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.
The OP (Original Poster) of this story explained that she was visiting her boyfriend and his family out of state, and on her final night, he decided to take everyone out for what he framed as a special meal.
He picked the restaurant, invited five of his relatives, and chose an all-you-can-eat BBQ and sushi spot he loved.
The setup sounded generous and thoughtful on the surface, but things started to feel off once the ordering began. The restaurant used a shared format in which food was brought to the table, and anything left uneaten incurred extra charges.
The boyfriend ordered large amounts of pork and beef for the group, even though OP does not eat pork and only eats red meat occasionally. She stuck to foods she knew she liked and could finish, like chicken, shrimp, rice, and vegetables.
As the meal went on, the mood shifted. He pushed her to eat foods she had already said she did not want, gave her looks that made her uncomfortable, and even tried to trick her by passing pork off as chicken.
She ate everything she ordered and stopped when she was full, but it was clear he was keeping score. By the time they got back into the car, the night had turned into a confrontation about money.
What was supposed to be a generous family outing quickly became something else entirely. Read the screenshots below to see how the night unfolded in her own words.

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.
