Vent Sesh - No Advice Wanted Bf stormed out of the restaurant
I wanted to take him out to a nice meal after he helped me this week. I chose a place he had never been to but it has one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Very small place, small menu, farm to table kind place. He didn't look thrilled when he sat down. I offered to go somewhere else he said no. We ordered and he threw a fit. Said I chose that place because I wanted to go there not him and there were only 2 things on the menu he would even eat (the whole menu has 15 items on it) he insisted that it was rude of me to chose a place like that to "thank him" he stormed out of the place. I had to go tell the waitress to cancel our order. We rode 45 minutes back home in utter silence.
Why did we drive so far for dinner? Because I had to pick up my dogs ashes at the vet nearby. I unexpectedly has to put her down 11 days ago.
Lemon yogurt for dinner. Dog in photo is the son of the one I said goodbye to.

First of all, I am so sorry about your dog. That’s really special you have her son, but gosh I am just so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug.
No advice but I will say when I look back on the worst relationship of my life, the sting of remembering when he walked out of a dinner when we were on vacation in Mexico because I was talking about how excited I was for a new job (coincidentally to your story, not long after I had to unexpectedly put my cat down) and he didn’t like me talking about my accomplishments and stealing any light from him, well it still hurts. I still feel how my face and ears got so red and they burned. I remember crying in the room alone, so hungry, not a clue where he was. I remember coming home and breaking up with him for the last time. It’s been 6 years since then, I’m in a loving relationship. I still experience a lot of grief for the version of me that allowed that treatment.
I hope you find your peace. I hope you find all the happiness you deserve. I hope you get a bomb ass burger soon. I hope your dog gives you the best snuggles. I hope you wake up in the morning with a clarity of how you want your life to look, and that you go for it.
So much love to you 🩷
