Entitled Redditor Takes A Bite Out Of Her Boyfriend's Meal, He Gets Angry And Tells Her To Move Out

by Maryjane

Arguments over ostensibly uncomplicated issues, like food, can reveal a lot about your relationship, including their values, their view of your limits, and their level of regard for you. What can begin as a rather humorous story about setting boundaries with one's eating can evolve into something far more profound.

This is because the fundamental issue in the argument wasn't just food. For some people, as long as they do the appropriate song and dance with the hungry guest, they personally have no issue sharing food.

They either have to ask if they can have a bite or the person have to offer them something to eat. It would get very old very soon if someone kept assisting themselves with what was in the fridge without even the tiniest consideration for how civility functions.

The OP in today's story was asked by her boyfriend to watch over his plate of food so that the dogs wouldn't eat it. The OP agreed but ended up taking a bite out of his food instead.

As you can already tell, her boyfriend didn't take it likely, as he was of the opinion that the OP should have waited and asked him first. Keep scrolling to read the story in the OP's own words.

The OP's post says:

My boyfriend came into the living room with a plate of food. He told me to watch it from the dogs while he went upstairs for something. While he was gone I bit a piece of his flat bread. When he came back he was annoyed and angry that I took a bite and he told me to move out the way. I was really sad by his reaction because I don’t act that way when it comes to sharing things with him. He feels like I should’ve told him first. Am I the entitled a**hole? Or is a “non consensual” bite not that big of a deal ?

We've gathered up a bunch of comments from redditors for you to read through below

Always ask before helping yourself to someone's things

Your boyfriend clearly set that boundary

This Redditor doesn't understand how anyone will see this as being okay

You need to respect people's NO

It's not cute for women to just take their boyfriend's food

What a waste of food

The food was clearly for the OP's boyfriend

It is rude and uncalled for

You really should have just asked

You don't take people's things without asking

The logical course of action was to wait for him

You never know what someone else has dealt with

It is absolutely a big deal

Next time, ask!

People have different views

The price to pay

People are weird about food

It's a relationship you learn

Now you know

Issues as little as taking a bite out of someone else's food can cause a rift between you and that person. To you, it might not be a big deal, but for the other person, it is, so it's best to respect people's boundaries.
