Some people have strong opinions about certain dietary choices. But when you think about it, it really shouldn't be such a big deal how someone else decides to feed themselves. Sure, it can be difficult to make vegan desserts, or find a gluten-free pizza, but if you know in advance that someone can't eat those things, how hard would it be to just make a plan B? Is it so hard to go one meal without meat? Or yeast?

And if you're absolutely not willing to accommodate for someone's restrictions then we would say it's fair game for them to bring their own food, considering eating is kind of a necessary thing. But that's just our opinion. What is your take?

    Font - I've been with my husband for 4 years and we had an elopement on summer. My in laws are very traditional and they didn't want to invite me to their house for an event or dinner unless we were married. So for 4 years l've never been invited to family dinners, whether it's birthdays, holidays, anything really. I was only allowed to visit for a casual hang out with them but not be part of the "official gatherings". I didn't like that and neither did my husband but they're very traditional.

    Smile - There's been a lot of conflict about this because my husband chose to spend holidays with me for the past 2 years and since my in laws didn't allow me in their house we spent the holidays either with my family or our friends.

    Font - Now that we are married, although not through a traditional wedding (in laws weren't happy about it but we are legally married so there's not much they can say anyway), they've started inviting me on their family gatherings. Since we got married there had not been any and the first was few days ago at my father in law's birthday dinner.

    Font - I'm vegetarian, while I still eat dairy I don't eat meat. My husband told my MIL if she could prepare some vegetarian options for me as well and it doesn't have to be something difficult, even some beans or a salad I would be fine with. My MIL refused and said the main dish is steak. She refused to make a simple salad with tomato and lettuce. I told my husband that I'll have no choice but to prepare my own food to eat.

    Font - So I brought my own food and my in laws got mad at me and called me disrespectful, my MIL said that I didn't even bother appreciating her cooking and insulted me for my vegetarian choices. My husband told them to knock it off and that they're being unreasonable but my in laws, including my SIL who's not as traditional as them, told me that bringing my own food to eat to another house is disrespectful no matter the circumstances. AITA???? 10k 1.2k T, Share

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I may be TA because I disrespected the hosts aka my in laws by bringing my own food at their family dinner because they couldn't accommodate my dietary choices.

    Font - Deergasus · 20h Partassipant [4] NTA - if they won't accommodate you, than you have to bring your own food. But it boggles my mind that there were no sides? Only steak? I also think they just look n for excuses to dislike you. G Reply 4 1.9k 3 ...

    Font - LuvMeLong Thyme · 20h Professor Emeritass [92] What? Do they want you to just sit there with any empty plate as everybody chows down on their steak? Either they provide something for you to eat-or you do. Or you just don't go. I vote for the third option. They sound "traditionally" awful. NTA G Reply 1 1k 3 ...

    Font - Confident-Bluejay-81 · 19h They simply don't want you there. For four years they made a ridiculous excuse not to let you in their house- seriously, what 'tradition' involves deliberately not getting to know the woman their son intends to marry? Now that excuse no longer works they produce food they know you can't eat and insist that you are rude if you don't eat it! They have been rude and disrespectful to you from day 1 and it's time to call a halt. They want you to stay away? So your hu

    Font - SadderolderWiser • 19h Colo-rectal Surgeon [36] NTA - it's disrespectful to pretend to host someone for a meal while making sure there is nothing they can eat. Eloping was the best decision you and your husband ever made. I can't even imagine what nightmares they would have been at your wedding. G Reply 1 205 ...
