AITA for putting extra food on my plate so my boyfriend can’t eat it, meaning I get leftovers?

Relationships are full of compromises, but sometimes the balance tips in ways that feel unfair. In my case, it’s not about chores, money, or attention—it’s about food. What started as simple dinners together has turned into a quiet battle over leftovers, finances, and fairness. Now I’m left wondering if my way of handling it makes me the villain.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about food—it’s about respect, fairness, and feeling heard. While my boyfriend sees it as me being selfish, I see it as survival on a tight budget. Maybe we need a new system, maybe he needs to chip in more, or maybe I really am being unreasonable. But one thing is clear: if something doesn’t change, this little battle over leftovers could become a much bigger problem.
