    Font - AITA for eating my fast food in the car so my girlfriend can't have the first bite? I have been living with my girlfriend for the past six months. We're both in our early 20s and have an overall great relationship. From well before our relationship began, I've been a big fast food eater. There's an intersection in my city that hosts seven different fast food restaurants, and I'll frequent basically all of

    Font - My girlfriend always wants to have exactly one bite, exclusively the first bite, of every item I order. When I noticed this, I would start by contacting her on my way to the restaurant asking if she wanted something. Her answer was consistently "no." But when I get home and dig in, the crinkling of a fast food bag is like Pavlov's bell to her. She'll immediately beeline straight for wherever I'm eating and ask if she can have a bite.

    Human body - I've tried ordering a bit more and letting her polish off the whole burger. No, she'll turn every item into a sampler platter and then throw away the food I bought for her after the first bite if I don't eat it.

    Font - I don't like it. I don't like this bizarre culinary version of jus primae noctis. For the past few weeks I've been eating in my car and discretely disposing of the wrappers. I was just telling her I wasn't hungry after work, but the other day she found a garbage bag full of fast food wrappers in our bin on garbage day and she's furious at me for lying to her. AITA for not sharing with her?

    Rectangle - sportdickingsgoods · 8 hr. ago Agree. Better to be honest but draw a hard line NO to any sharing. If she wants something, she has to request her own item. I don't let anyone make me feel bad for being unwilling to share my food.

    Font - Ianthin1 · 8 hr. ago This is the most bizarre flex I've ever seen someone pull. She probably started doing this as something cute and endearing, but now it's a real problem imo. This isn't like stealing a fry while you're already eating. This is saying you can't eat until she does, no matter what. I say eat when you want, and if she want something she can have her own. Share on your own terms. NTA.

    Organism - throwaway_thyroid - 8 hr. ago It's weird as hell. It's like she read in a 1996 issue of Cosmopolitan that taking the first bite of your BF's meal is adorable and men love it but that she would be thought of as fat and gross if she ordered her own.

    Font - therealleslieknope · 8 hr. ago NTA. Isn't it an unspoken rule that if you want a bite of someone else's food that you do not, under any circumstances, get the first bite?! Is she acting out from never having the first bite as a kid?! What is this crazy psychology?!
