Boyfriend Rages After Paying $200 For Buffet Only To Watch Girlfriend Take "Three Pieces Of Chicken" And Call It A Day
A pricey family dinner turned tense over food choices.
A 28-year-old woman just wanted a normal buffet dinner, until her boyfriend acted like she personally committed a crime by getting full. He paid $200, ordered like a man planning for a small army, then flipped out when she refused to keep eating.
The mess got worse fast. OP’s boyfriend kept pushing food even though she was already done, and when the check came, he accused her of making him waste money. The whole situation is complicated by one detail that stuck with Reddit readers: she only took “three pieces of chicken,” then called it a day, while he expected her to keep going.
Here’s the full story, and it ends with Reddit practically cheering when OP finally walked away.

That first “three pieces of chicken” moment is what made people side-eye him immediately, like he expected her stomach to match his shopping habits.
Once OP’s boyfriend accused her of “wasting money” after he kept ordering, the buffet dinner stopped being about food and started looking like control.
The comments got ruthless when users pointed out he could have chosen a restaurant that matched both their appetites instead of forcing extra plates onto OP.
By the time OP shared her update and walked away, Redditors weren’t just disgusted anymore, they were relieved.
The Reddit community is unanimously disgusted by OP's boyfriend's behavior. It was strange to many users that he kept ordering and pushing food to OP, even though he knew she wasn't interested and that he would be billed for it.
One Redditor described him as controlling and manipulative and asked OP to re-evaluate her relationship with him.
In an update she later shared, the OP found the courage to walk away from the relationship, much to the delight of Redditors who had been following the story.
