    Font - AITA for going to my parents' house and leaving my fiancée at home after she said she wanted to bring her own food to Thanksgiving?
  • 02
    Font - Me and my fiancee (both 20s) have been together for 3 years and had a long distance relationship. This is supposedly, her first thanksgiving with my family.

    Font - My mom invited us to attend thansgiving dinner and when I told my fiancee about the invitation she asked about what was prepared for dinner and I said the traditional dishes every home prepares and she made a face and said she'll accept the invitation and go BUT will bring her own cooked food with her.

    Font - I was shocked I asked why because as far as I know she's not allergic nor vegan and she hasn't even tried my mom's cooking. She said that is just her choice and wanted to eat something else to add new flavor for thanksgiving since she was always forced to eat the same old traditional meals every year by her family.

    Font - I was mad I told her it'd be disrespectful of her as a first time guest at our family's thanksgiving but she said it was better than telling my mom to cook other dishes specifically for her.
  • 06
    Font - I told her no she can not bring food with her and if she insists then she needs to stay home and not come with me because I'm not about to let her offend my mom's cooking.

    Font - She got all dramatic almost crying saying I was being controlling and that I should just let her come and bring her own food instead of overreacting like that. I stood my ground and she kept saying she wanted to bring food and that she wasn't willing to go hungry to please my mom.

    Font - I had it at this point and got ready to go over to my parents who live hours away.
  • 09
    Font - I got in the car with my stuff and left her behind crying then started calling me saying I should not have went and left her alone at home and that I was wrong for making this my hill to die and causing her to miss my mom's invite.

    Font - I'm at my parents house right now. I made up some excuse as to why my fiancee didn't come but I'm still bothered by what happened especially when she keeos guilting me for leaving her behind calling me selfish jerk and whatnot.

    Font - ETA: Oh yeah, She was actually planning on bringing an entire cooked meal so I wasn't just talking about some side dishes to share with the family. that would've been a different story. 96% Upvoted

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I think I should've just let her bring her own food to avoid unneccesary drama and conflict.
