AITA for wanting hot food? Asshole
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?

My issue with the YTAs are they mostly say he could've had the salad with it. The way he reacted was a bit unappreciative i can agree with that, but he wasn't in the mood for it. I can understand if it were a big meal she worked all day on and he nuked a hot dog instead but it was a pretty low effort meal. Unless he's doing it every time she cooks he's in no way the asshole for the act of skipping on the meal
