD NOT be necessary to explain to a grown adult that you don't finish off things that someone bought for themselves. Generally, people learn that when they're a single-digit age. He knows, it sounds like he just doesn't give a fuck about his health, finances whether yours/his/shared, OR your feelings.

I bet most people would love to sit there and guzzle soda and energy drinks and juice all day long, and have DoorDash bring us every meal, but we don't do it, because it's unhealthy and expensive.

I learned when I was a kid, like most people did. When sharing a living space with another person and I see a snack or drink I didn't buy, I don't just assume it's okay for me to EAT AND DRINK ALL OF IT and not leave even a single can for my partner. That's basic courtesy.

I've learned that a lot of families have a free for all approach with stuff in their house. I've had that discussion with roommates over the years. They genuinely would not care if I ate or drank their stuff because they saw everything as a community pantry/fridge. Very strange conversation for me to have but I've had it multiple times now. Thankfully not recently though.

This is baffling to me. I grew up in a free for all house more or less but when living with other people I would never assume that the snacks they bought were for me unless it was explicitly said otherwise and I would always ask before thinking of taking anything. And even when someone would be like 'help yourself' I'd take one and that's it.

ayrt
Baffling to me as well! I had a friend over recently and they brought their kids and the kids went straight to the kitchen and started opening cupboards and the fridge asking what snacks I had. This was the first time they had been at my house and I had only met them a couple of times before (they were usually in school when I met up with the friend). I stood there baffled for a minute then calmly told them to close the cupboards and please leave the kitchen and that it's polite to ask before going through other peoples stuff. Their parent didn't seem shocked or embarrassed or anything by the behavior and seemed to think it was appropriate.

Oh my god. I would have, as the kids say, crashed out over that, like my nieces visit me a few times a year and they never once just go through my cupboards like they had a right to it, and the irony there is that I’d stock up on kid safe snacks so they could do that if they wanted but they always asked, and still ask now because it’s as you said: basic manners.

I’d be so fucking embarrassed if I just took something from someone’s else’s kitchen, hell I have a hard time taking some of the communal food in the office which we’re all allowed to eat whenever we want and I never take something if it’s the last one because someone else might want it!

Truly unfathomable behaviour.

Woooaaaahhh. That is next-level awful behavior. The parent is shameless for allowing that and not immediately stopping them. They sound like they're going to grow up to be just like anon's boyfriend.

My family definitely did as a kid, but I learned in one day once I started college.
