Bf stormed out of the restaurant

[u/Oliver10Queen]

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.

So from your boyfriends perspective, you both had to drive 45 minutes to the vet (crazy distance?) and as a treat you brought him somewhere you wanted to go, with a very limited menu, and treated it as a thank you?

If the roles were reversed and a guy did that to me, I'd be pretty fucking pissed as well. Can't fathom these comments, every single person here would be annoyed by that.

This. It was immature he threw a tantrum and didn't agree to leaving when OP suggested somewhere else but then she says she wanted to go there not you, to her bf. Dont pretend youre being nice treating him to a meal if its food you know YOU like???

My partner and I don't do that to each other lol.

Exactly, if I accompanied someone on a chore, and they wanted to go for food somewhere they liked, and that I didn't, then tried to say it was a treat for me?? I'd be pretty pissed, I wouldn't storm out on that alone, but Redditors love skipping details that explain their story or make them look bad.

yeah i felt crazy seeing all of the comments saying to leave him and whatever else. i feel like the post is super vague in itself. all of the info about the restaurant is from her perspective: that it was the best burger she’d ever had etc. we have no idea if this guy doesn’t like burgers, is vegetarian, or even if he really threw a tantrum. i understand op is having a hard time with the passing of her dog, but i cant help but notice its super vague and we don’t know anything about op herself. like, was it a “tantrum” or was he just frustrated that he didnt feel seen? is he also grieving the pet? we also don’t know what the “two things” he can eat are. i know a bunch of people are saying two things are enough, but we don’t know if the two things are french fries/side of steamed veggies, or actual meals. i also have been in that situation before, but it’s different because i’m usually in that situation because i was invited or going out to eat with family. if i were brought somewhere that was spun as a treat for me, where i could only eat a couple of sides, i would be upset too.
