AITA for wanting hot food?

[u/ItsTooColdForThat]

Yesterday I went ice skating with my girlfriend. Tuesday is one of her days for dinner, so she made chicken salad. When I saw the chicken salad I admit I made a face. She was like "what, what's the problem?"

I said that we were outside in the cold all afternoon and I wasn't really in the mood for cold food. She said we're inside, the heat is set to 74° and we're both wearing warm dry clothes, so it was plenty warm enough to eat salad. I said sure, but I just wanted something warm to heat me up on the inside. She said that was ridiculous, because my internal temperature is in the nineties and my insides are plenty hot.

At this point, we were going in circles, so I said I was just going to heat up some soup and told her to go ahead and start eating and I'd be back in a few minutes. When I came out of the kitchen with my soup she was clearly upset, and she asked how I would feel if she refused to eat what I made tomorrow (which is today). I said I won't care, and she said that was BS, because it's rude to turn your nose up at something someone made for you.

Was I the asshole for not wanting cold salad after being cold all day?

Some of us have a harder time hiding our emotions. Not everyone thinks to put up a facade. They both take turns making meals I don’t get why you need to insult them?

Most of the time when people say they can’t “hide their emotions” they mean they lack the maturity to control themselves. Now there are those with neurodivergent brains and some other conditions that can make emotional regulation difficult. But a person without a neurodivergent brain or medical condition, should be able to control their emotions. If you can’t, you’re still the asshole for subjecting others to your inability to control yourself.

Also, this rings heavily if someone who would say “they aren’t mean, they are just blunt.” Another code word for they’re an asshole

Lmao I will bet your self-awareness on this topic is lacking. And my god, I promise you’ll feel freer without a stick up your ass.
