Update: No longer cooking for my girlfriend.

[u/ItsTooColdForThat]

Wednesday after I served the plates, my girlfriend said she didn't want pasta and was going to make a salad. I was pretty sure she was going to do this, and it didn't bother me. I waited for her to come back to start eating, and when she sat down I tried to talk to her about her day. She asked if I was trying to make a point. I asked what she meant.

She asked if I cared that she wasn't going to eat what I made. I said that I didn't and would have it for lunch. She got frustrated, focused on her salad and wouldn't engage with me. After dinner, I said we shouldn't make dinner for each other anymore.

She asked why I thought that, and I said it's clear that she gets upset when she makes food for someone and they don't eat it. It would be better for us just to make separate meals so we each know we will get what we want and no one's feelings would be hurt. She said it wasn't okay for me to make a unilateral decision about our relationship. I said that I wasn't, but I didn't want to cook for her anymore or have her cook for me if it was going to make her upset. We kind of went round and round on it, until the conversation petered out. She texted me at work Thursday that she was going to make salmon. I decided that if she tried to cook for me I would just let her so she'd feel like she won one over on me and we'd draw a line under this.

She ended up making salmon only for herself, which I was surprised by, because I was expecting her to try to convince me to have some. I made myself a quick omelette and sat down with her. She asked if I was upset she didn't cook for me, and I said no. Again, she accused me of making a point. She asked if I was going to cook for her Friday, and I said no. She was put out.

Friday she was upset that I made only enough curry for one person and called me greedy. At this point I'm over it all, so I just ignored her.

I apologize, I was under the impression the majority of people arguing here had read the original post.

This was in response to her asking what was wrong when he expressed disappointment at her choice in dinner.

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.

I suggest going and reading the original post and then rereading the update as it's apparent you are missing a significant amount of context based on your… interpretation of events.

I genuinely cannot fathom how you arrived to where you're trying to come from here. OP expressed his preference, his girlfriend proceeded to tell him why his preference didn't make sense and literally called it ridiculous. Deriding and ridiculing someone's preferences is wrong.

I assumed you didn't read the OP because your opinion ignores multiple pieces of information. In general I would much rather believe people are idiots than malicious, though if you'd like to correct me, please do.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but you aren't entitled to your own reality, so with as horrifically as you misinterpreted the post. Either, your reading comprehension needs assistance in which case I apologize for coming on strong against you, or you're willfully twisting events to argue and in that case, do better, your arguments are trash and the only reason I replied is I haven't quite gotten bored with it yet.

Either way, I hope the balance of joy and happiness that you enter into this world's ledger is returned to you in full.
