He Went Out Of His Way To Bake His Girlfriend Her Favorite Pumpkin Pie, But After She Put Down His Efforts, He Ignored Her Calls
A 26-year-old guy has been dating his 32-year-old girlfriend named Laura for close to a year now, and recently, they were discussing some fall topics.
Laura brought up to him that she really missed the pumpkin pie that her dad used to make for her, as it really was her favorite.
Laura then said that her dad’s recipe was super simple, so he thought it would be a fantastic idea to surprise Laura with a pumpkin pie similar to her dad’s recipe.
Laura’s mom and dad don’t live in the same state that they do, and she rarely gets to see her parents. He really wanted to do something nice for Laura by making her this pie, especially since she’s been feeling pretty sad about not getting to spend a lot of time with her family.
“On Friday night, we were going to have dinner and watch a movie at her place,” he explained.
“Once I got off work, I got right to making the pie. I’m no chef, but I stuck close to a recipe I found online, and it smelled delicious when it was ready.”
“Once we finish dinner, I showed Laura the pie and put it in the oven to warm up as we started the movie. When it was ready, I cut us each a slice, and she took one bite and grimaced. I asked her what was wrong with the pie, and she said something to the effect of “At least you tried, but please don’t ever make another one.” She started laughing, and I immediately looked away, admittedly a little hurt by that comment.”
Laura did take note of how much she hurt him and attempted to change the topic by saying he excelled at other events.
Instead of feeling sorry for being so mean to him, though, Laura just came across as angry at him for being upset in the first place with her comment.

Next, he and Laura sat down to watch the movie, and as soon as it was over, he left Laura’s place immediately. That night, Laura never said sorry to him. Instead, she told him to take the pie when he left, or she was going to toss it in the garbage.
In hindsight, he thinks perhaps that Laura was attempting to be slaphappy, but it just only served to make him feel even worse about the entire evening. He kissed her on the cheek quickly and made his exit. He did text her that he got home safely and wished her goodnight before he stopped talking to her.
The following day, Laura called him a total of 3 times, but he never picked up her calls. He chose to ignore her, as he really was still hurt.
“Truth be told, it wasn’t about the pie,” he said. “It was more about the fact that I tried to surprise her with something special that she specifically mentioned, and she threw it back in my face. I also gave the rest of the pie to my neighbor and his wife, and they told me they really enjoyed it without even knowing what Laura said about it.”
“We’re talking again today, but the air is not clear. I’m starting to think maybe I was being too petty, but I was also raised with the understanding that if someone cooks for you, you eat the food and thank them for it even if you didn’t like it.”
He’s wondering if it was wrong of him to ignore Laura since he still felt so hurt. Would you have done the same thing?
