Some arguments start from the smallest things.

This woman explains that her husband is blaming her for a mishap with his food. The dog ate it when he wasn’t looking, and for some reason he thinks his wife is responsible.

AITA for letting my dog eat my husbands food off of the coffee table

My husband (36M) and I (33F) ordered take-out tonight.

He left his open food containers on the coffee table.

He went to the bathroom.

This woman was busy cleaning up her dinner.

I was not paying attention at all.

I was focused on doing other things in the room because I had already finished my food.

I had cleaned up what I was eating.

The dog started to eat off of her husband’s plate.

Our dog came over.

He started to eat a piece of chicken out of his container.

This is a very rare occurrence.

The dog usually does not touch our food.

Then the dog knocked his plate over.

Once I realized what the dog was doing, I said, “No!”

This startled the dog. It made him knock the entire, almost full, container of food onto the floor.

My husband then came out of the bathroom and blamed me!

He said it was my fault because I should have been watching the dog with his food while he was in the bathroom.

He accused her of doing it on purpose.

He also said it was “convenient” because it happened when he left to go to the bathroom and not when he was in the room.

I asked if he was trying to say that I gave the food to the dog on purpose.

And he said, “Maybe.”

He said her story doesn’t make sense.

He said my version of the story didn’t make any sense because his container of food had been almost full.

And I said the dog knocked it over after taking one piece, and when it was on the floor there was almost no chicken left.

The dog ate more of the chicken off of the floor… duh!

Now, they’re both upset.

Am I crazy?

Shouldn’t he be accountable that he left his food uncovered on the table?

So… am I the jerk?

If he had expected her to watch his food for him, he should’ve asked her to watch his food before he left the table.
