She Told Her Husband He Pretty Much Deserved To Get Food Poisoning Since He Didn’t Listen To Her
This 37-year-old woman admits that throughout her life, she’s been more on the neurotic side when it comes to food safety.
She’s worked in plenty of restaurants over the years, which has contributed to her care and consideration when it comes down to the things we eat.
Additionally, when she was a kid, she and her sister routinely got sick off dishes their grandma made for them, so she’s got a bit of trauma surrounding that.
Now, her 36-year-old husband loves to dismiss what he calls her food safety infatuation, but that never created waves until her husband began learning to cook around 3 or 4 years ago.
She sometimes will try to suggest he use a thermometer to double check that something is cooked properly, and he will roll his eyes at her before doing it. He gets irritated when she tries to be of assistance.
Two weeks back, she and her husband were putting groceries away when she spotted a condiment that appeared weird to her.
It was darker than it should have been, and the oil in it separated from the rest of the concoction, so she told her husband she thought it had gone bad.
Her husband is the only one who eats it, and instead of taking her suggestion to get a refund or toss it, he put it in their pantry.
Several days later, she realized the condiment hadn’t made it to the trash, so she asked her husband about it a couple of times, but he ignored her, so she quit bringing it up.

Two days ago, her husband sent her a text saying he had to stop working as he threw up two times.
Her husband works from home and is never sick, so she was curious as to why he felt so ill. Later on when she got home, her husband revealed that he ate the sauce that had spoiled, and it all came back up not even three hours after he consumed it.
“I’m annoyed, but he looks miserable, so I crush my annoyance down to the size of a pebble, make him a glass of electrolytes, and set him up on the couch with a wastebasket and Darkest Dungeon 2,” she explained.
She was super irritated because her husband promised to make it to an important doctor’s appointment with her the following day, and she was worried he was going to miss it due to eating the sauce.
Thankfully, he rebounded enough to go with her to the doctor, and she’s been trying her best to refrain from picking at her husband’s deplorable lack of food safety standards ever since.
She finally got so fed up that she couldn’t help but blurt out that it was all his fault he suffered from food poisoning.
“I wasn’t going to say ‘I told you so’ while you were sick, but since you’re feeling better, I TOLD you that sauce was off; I TOLD you to throw it away and look what happened. Hope you learned a lesson,” she said to her husband.
Well, they got into a fight, and her husband argued that he checked the expiration date and smelled the sauce, so it looked alright to him.
He called her a jerk for acting as if she knew he would get ill anyway, but she knows she was right.
“Now we’re at a stalemate; if y’all think I was [a jerk] for kicking him while he was still 10% down, then I promise to apologize,” she added. “Otherwise, I’m sticking to my guns.” What do you think?
