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.

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!
