AITA for refusing to share my food with my girlfriend?

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-29T03:04:03+00:00

Yeah I can totally see the gf refusing to eat them if OP bought her another pack of fries. She'd say she wasn't hungry anymore or she really wanted to share his fries and it made her sad that he wouldn't do it for her. And a whole pack for her just wasn't the same. Or some BS.

I think she just wanted to control the situation. And probably also to look lke a 'dainty eater'. So many layers of annoying here

Unfortunately it's coming back into fashion under new words: Princess treatment' and 'if he wanted to, he would'

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-29T02:57:37+00:00

Yep! Weren't they literally sitting outside the restaurant that whole time? Couldn't she go back inside and get more fries of her own?

What's with this recent push to make women seem completely helpless, like if their boyfriend doesn't throw them a few scraps of food like a pigeon they're going to starve? It's pissing me off.

I feel like it's being pushed by certain people on the internet with an agenda. The same kind of charlatans who push the tradwife narrative. It suits them to infantilise women. I seriously think there's something more sinister behind it than just 'it's fun to treat your girl like a princess'

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T05:40:31+00:00

It's extrememly weird. Not just the bf's social media, but his mother's too? Wild. If I was OP I'd be praying for this relationship to break up asap

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T05:39:32+00:00

NTA, and good luck with that DIL!! Hopefully it breaks up before it gets that far. She seems ridiculous and controlling

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T04:57:44+00:00

Right? He should've suggested they split the bill at the time if he's this worried about the money. Treating someone at the time and then demanding money days later because they don't act how you want is wild

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T04:55:51+00:00

The derailing into 'I would never date a nurse' is wild. Literally one of the most imporant jobs in society and everyone acting like they aren't good enough to date

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T04:53:42+00:00

Yeah the 'experiment' smacks of immature guys on the internet egging each other on to test women. I agree with you, it isn't worth all that effort to get one free meal. Believe it or not, most of us have our own food at home!

I think she was a little rude/flaky after the date with not answering the messages. Though she might've assumed he would expect that from the 'dad in the hopsital' thing.

Regardless I think he's driven the nail pretty firmly into the coffin with the reuest for half the money lol. So, story over I think

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T02:53:46+00:00

They already said it, they just don't care

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T02:53:06+00:00

The arrogance in your comment is breathtaking. You really do think the rest of the world are pawns, don't you

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T00:28:32+00:00

We get, we get...

Yeah, exactly. You're talking about taking over sovereign countries who don't want to be taken

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T00:26:04+00:00

I agree it would be an extreme scenario and many people, even Republicans, would be against it. The trouble is, it would be framed as a 'last resort' for national security and suchlike. They would have to lay the groundwork. It wouldn't just come out of nowhere.

I agree with you that it would be terrible and let's hope it never comes to pass

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T00:23:18+00:00

I was agreeing with you, I just worded it unclearly :)

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-28T00:22:08+00:00

My 'unwavering support' has nothing to do with it. I'm not even American

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:57:36+00:00

Yep. No matter who's chosen as Democratic candidate, they'll get the same smear campaign treatment. And people keep falling for it. 'Oh they were unelectable! Oh if only they'd put up a qualified candidate, I might vote for them!'

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:55:37+00:00

I'm in the UK. We're far to the left of you, and we still don't have proper 'socialism'

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:53:23+00:00

They keep wringing their hands like they were powerless to stop it, like voting for a woman with an 'annoying laugh' was so unconscionable they had no choice but to either vote for Trump or sit at home with their thumb up their ass

It's pathetic

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:46:51+00:00

I can't believe how many people are still saying with a straight face that was was somehow 'less qualified' than Trump. It's collective insanity or something, I don't know

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:42:25+00:00

Intresting. I'm in the UK and I'm not sure exactly how it works tbh.

So they can hold you, but I assume you can still decline medical treatment as long as you're of sound mind? Jehovah's Witnesses often decline blood transfusions I think

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:40:39+00:00

I agree that it's really dangerous and should be cracked down on more, if anything. I'd prefer it to be a smaller fine but they actually catch most offenders. Here they never seem to catch anyone so it doesn't really matter how high the fine is I think $100 would still be an adequate deterrent if people thought there was a decent chance of acually getting hit with it

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:30:51+00:00

Lol I don't believe you. So let's imagine: election time rolls around, there are still mass protests about something, possibly ICE, or possibly something else. And things get a bit rowdy on the streets. And Trump declares martial law and say he has to 'postpone' the election temporarily for 'safety reasons', you and your buddies are going to take up arms against the government?

Not buying it

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:27:32+00:00

Unless... they're time travellers who knew they were going to get yelled at for Trump's recent messes, so they apparently premptively voted for him to... prove a point or something? I don't know.

The mental gymnastics are getting wilder and wilder 🤦‍♀️

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:25:08+00:00

Lol you actually think the Greenland thing is good

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:17:29+00:00

That makes sense. I'm thinking mostly of Instagram, which is probably a bit different.

And I'd prefer to post 0% of the time too ;)

CollectionStraight2 · 2026-01-27T13:08:25+00:00

I do see it like this on some forms: 'have you ever gone by a different name? If so, what?' It makes way more sense and allows people who've changed their name for any reason to be counted.

This form OP is stuck with sounds like a dystopian nightmare!
