Spoiler alert: this woman’s boyfriend kind of sounds like a creep!
Either that, or he’s just totally and completely clueless about everything in the entire world.
Check out what she had to say in this story from Reddit.
Get started now!
AITA for being frustrated that I couldn’t eat my food hot?
“I will preface this by saying that I am fully aware (as is my partner of 4 years) that I have many disordered habits and oddities with food.
She has some issues…
Although never diagnosed, it is highly likely that I am on the spectrum due to my sensitivities with food, sounds, social interactions, etc. I am also diagnosed bipolar. In this context, I often am unable to eat foods once they’ve changed temperature or texture.
My partner and I decided to order pizza and pizza bread from our mutual favourite spot, however it is a 35 minute drive away. I had just worked 11 hours and not yet eaten which I guess is my fault, but I also somewhat expected him to be ready when he knew I was arriving.
We didn’t leave until 40 minutes after I arrived, and drove for just under 30 minutes because I am a fast/assertive driver.
We arrived and I paid $65 for the pizzas including tip. It smelled great and my stomach was rolling as I was bringing it to the car.
My partner said he wanted to drive home and I thought that was wonderful because it would give me a moment to relax and even eat a slice on the way home.
When I went to open the box, he asked me to “practice patience” and wait until we got home – another 35 mins from now.
Okay…
I agreed because I thought it’d be nicer if we ate together anyway, and also tried to emotionally prepare myself for some irritation on the way home because while I am a fast and assertive driver, my partner is a patient and slow driver.
What I mean is, he will stay behind a semi going 20 below the speed limit instead of simply going around because it just doesn’t bother him to chill. It however drives me INSANE. I already know the 35 min drive may turn to 45, but I am thankful for the rest.
Come on, dude!
The city we picked up the pizza in happens to be the city he grew up in. All of a sudden, we are taking a tour of nostalgia through his old stomping grounds. I stay quiet, until he tells me he wants to swing by his friend’s place to “take a picture of his car”.
In my head, I’m thinking “what for?” knowing it’s probably just some bro joke he’s preparing for later. At this point it’s been 1.5 hours since I left work and had been waiting to eat. I was mad as hell. I sighed and just muttered that the food was going to be cold, and stayed silent the rest of the drive. He let out a heavy sigh and also said nothing.
Neither one of us ended up eating very much and didn’t speak or hang out the rest of the night. Was I wrong to be petty over an extra 20-30 mins? Was he wrong to tell me to be patient and then purposefully go for a cruise?
I feel like I could have just eaten a quick slice of pizza, he could have rolled around all he wanted, and neither of us would have done been upset…but he doesn’t like eating in the car.”
