After His Wife Said She’s Going To Bring Her Own Food To Thanksgiving With His Family This Year, He Told Her She Shouldn’t Bother Coming At All And Should Just Stay Home Then
A guy is married to his wife, and he says she is pretty much one of the pickiest eaters that you could ever meet.
It really does bother him that his wife is like that, but it really gets on his nerves as soon as the holiday season rolls around.
The holidays always end up being hell for him, as his wife will not eat specific meals, and then his mom ends up taking that to heart and getting hurt.
This always results in his mom and his wife fighting, which really isn’t fun at all. Since Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, his wife has been thinking about what to do for the holidays this year.
“As a compromise this year, My wife offered to bring her own food to Thanksgiving dinner,” he explained.
“I was stunned I asked if she thought this through, and she looked at me confused. I told her about how weird it’d be for her to bring her own food, especially when she wouldn’t be sharing it with anybody else, and told her to think about how mom will react.”
“She’d get very offended and upset. My wife said that it’s not her problem and that she was just trying to make it work by bringing her own meal.”
He stated once more to his wife that he knew his mom would be upset and probably wouldn’t allow her to whip out her own food to eat in front of everyone.
Well, his wife flipped out on him and said she can either eat food that she hates or she can spend Thanksgiving hungry.

He mentioned that his wife should just try his mom’s cooking this year, but she argued that it was not about that at all; it just comes down to her hating specific food.
And if you are wondering, no, his wife is not allergic to anything, she really is just picky, and that’s it.
“We had an argument, and I ended up telling her she could stay home this Thanksgiving and have whatever meal she likes,” he said.
“She got quiet then lashed out at me, calling me insensitive and negative to say this to her. I repeatedly asked her to calm down, but she couldn’t stop ranting about how I was basically willing to exclude her from a major event. She started cold-shouldering me about it while at the same time guilting me, saying I’m treating her poorly after she offered the “perfect compromise.”
In the end, his wife decided that she would spend Thanksgiving with her family alone this year, while he can go to his family’s house and spend the holiday with them.
He’s left wondering if it was mean of him to tell his wife to stay home instead of allowing her to bring her own food. Do you think it would have been alright for his wife to pack her own food to bring, or do you agree that you can see how it would be highly offensive to his mom?
