[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1656025, member: 345386"] It sounds to me like your husband tried to give you something special that you found to be a real indulgence when you had a couple of those sweets a few months ago, so to throw the lot away could be really hurtful to him. I might be inclined to make a thing of opening the package, and offer them around to everyone (generous, and there's a chance they'll get through a few!), then start eating one. You husband will likely watch for you savouring his special gift, with a certain amount of anticipation. I'd then likely comment that they tasted very sweet (or whatever - but they would to me as I don't have a sweet tooth) and comment something like, "You guys will have to help me out with these guys because delicious as these are, I'm not going to be able to get through too many of these too quickly." Then at some stage I would ask my OH if he minded if I gave the rest away (or whatever) because I just wasn't enjoying them as much as I remembered. I think it's so difficult for others trying to give us a treat, but don't quite get it. I have champagne and chocs given to me over Crimbo. The fizz will be fine, but I have explained to my OH (he wasn't the donor) that I'll take responsibility for the fizz, if he'll handle the chocs. He's fine with that and will likely get a glass of fizz for being a good chap. :) [/QUOTE]
