“I’ve Never Been So Disgusted With Her”: GF Cooks Guy Steaks, Pretends She’s An Idiot

ADVERTISEMENT

Wagyu is considered by many to be the best beef in the world. So when foodie and Reddit user Southern-Nectarine81 ordered some to be delivered to his doorstep, he was ecstatic — the man hadn’t tasted it before.

However, after coming back home from work, he found that his girlfriend had “surprised” him by cooking them to a crisp. The woman insisted that she didn’t know any better, but her partner suspected it was an attempt to get back at him after their previous argument.

This man had ordered a few pieces of prime meat to treat himself and his girlfriend

But the expensive food may have fallen victim to the beef between them

Some people high in neuroticism are vengeful

Of course, we are going on very limited information, but if we assume that the woman knew what she was doing, her actions sound to be fueled by spite.

According to research, people high in neuroticism are likely to seek revenge. At first, that seems counterintuitive because revenge is an aggressive act and these folks worry and ruminate much of the time, are prone to self-criticism, and have trouble setting goals and achieving them. However, their vengefulness is a product of their inability to manage negative emotions, particularly anger.

For example, one longitudinal study showed that individuals high in neuroticism and who experienced continued anger and hostility were still inclined to seek revenge two-and-a-half years after the original transgression. So, if the woman from the story has trouble managing her anger, the guy should watch out.

Another paper suggests that revenge and aggression are prompted by the need to self-regulate after social rejection. Its authors measured aggression by having participants stab a voodoo doll after simulated rejection scenarios. They discovered that social rejection did significantly increase aggression, reflecting on the strength of the human need to belong and that exclusion can “elicit powerful and sometimes maladaptive responses.”

If the post is enough to think that the woman felt rejected by having her ideas about the garage renovation dismissed, then maybe she did have malicious intentions when putting the steaks in the pan.

People who read the man’s story agree that his girlfriend probably did it on purpose

Anybody who treats a cow this way, even a dead one, is undeserving of your time and/or emotion.

Normally I say people should work on fixing the relationship instead of breaking up (unless there's infidelity or abuse, of course), but not this time.

Her actions definitely demonstrate that she has no respect or regard for him. Hope he dumped her a*s.

I hate to think of what else she'd destroy for revenge. Whatever issues they have between them (maybe she doesn't get enough say in the household or he does overspend), he was at least willing to talk things over after work.

I don't like articles like this. It's just an invitation to a spiteful pile-on based on very limited information from one person. If this even happened, there must be a lot more to it, and after it.

Yeah there are 2 sides to the story. The way it is written seems like the bloke isn't a nice person either.

Reactive abuse. Run, dude, run. She's only going to get worse.

Oh come on, she knew what she was doing, first of all, that is your house, you can do the garage how you see fit, she is throwing a childish tantrum because she is a child, a passive aggressive tantrum throwing child, it's time for her to go. She is worthless.

Neither of you are ready for a relationship. Pettiness and keeping score only leads to one destination. Better to break up now.

I hope OP had the opportunity to inform his (hopefully!) STBX's parents about what actually happened. She's probably told them a "creative" version of what actually occurred. Then, he should tell the raging bìtch to pack her shít, call her parents, and get her malicious àss out. Make sure to call some friends over to watch her like a hawk, in case she should "accidentally" destroy any of his belongings. A four-letter man shouldn't have to put up with a five-letter woman--and vice versa.

This could be the "creative" version forval we know. That $200 could have been the electricity bill money. The project in the garage could be loud and obnoxious....I don't think either people are right here.

I hope to whatever powers-that-be that she's an ex now. I'm no steak connosseur but ruining wagyu beef of all things is criminal in my book. Hopefully OP has cancelled more than just an exqusite French birthday lunch aka cancelled her out of his life for good. Pffft, the audacity of some people... -_-"

Maybe she wanted her opinion to matter on something that had to do with the house they are now sharing but her reaction was too immature. She is too immature to be living with someone.

Red flags here but from both of them. Both their behaviours are appalling. Split up
