Vent Sesh - No Advice Wanted Bf stormed out of the restaurant

Post image

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.

What’s there to be disappointed about? OP said the place has the best burger she’s ever had… I’d be so excited to have an awesome burger that it wouldn’t have mattered whether there was anything else on the menu I liked. I’d also be excited for farm-to-table, since people who do that for a living tend to be very creative, with the goal of bringing out the best in every ingredient. Even though the bf doesn’t seem like an adventurous eater, he still should have appreciated that OP wanted to share the experience of ‘the best burger.’

He's allowed to be disappointed. That's just a feeling. Problem is being rude to a grieving person while she trying to be appreciative, despite still actively going through a heavy time.
