Picture this: you’re working hard to provide for your significant other, and you come home to find your cupboards bare, your favorite snacks gone, and your dinner plans ruined. That’s exactly what happened to one man (28m) when his girlfriend (26f) started eating everything in their home. Money is tight since his girlfriend lost her job six months ago, and he’s been covering almost all of their expenses. But when she started eating everything, even his favorite treats and food he’d specifically labeled, he reached his breaking point.
