Most adults enjoy treating themselves once in a while, but one woman never expected a simple chocolate bar to spark a full-blown argument.

When her boyfriend called her “immature” for trying a candy bar she didn’t finish, she couldn’t ignore how controlling the reaction felt.

Suddenly, she had to wonder why her snack choices bothered him so much.

Keep reading for the full story.

AITAH: Am I “immature” for purchasing a chocolate bar, just to try it?

My boyfriend claims I am immature for buying a specialty chocolate bar just to try it.

I had bought and tried this specialty chocolate bar and ended up not liking it as much as I thought I would, so it landed on a shelf and didn’t get eaten.

This really rubbed her boyfriend the wrong way.

Fast forward a few months and here we are, with him arguing with me about this chocolate bar.

Apparently, I should have never bought it in the first place just to try it if I wasn’t going to eat the whole thing.

To her, it was all harmless, but he attached a much bigger meaning to the whole thing.

I tried explaining to him that for a little joy in life, sometimes I try new things—even if I end up not liking them, it’s still a pleasant experience for me—and then I know not to buy them again.

He claims that I shouldn’t buy things if I don’t know that I like them and will eat them entirely.

Suddenly, it became a statement about her maturity.

He says “it’s called maturity,” which is something I apparently “lack.”

AITAH?

Bad boyfriend alert!

Is this even a relationship worth being in?

Being against wasting food is one thing, but being against trying new things altogether is another.

Some people like trying things for the experience, and that’s perfectly normal.

If anyone needs to mature here, it’s the man throwing a tantrum over a chocolate bar.
