Relationships come with quirks and compromises, but sometimes the little habits can create the biggest explosions. For me, it’s my girlfriend’s constant habit of taking bites from my food even though she knows it bothers me. Normally, I just grit my teeth and move on, but this time things spiraled out of control when mushrooms—her most hated food—got involved. Now she’s furious with me for something I didn’t think was my responsibility at all, and I’m left questioning whether I’m actually in the wrong.

Let’s check out how Redditors are reacting to this situation.


At the end of the day, I can’t shake the feeling that this entire blow-up could have been avoided if she simply respected my boundary about not taking my food. I never hid the mushrooms—she literally watched me cook them—so it feels unfair to blame me for what happened. Still, the argument has left a heavy tension between us, and I’m torn between standing my ground and apologizing just to smooth things over. Was I really wrong for making my own sandwich the way I wanted, or is she just refusing to take responsibility for her own actions?
