She Felt Ignored While Out To Dinner With Her Boyfriend And His Sister, But Then Her Boyfriend Got Mad At Her For Not Eating The Appetizer He Ordered
Family dinners are one of the worst events to have an awkward moment during. It’s one of those settings where you feel trapped, and can be a total hit or miss.
One woman recently felt ignored during dinner with her boyfriend and his sister. Then, he got mad at her for not eating the appetizer he ordered because she didn’t like it.
She’s 27 years old and has a 29-year-old boyfriend. He has a 25-year-old sister who recently moved to their neighborhood, so they all decided to get dinner to celebrate.
However, she’s never been a big fan of being around her boyfriend with his family.
“I’m going to be upfront, I really struggle when he is around his mom and his sister,” she explained.
“He seems to forget about me whenever they are here, and I was hoping I would connect with his sister tonight, but after what happened, it got awkward.”
They decided to eat at a steakhouse and quickly talked about what food they wanted to order. She thought they wouldn’t be getting an appetizer, so she focused on what she wanted for her entree.
She was relieved they spoke about food for the first few minutes of the evening since it was a relatively easy conversation.
But, when the waiter came over, her boyfriend took control of the situation and ordered appetizers unexpectedly. He ordered guacamole and chips for the table before she could process what was happening and speak up.

He and his sister love guacamole, but she hates it. She’s never liked avocados, and she’s told her boyfriend that many times.
“Normally, I would say something, but it was just sprung on me that they were getting a [starter], so I didn’t get a chance to pick anything,” she recalled.
“So I decided not to say anything, I wasn’t that hungry, and I thought my main was going to be great.”
She watched as her boyfriend and his sister mostly talked amongst themselves until the guacamole came out. They gave her a strange look when they noticed that she didn’t pick up a single chip.
She reminded her boyfriend that she doesn’t like avocados and thought he would’ve remembered that. But, instead of apologizing, her boyfriend seemed angry with her and said she should have spoken up.
She didn’t want to cause any drama and said everything was fine. She said she wasn’t that hungry and would enjoy her entree. Her boyfriend gave her a half-hearted apology, and the rest of the evening was very awkward. She continued to struggle to talk to him and his sister.
When they got home later that evening, her boyfriend told her she was “in the wrong” at dinner and should have said something about the appetizer. She explained that she doesn’t appreciate how he leaves her out of consideration when his family is in town but that she was alright for the rest of the meal. Still, he decided to give her the silent treatment after that evening. It sounds like a lot of drama over some guacamole, but it seemed to draw attention to a deeper issue she’s been having with her boyfriend.
Should her boyfriend have been more considerate that night, or should she have spoken up?
