Healthy relationships thrive on communication, but the post is proof that sometimes even seemingly clear words can lead to misunderstandings.

When one man tried to do exactly what his girlfriend asked, it turns out she was more interested in him reading her mind.

Read on for the full scoop!

AITA for not getting my GF food after she told me not to?

My (26M) GF (23F) and I have been together for about a year and a half.

It’s been mostly good, but at times it seems like she has very odd expectations.

He gives the latest example.

This morning, I was going out for breakfast and texted her to ask if she wanted me to get her breakfast.

She said no.

I asked her if she was sure, and she assured me that she didn’t want anything.

It turns out, she really did want him to bring her food.

A few hours later, she calls me and says, “You know, it really didn’t sit right with me that you didn’t get me food this morning. If you were more thoughtful, you would’ve shown up to my door and surprised me with breakfast.”

He’s confused why she didn’t just say yes in the first place.

Mind you, we live about 10 minutes from one another, so I had zero problem bringing her food.

But I asked her twice if she wanted it, and she said no.

Do I just not understand women?

His girlfriend is now making this situation into a statement about the health of their relationship.

She’s legitimately so ticked and thinks if I liked her more, I would’ve brought her food anyways.

And he thinks he may know where her high expectations come from.

I sometimes think she obsesses over TikTok couples who stage every interaction they ever have, so she expects some fantasy-land relationship between her and me.

AITA?

Social media is great for making unhealthy comparisons.

What did Reddit think?

His girlfriend is definitely not playing fair here.

While it would be nice if he could anticipate her every need, this just isn’t possible.

This user offers a potential script for the boyfriend.

There are definitely some deeper issues that need to be addressed in this relationship.

When social media fantasies come into play, it’s no wonder she’s learned some unrealistic expectations.

But at the end of the day, people aren’t mind readers!
