Statistics show that many couples and families are suffering from fighting and abuse. One would hope never to have to experience such a situation, but there are times when arguments are not just that. For instance, a woman from New York got into an argument with her boyfriend over food, leading him to throw it out. Not only did he waste food and her effort, but he also reacted very badly to the situation.
Redditor MiserableFckingCunt shared on r/AmIOverreacting that since she moved in with her boyfriend a few months ago, she has been doing most of the cooking. On the day in question, OP prepared some egg bites to have ready for her boyfriend’s breakfast for a few days. She baked them and left them on the stove to cool, then fell asleep on the couch. Then her boyfriend arrived, abruptly waking OP, turning on the lights, and making noise while putting away the egg bites.
At that moment, OP asked her boyfriend to be more “quiet.” Already annoyed, her boyfriend asked if he should put the egg bites away. But his girlfriend was barely awake and already annoyed, so she said no. According to OP, her boyfriend became even more annoyed and started making argumentative comments, so she thought it would be best to leave the house. However, her angry boyfriend didn’t stop and continued asking about the egg bites from inside. Fed up, OP replied, “I don’t know, just throw them away then.”
Then OP heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen, and her boyfriend came out. OP left her boyfriend outside, and when she went inside, she saw that he had thrown her food in the trash and bent the baking pan. OP felt disrespected and believed her cooking efforts had been wasted, so she told him that she would never cook for him again. Now her boyfriend blames this New York woman because she was the OP who told him to throw the food away; he just obeyed.
“Sounds like he has anger issues. That’s scary. These outbursts are probably common since you immediately knew to go outside. Hope you are safe,” said TreeRoot2.
Many other Redditors agreed that the boyfriend is abusive and that OP should leave him for her own safety. The reason was that at one point, OP wrote “since I moved back in,” which led people to believe that something else was going on between this couple. And this definitely doesn’t seem like the best environment for anyone.
