1. Your declaring you were going to eat that bagel constitutes a valid dibs claim by you.

If you had merely noted "there is one bagle left" and not said you were going to eat it then your husband's dibs claim would have been valid.

To ensure domestic tranquility I would advise you to share the bagel.
