A serious discussion abut this follows. Check our the full details below.

AITAH for telling my pregnant friend she can’t control my restaurant order?

I (30M) went to dinner with some friends.

One (31F) of which is 8 months pregnant.

His pregnant friend said she couldn’t have the food she craves.

While discussing the menu, she mentioned that she was having a craving for a particular dish that she was not allowed to have due to pregnancy restrictions.

I mentioned that the dish looked delicious.

But she immediately told me that it would be very rude to order it now that I know she is unable to do so.

He thinks she has no right to control what he wants to eat.

I am not pregnant.

I had no say in whether or not she decided to become pregnant.

I get having solidarity amongst friends, but in my opinion, controlling what others want to order at the table because you are unable to do so is not normal.

Now he’s wondering if it will be alright to order that particular food.

This prompted a discussion at the table where most said this was a societal norm.

So, AITA if I order the food she can’t have?
