She Threw Out The Dinner She Made For Her Boyfriend After He Wouldn’t Pick Up After Himself
This 24-year-old woman and her 26-year-old boyfriend live together and, like most couples, try their best to split up the household chores.
She’s in charge of laundry while he takes out the trash. She also does most of the cooking and packs him lunches for work. They both work a similar schedule, but her commute is twice as long as his.
Over the past few months, the couple has argued several times about how he does not clean up after himself.
For example, he will leave his used towel in the bathroom and not hang it up to dry, which causes it to get smelly and moldy.
He also tends to leave his clothes all over the ground, and she has just about had enough.
“He knows this causes me a huge amount of stress and anxiety, and I refuse to do it for him because he is an adult,” she explained.
When they first started living together, she would kindly and patiently ask her boyfriend each day to hang up his bath towel and put his dirty clothes into the hamper.
After several days, she would begin to get frustrated and try to explain to her boyfriend that she shouldn’t have to ask him to clean up after himself every single day.
“In response, he’d get mad, threaten to leave ‘since he’s such a horrible boyfriend,’ say he was going to put it away eventually, and that I was being a [brat],” she said.

Recently, she got off of work earlier and decided to use that extra time to do something special for her and her boyfriend.
She walked home a mile from the train station and got to cooking up a nice dinner for the two of them.
However, she was frustrated and annoyed when she saw five days’ worth of clothes piled up on the ground.
She had been avoiding asking him to take care of it lately, in fear that it would start up another big argument.
The meal was just about ready by the time he came home, but she decided to confront him about his mess again.
She asked him to please take care of it now, and he told her that he would in an hour because his feet were hurting, and he continued to sit and play games on his computer.
He works in an office job and drove home from work, so she was confused about how his feet could be hurting any worse than hers.
So, she asked him again, explaining that she walked a mile home after work and still decided to make dinner for them.
He replied, saying that if she was going to hold dinner over his head like that, then she should just throw it out instead.
“So I did. I threw out a whole dinner of pasta and ground beef because I felt disgusted by the thought of someone who doesn’t respect me or our living space eating food I exhaustedly spent an hour making,” she stated.
In response to this, he was angry, thought it was crazy for her to waste the food, and told her that she must have mental problems to be so fine with doing that.
Do you think she overreacted by throwing away their dinner, or do you think that it was well deserved based on his behavior?
