'I ruined Christmas by storming out of dinner, I think my relationship is over'
Unless you follow a particular diet, or have an allergy to a particular food, asking your host to make you something completely different to eat from the other diners could come across as particularly rude. At least, this is the thinking of most people. However, one woman has taken to social media to find out if she is in the wrong after she ordered her future mother-in-law to make her a completely separate meal on Christmas Day.
Wanting to know if she was being unreasonable, the fussy eater shared her woes on Reddit and explained that she had stormed out of her first Christmas dinner with her future in-laws, after finding they hadn’t made ‘accommodations’ for her. Admitting she has “always been picky” about what she eats, she confessed: “I can't help it and it has to do with psychological factors, childhood, and personal likes and dislikes.”
Before accepting a Christmas invitation, she told her future mother-in-law that she “wouldn't be eating the traditional food”, and demanded they make special arrangements. She revealed: “I showed her a variety of dishes to choose from to accommodate me.”

Her fiancé's mother refused to go out of her way to make different food and requested she bring her own dish. The woman was shocked and reacted badly, telling her: “If I had to bring my own dish when I'm a guest then I better stay at home.

“We went back and forth and I insisted I wouldn't come if accommodations weren't being made. I just thought it was a simple request and my future mother-in-law could've agreed if she really wanted me there.” Her fiancé sided with his mother and asked that the woman bring her own food. But she ignored them both and showed up to her fiancé's family Christmas empty-handed.
“When we arrived there and I saw that no accommodations were made I got up, got my things and walked out, and went home.” She said. “My future mother-in-law and fiancé were shocked. I got tons of calls and texts from them both and my fiancé came home lashing out calling me selfish and spoiled to walk out like that over a dish that his mum didn't have to make for me.”
Her fiancé was really angry with her and reminded her that it was her responsibility to feed herself if she wasn’t going to eat what was on offer. “How is it my responsibility to feed myself when I'm a guest? Makes no sense to me," she argued. But her fiancé said she had, “started s***’, ruined their first Christmas with his family and disrespected his mum".
Convinced she was in the right, the woman shared the story on social media looking for backup but was quickly handed some very harsh home truths. One person wrote: “You’re the a** h***. From one picky eater to another. I went to a Christmas dinner with my mum's family. There was nothing I wanted, so I just socialized and ate when I got home. Why should she have to make a whole new dish just for you? That is pretty entitled behavior.”
Another agreed, “Let me recap. You DEMANDED some food was made to your liking, and when people told you "no", instead of cooking food for yourself, you caused a scene ?! If you have things you don't like to eat, it's YOUR problem. You are not a child anymore. Start acting like an adult.”
One person said she’s lucky her fiancé wasn’t angry enough to call off the engagement, “You’re the a** h***. Holy entitled. Pretty sure you don't need to address her as your future mother-in-law. You'll be single soon enough.”
Another said, “I would be so disappointed in my child if they brought home a partner like yourself.”
