Woman Puts Her Spoiled Boyfriend On Blast For Whining About Not Getting Red Lobster
I went out on what was probably a third date with this guy, and he decided we were going to go to Red Lobster, even though I had told him countless times since we started talking that I don't eat meat. I let it slide because I liked him. Then, when the waiter brought around those cheddar biscuits, this guy asked me to put them all in my purse so he could eat them later and the waiter would bring us more.
Weird, right? But hey, at least he paid.
Unlike This Guy, Who Literally Had A Meltdown About Red Lobster
Teonna was messaging the man she had been seeing, making some dinner plans that were a bit different than the ones they had made earlier that day, which was to go out for dinner.
She Was Honest With Him
She told him up-front that she knew he wanted to go out, but after paying her bills and getting groceries that day, she didn't feel she was in a place to spend money on taking him out.
A Change Of Plans, Yes, But We've All Been There
Instead of being understanding and being grateful that she was willing to cook for him, he literally started having a meltdown, blowing up her phone with his self-righteous foolishness about "his level."
He Was Not Impressed
Ladies, let me ask you something. Would you let a man stay in your life who was going to defame your character just because you were a little tight until next payday and couldn't take him out?
He Literally Would Not Stop
"You're not where I'm at physically, mentally, spiritually, or financially." Boy, PLEASE! If that were even remotely true, you could buy your own dinner, and you wouldn't be carrying on like this.
Then He Basically Told Her It Was Over
Imagine someone telling you that you just aren't cut out to be on his level? Also, can we talk about his health? Red Lobster four times a week? That doesn't seem right.
Like, Is He Done Yet?
Needless to say, after he had his big long temper tantrum, she didn't quite know what to say. The thing is, someone like that isn't going to change, are they? He'll never see reason.
After She Posted His Rant, She Cleared Some Things Up
Thankfully, they hadn't been seeing each other for very long, and the relationship hadn't crossed over into serious dating yet. She explained that asking someone if they're hungry is something she would ask anyone.
Turns Out This Isn't The First Time He's Been Shady
This little meltdown seems to have just been the straw that broke the camel's back, because according to Teonna, this isn't the first thing he's done that's rubbed her the wrong way.
He's A Bit Of A Complainer
We've all got our own stuff going on, but we shouldn't lay that all on someone else basically asking them without asking that they pay for our bills and take us out.
Who Was Saying She Deserved It?
Whoever was telling her that she deserved it is seriously insane, because even though she did change the plans, she didn't deserve to be laid into like that. There is no reason to talk to another person that way.
It's Not Her Fault She's A Nice Person
Maybe there is a lesson to be learned here, but whatever that was doesn't even matter anymore because he had to be such a jerk about all of this, you know?
Things Got Worse
To make matters worse, he decided that he was going to take to Facebook to try and defend himself, which you can imagine is just a bunch of unpunctuated garbage.
It Was A Lot To Take In
It's actually wild to me that he thought he was justifiable in acting out the way that he did. There were lots of people in the comments trying to decide what his sign was...they mostly agreed on him being a Scorpio.
He's Cocky, To Say The Least
"Why you think she's tryna bring me food?" So because she was trying to bring you food, that automatically means you're the greatest ever, not that she's just a nice person?
Naturally, Twitter Was Not Having It
People were leaving lots of messages on her thread telling her that he was, in fact, crazy and that she wasn't overreacting in being upset about the situation. They were also quick to call out his apparent love for Red Lobster.
People Also Started Having A Bit Of Fun
As you can imagine, he started getting memed. People found that his stance on not being brought Red Lobster was so ridiculous that there was no way it could be taken seriously in any way.
His Character Was Questioned
It does have to be asked, how did he end up being this way? Like, was he born this way, or was this something that he learned along the way?
I Guess He Just Wants What He Wants
And what he wants is someone who is up to his caliber and will bring him Red Lobster whenever he demands it. Is that too much to ask? Honestly, it's the least he deserves... *eye-rolling emoji*
Even Chrissy Teigen Chimed In
You know you messed up when Chrissy Teigen, the actual queen of Twitter, got herself involved and was nice enough to inquire about his health. Maybe mercury poisoning explains his attitude?
A Woman Has Asked Social Media For Opinions
A woman has turned to social media to find out whether she was in the wrong for "secretly" feeding her boyfriend a plant-based diet.
The only issue is that she never intended it to be a secret.
The Original Post Was On Reddit's AmITheA**hole
It might sound like the plot of a sitcom, but for one woman, it has played out in real life and totally affected her relationship.
The anonymous woman posted her situation in the popular r/AmITheA**hole thread on Reddit.
The Couple Have Been Dating For Nearly Four Months
She begins the post by explaining that she and her boyfriend, John, have been dating for nearly four months.
Up until now, it's been smooth sailing and they have "gotten along wonderfully except for this past issue."
She Told Him She Was A Vegan On Their First Date
"When we went out to dinner for the first time, I told him I was vegan when ordering my dish and he just kind of went "oh, cool" and started talking about something else. "
Her vegan diet never really came up again after that.
She Never Actively Tried To Hide That She Was Making Plant-Based Dishes
Even though she and John never openly discussed her dietary preferences again, each time he came to her house for lunch or dinner she prepared plant-based meals for the two of them.
OP adds "I've never tried to actively hide this from him."
She Thought He Knew She Was Using Meat Alternative Products
For example, "When he asked what we were having [for dinner] I'd say things like "burgers" and I assumed that he knew it would naturally be something like impossible burgers."
At this point, he's starting to seem a little aloof. It's also clear he wasn't helping prepare any meals.
They Ate Vegan Lasagna Over The Christmas Holidays
Things took a turn over the holidays when they decided to stay home together and have a low-key homemade meal.
OP prepared vegan lasagna and the two ate dinner before relaxing and watching a cooking show.
A Cooking Show Was The Ultimate Truth Bomb
In the show they were watching, one contestant prepared a dish using a meat alternative.
"John commented how he hated when dishes pretended to be meat when it was plant-based and it was deceptive and gross and he would never eat that."
OP Was Confused By His Reaction And Explained The Situation
Naturally, OP was extremely confused. She pointed out that he had eaten imitation meat several times.
He learned that their lasagna from dinner that night had been "entirely vegan with fake meat."
He Was Shocked To Learn He Had Eaten Multiple Vegan Meals
Even more shocking to John was finding out that "every time he's eaten at [his girlfriend's] place it has been a vegan dish."
Most people would be surprised to learn they had been eating a plant-based diet, but John was immediately angry.
He Accused Her Of Forcing Her Diet On Him
He accused his girlfriend of "tricking him into eating something he found disgusting" and also of "forcing" her diet on him.
John argued that this was the same as if he had tricked his girlfriend into eating meat.
The Fight Resulted In Him Leaving
OP told her boyfriend that it wasn't at all the same because she had a moral opposition to eating meat, but "nobody was morally opposed to eating plants."
Unfortunately, this led to more arguing and him leaving her apartment. He hasn't returned since.
Days Later He Was Still Hot-Headed About The Issue
Days after the fight, OP reached out to her boyfriend to see if he had cooled down.
John told his girlfriend that he was "disappointed" she would "tamper with his food" and also that this had been a "serious betrayal of his trust."
He Told Her She Needed To Apologize (Lol)
"He said I should have disclosed that none of the food I ever made contained meat. He finished it by saying he would come over only if I apologized for lying to him."
Basically, John gave her an ultimatum instead of an apology.
OP Stood Her Ground And They Haven't Seen Each Other Since
OP responded to his demand for an apology by saying that she didn't lie and didn't owe him an apology.
She told him he was being "stupid and childish" but he never responded to her message, leaving them in a weird stand-off.
The Top Comments On The Post Shamed The BF
After the post went viral online, thousands of people weighed in with their opinions on whether OP was in the wrong.
Commenters were quick to come to OP's defense and reassure her that she shouldn't cave in and apologize.
She Explained He Never Helped Cook Meals
Following the massive response, OP edited her post to say that "No, he's never helped me cook dinner."
She also added that "This is the first major fight we've had and I don't want to end such a great relationship over it."
OP Felt LIke She Was Being Painted A Villain
"I just feel like no matter how much I try to explain my point of view he keeps trying to make me sound like a villain."
OP added that she didn't plan on apologizing and intended to stand her ground.
Most People Would Love To Unknowingly Eat Healthier
One comment that received thousands of upvotes pointed out that being "tricked" into eating vegan food is the ultimate trojan horse move and really is an impressive task.
They also casually said "this guy has two brain cells left and they're competing hard for third place."
The Was Agreed The Boyfriend Was Wrong In The Situation
It's clear that people online were unanimously sure that OP was NOT the A**hole in this situation, but quite the opposite.
Most people would have been thankful for the meals and said no more. Is this something that would have offended you?
