'To have your cake and eat it too' is to have a dispute settled in your favour well past what would be fair and reasonable, more than your share The law calls it 'unjust enrichment' and tries to avoid it in all settlements The classic case is the engagement ring after a separation, but before the wedding. Assuming the groom paid for the ring, if the fiance says she wants to keep it 'as a memento', for her to keep it in spite of the breakup would be unjustly enriching her and unjustly depriving the ex-potential groom. If she succeeded in keeping it, that would be a case of her 'having her cake and eating it too'

Is this correct 'You can't eat your cake and have it too'?
It means you must make a choice, even if it is difficult. Say you've been served a piece of your favorite food. You can keep it, stare at it, put it in the freezer, whatever--or you can eat it. But once you've eaten it, you can't keep it anymore--it's gone. But if you keep it, you can't eat it. Assuming she's not talking about actual food, she's asking you to give up something. For example, I can't have an exclusive relationship with my wife and date someone on the weekends.
Can you have your cake and eat it too?
It depends on what type of cake, where you got it, was it meant for you? Would someone else benefit from eating the cake? If you find yourself having your cake and eating it too, you may be taking advantage of someone else, this can have negative consequences for you in the future. The only way to have your cake and eat it too is to share some of it with whom ever is relevant to the cake. That way they get cake and you have obtained your objective without taking advantage or being selfish. D.J. Newville
