My husband and I have totally different tastes when it comes to food. That’s perfectly fine. However, Lately, whenever we go out to a restaurant, we’d both order different dishes then he suddenly asks to eat from my dish and would throw a fit if I refuse. He’s done this several times and I snapped and told him to stop asking and order from the same dishes if he wanted it so bad.
Last night, we went out for dinner and ordered different dishes. Before we made the order I asked if he was sure about the dish he picked and he said “Yes!”.
The food arrived and each of us had our plate and started eating. literally minutes later, he asked if he could eat from my dish. I looked at him like “are you serious right now?” and he went on about how he couldn’t resist the looks of the dish and really really really wanted to try it. I refused and said no. I kept eating and he kept pushing til I blew up and he got quiet all of a sudden. He then got up and walked out.
He was furious with me and picked an argument at home when I got back. He said that I acted petty and that all he asked for was a few bites from my meal and I chose to make a scene, and yell and embarrass him instead.
We’re not speaking to each other right now because of what happened. I feel shi**y about it and I think that I could’ve just let him have some of the food instead of choosing to die on such a silly hill.
Edit: We pay for our meals separately.
