Guy Blasted Online For Confronting Girlfriend Over Food Sharing And Not The Friend Who Ate It

Our relationship with food is not just about consumption. It also involves respect and consideration for others. Reddit user PhantomDetective3548 is concerned that his girlfriend’s kindness is being taken advantage of. When they’re out, she always offers bites from her plate, whether it’s a simple appetizer or her main course, and during their last dinner with friends, one of the guy’s buddies ate far more than he should have, leaving her with mere crumbs. So, he’s turned to the internet for advice on how to get her to set healthy boundaries.

    Standing up to his friend is too much for his weak ego. Better to blame the girlfriend (and unload his personal, unasked-for opinion about "saliva in her food" on us - OP suffers from main character syndrome).

    Yep. She appears to have a legitimate problem. Brian appears to also have a problem, but is his a compulsion ? But kike the one poster said, OP forgives Brian ( that's just the way he is ) but expects his girlfriend to manage her problem by managing Brian's problem.

    I don't think OP is wrong in telling his GF to be careful with sharing her food since it's valid advice. But he is very wrong in not telling this Brian person that when someone says 'want to try?' it doesn't mean 'have it all', shared appetisers are meant to be SHARED and taxes and tips are a very real thing. This Brian is definitely NOT the messiah, he's a very naughty boy :)

    I stopped reading after the first person asked a question, and OP says, "I assume you're asking for INFO?" Dude, lighten the fnck up.
