I was 100% with her until she ripped on the guy for not trying the tiramisu. Tiramisu is awful - but I guess all that says about him is that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Hmmm I dont know, it kinda sucks if your SO invites a group of strangers over without you being told/prepared. If you live with someone isnt it kinda expected to atleast give a heads up if you are bringing people over?
I wouldnt slam doors or act huffy, but I wouldnt be thrilled either. And probably a bit paranoid about not having had time to tidy up before people arrive.

She thought he was going to be out with his gaming buddies. He's a theatre person so his actions are pretty par the course for him

E: also we certainly weren't strangers. Not best friends or anything but we all know him. But most of us don't hang out with her anymore and he's actually a small reason why

The lesson is don't embarrass yourself and your SO at same time. You got beef you take it up with them when there isn't an audience and talk it out.

I [14M] am dating the girl of my dreams [14F] but she dated my friend [14M] who is a dangerous gang member and he will attack me (if not kill me) if he finds out that were dating.

quote:

I'm afraid that if he finds out we have feelings for each other we will resort to violence since he does a lot of illegal shirt and is a high level gang member. I'm not afraid of getting beat up since I have experience with martial arts and would be able to defend myself but what I am afraid of is knives he has an enormous pocket knife that is nearly a folding combat knife and I'm certain if he finds (and it will happen) out he won't hesitate to attack me if he catches me alone. He is very dangerous and if we ended up with beef all of my friends would side with him or stay out of it and I don't blame them he is terrifying when angry. For example I was chilling with him and a couple other guys smoking pot when these three middle schoolers walked by and him being high threw a glass bottle at them breaking on one of their heads then he proceeded to beat the poo poo out of them for a joke. He thought it was hilarious. If it was any other girl I would just stop now and leave with any other girl but she is pretty, funny, kind, smart pretty much any good quality in a girl she has it.

How does a picky eater throw a shitfit about a "make your own gyro" bar? Throw some meat in a flatbread, done. You don't even have to put tzatziki on it if that's somehow a threatening foreign flavor for you.

If you're so picky that you only eat chicken fingers and spaghetti & meatballs, you're not gonna be expanding your horizons into something as out there as lamb.

I had a friend who will only eat steak, salted steak fries, plain Cadbury chocolate and plain pasta with butter.

He brings his own food to any gathering and knows he's a loving massive weirdo, and isn't a massive child about it.

I did minted slow cooked lamb shanks on mash once and he couldn't even get a single bite down, but was very polite about it.

Fake edit: He'll also eat plain salted potato chips.

What kind of crazy as heck serial killer doesn't like kabobs and baklava?!! It's delicious meat and grilled vegetables on a stick. Plus the most delicious honey, walnut, and pistachio pastries! She had gyros too! I guess I can understand being weirded by grape leaves, even if they are very tasty, but meat and delicious desserts? I don't get it!

Exactly. Maybe it's not perfect, but if you're mortally freaked out by your SO bringing a few people over, then I have no clue how you function on a day-to-day basis. Then again, her example is some theater nerd, so that's the answer.

If you've ever had to deal with one of these types you would know that flatbread isn't bread. Only white processed Wonderbread-style loaves are bread, or maybe a hamburger bun.
Flatbread is weird and not bread. Pitas are not bread. Whole wheat anything is absolutely not bread.
And they're just gonna end up making frozen chicken fingers again anyways.

More picky eater chat: I also had dinner once with a friend who sent her entire plate back because a tiny bit of coleslaw was touching a french fry, so she wanted a new plate sans coleslaw (this wasn't one of those 'no foods should ever touch' people). I assume they probably just dumped the coleslaw and returned a 'fresh new' plate but the incident still made me irrationally angry.

When I was in Korea I had a co-worker who whenever presented with any Korean dish during meals, would grimace and ask "what's that?" and stuck to eating hamburgers and shabu shabu for most of her time there while swooning about how cool Japan was and talking about anime.

My ex also ate a burrito once that turned out to have avocado in it and she nearly barfed from disgust before throwing it away.

Also when I was a teen, I remember eating this green soggy leafy thing every day as part of the meals my mother used to cook and liked it, and at some point, I expressed I did not like spinach, despite never having tried it, only to find out the green soggy leafy thing I was eating was spinach.

Seriously though, I'm not this bad at all and will try basically anything but there's so many foods I literally can not keep down and I have no idea why and feel guilty every time I can't manage to enjoy something that looks and smells delicious. Something as simple as Coffee is on this list.

My [23F] son [4 months] has a Empoleon pokemon plush he sleeps with that my friend [22M] bought him. My brother [16M] almost threw it out because he hates pokemon
I'm staying with my mother after a nasty break up with my boyfriend. I have a good job so I don't really need a partner financially once I'm ready to go back to work. I'm staying here for another month and then I'm moving out in the new year.

My son Josh has this Pokemon toy my best friend bought him. It's name is Empoleon and it's his favorite toy by far. He cuddles with it before he goes to sleep and is the easiest way to get him to stop crying. My brother almost threw it out last night because he hates pokemon and won't have it in his house. We got into a big argument.

My question is do I rat him out to mom? I know no one likes running to mom everytime theres a problem, but I don't know how else to deal with him.

TL;DR: Brother almost threw my sons favourite toy out.
While the little brother sounds like an rear end in a top hat, "how do I rat him out to mom?" made me laugh. Just tell him to keep his stupid hands off stuff that isn't his.

It'd be one thing if he just didn't like the food available and cooked his admittedly childish dinner instead but it sounds like he was generally an rear end in a top hat about it. Granted I think at the point where you're letting your friends riff on your obviously upset SO even if they kind of deserve it the relationship is prolly over so she should really just call things for a multitude of reasons.
