She Kicked Her Boyfriend Out of Her House After He Left The Lasagna She Made For Dinner On The Counter All Night
This woman and her boyfriend are both in their 30s.
They have been together for two years, and, unfortunately, dating him hasn’t been smooth sailing throughout the majority of their relationship.
“It’s been rocky because he is unemployed, lives with his parents, and has a history of defensiveness that can make him uncomfortable to be around (this is related to his non-employment),” she said.
She has tried to be as patient as possible with her boyfriend, especially considering the fact that not long ago, he received a severe diagnosis that has changed his entire life, and she believes that he’s a good person deep down.
However, she now doesn’t have any patience left.
“My boyfriend often stays at my house for days at a time and enjoys my cooking. I made a from-scratch lasagna, all the way down to pulling the tomatoes out of the garden,” she explained.
“We had a spoken agreement that he would tidy up after. After I ate, I went upstairs, had a bath, and fell asleep in bed.”
She works as a communicable disease epidemiologist, and she has had numerous conversations with her boyfriend about how serious and crucial food safety is.
Because she studies the statistics, she pays close attention to the way she prepares and handles food in order to avoid getting herself or anyone else sick.
The following morning, she got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. To her shock and horror, her boyfriend had left the lasagna on the counter all night long, so it had gone bad.

Understandably grossed out, she first took her dog outside before she came back in so that she could throw the lasagna away and then eat breakfast.
But while she’d been outside with the dog, her boyfriend had woken up and put the lasagna that he’d left out all night back in the fridge.
“I discovered this when I went back to the kitchen to get a glass of water,” she shared. “He was willing to risk getting me sick and save face by putting it in the fridge after it sat out for 14 hours.”
“If I didn’t know any better, I would have potentially eaten it. Knowing he’s a bit fragile, I tried to talk to him about it. I didn’t expect him to respond the way he did. When I asked him if he knew that eating food left out was unsafe, he said he didn’t.”
“After two years together and me setting boundaries around food safety, that didn’t make sense to me. So, I paused and looked at him, confused. He screamed as loud as he could, an inch from my face, ‘I DIDN’T KNOW! DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE I’M STUPID!'”
Her boyfriend kept ranting, apparently furious that she was supposedly making the assertion that he knew things that he actually didn’t.
As calmly as she could, she told her boyfriend to “‘Get out,'” over and over. She knew that she deserved respect, and she was aware of how valuable she was in their relationship.
Obviously, she acknowledged that she didn’t deserve to be screamed at by her boyfriend, and she couldn’t believe the insanity of him being angry that she was, rightfully, angry.
Then, her boyfriend got all his belongings together and left her house. He didn’t contact her for nearly a week.
In the end, she dropped off the rest of her boyfriend’s things at his parents’ house. In a heartbreaking goodbye, her boyfriend’s father gave her a hug and said sorry on his son’s behalf.
Her boyfriend wasn’t at the house at the time.
As time goes on, she realizes in hindsight just how outrageous her boyfriend’s behavior truly was.
Do you think she was right to kick her boyfriend out of her house because he left the lasagna out all night?
