A man posted about his girlfriend who is being a surrogate to her sister. She ate his dinner and he was pretty upset, so he asked her to pay him back for the meal or get him a new one. He asks the Redditors if he's a jerk for doing that.
Man Is Fed Up With His Girlfriend's Cravings While She Is Being A Surrogate For Her Sister, Asks Her To Pay For His Meal She Ate
Sometimes pregnancy becomes an excuse for women to eat all the food in the house and they won’t allow anyone to shame them. But people on Reddit think that taking someone else’s food is too much and being pregnant doesn’t mean that you can’t control yourself.
The Original Poster (OP) has been with his girlfriend for two years and even before they started a relationship, the woman told him that one day she would be acting as a surrogate for her sister and she was giving him a heads up for what awaited, so he could decide if he would be willing to adapt for those 9 months of pregnancy.
The woman now lives with her sister and BIL so they can take care of her, she still comes over to her boyfriend’s house often, so he keeps her favorite snacks and will buy her food when she craves something specific.
The OP’s parents came for a visit and brought him a meal from his favorite restaurant.
When the parents brought him the food, he wasn’t really hungry, so he put the food aside for dinner.
But the OP wasn’t able to eat his dinner because his girlfriend came over and wanted a snack. She saw his leftovers and asked to have some of that.
The man thought that she would get a few bites, but he realized his girlfriend was planning on eating everything as she put mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard all over everything, which meant she wasn't going to share.
That is when the man asked his girlfriend to pay him back for the meal or to go and bring him a new one, since she had eaten all of his dinner instead of having some of it.
The woman wasn’t in the mood for a drive and paying for the meal sounded ridiculous for her.
The fight escalated and the OP expressed his frustrations about how he was catering to her girlfriend’s cravings when she wasn’t even carrying his child, nor do they even live together. This offended her and she left without finishing the food, but the food wasn't edible for OP anymore.
The woman left, but not without complaining to the OP’s mom about the way he treated her. His mom instead of understanding her son's situation, gave him a earful for not being supportive enough in her condition.
But the majority of the internet was telling the OP that the girlfriend was using the pregnancy card as an excuse and was rude for taking all of her boyfriend’s food.
Also they were curious for more details so OP replied to some of the comments.
One user asked why she didn't have her child's custody, to which he replied that he was an accident but the father wanted to keep him.
Another was curious about the legitimacy of the surrogacy agency if she haven't had children of her own. OP replied that the place they used was a bit more lenient since they were using a family member.
Some were confused about her pregnancy to which he clarified she isn't pregnant with his kid. She's a surrogate for her sister.
One user was curious about the food which triggered him so much that he had to confront his gf, to which he gave the details of his favourite meal.
Most of the users were supportive of OP and felt he had some unresolved issues regarding his gf's surrogacy. But he replied that he's fine with it but his issue is with her not pitching in to the expenses.
Another user asked him to dump his gf as she has no respect for his boundaries. And also asked him why he couldn't eat the leftovers, to which he replied that she had poured all kinds of sauces over it and he doesn't like them.
A pregnant user said that pregnancy isn't an excuse to be a jerk.
One user asked him to leave the relationship as there's way too much going on.
Another said that only a jerk will take all the food when somepne agrees to share some of it.
One user called the gf irresponsible and inconsiderate for her behaviour and her pregnancy is not an excuse.
One user said that since it's not his baby so none of the rules apply to him.
One user asked him to dump her for calling OP's mom.
Another user said this post is AITA bingo.
Pregnancy does a lot of things to a woman’s body and one of them is causing cravings. Women not only want weird foods, but they also want a lot of food and don’t feel satiated. But eating someone else’s whole dinner can’t be excused by the fact that you are pregnant, according to the comments.
