A woman is wondering if she overreacted during a dinner date with her boyfriend.
She took to Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum for help. She comes from an affluent family, while her boyfriend does not. When she took him out to an upscale restaurant, he started to behave strangely. After she confronted him about it, he called her a “pretentious snob” and she stormed out of the dinner.
“I have been with my boyfriend for a few months,” she wrote. “Unlike him, I come from a well-off background. Last week I invited him out to an upscale restaurant for a dinner together. He ordered some orange juice then asked the waitress to bring him two more straws besides the one he had with his juice. I was puzzled.”
“I asked if he was expecting one of his friends and he laughed and said, ‘ohhh no…not after what they did to me last night.’ I was like ‘????’ but watched to see what he was doing. The waitress came back with the two straws then took our orders. The minute she walked away my boyfriend put the other two straws in his juice and basically started sipping with the three straws making an unbelievably absurd and annoying sound.”
When she asked him why he was behaving this way, she couldn’t believe his response.
“I was floored. I asked what he was doing and why,” she said. “He nonchalantly and smugly smiled and said so he could drink faster. I got mad and quite embarrassed cause people were literally side-eyeing me since I’m a regular. I told him to stop but he didn’t. I said that I’d leave if he wouldn’t and he made eye contact and kept sipping. I had it, I said I wasn’t going to continue to be humiliated any longer and grabbed my stuff and made my way out. He shouted for me to wait but I didn’t.”
“30 minutes later, he started rage texting me about how I overreacted and how I keep ruining good times worrying about what those ‘snobs’ think. Then talked about how ridiculous I was to walk out like that and repeatedly texted about how I should stop being a pretentious snob just because I hang around them which I found really really offensive. He expected me to apologize for ‘making a scene’ and walking out like that over something so stupid and harmless.”
Redditors thought the boyfriend was being rude here.
“Consider dating grown men who prefer enjoying good food in a nice place to acting up like a bored child,” a user said.
“Your boyfriend sounds childish,” another wrote.
“Dump him and find an adult to date,” someone added.
