    Font - I (F27) started seeing my boyfriend (M31) for 8 months. He comes from a well off family and has met my parents a while ago and got along well. Though he didn't eat well at dinner and said he was sick. They invited him over for the second time this past week to town.

    Font - I was baffled I said dinner? At my parents table? He nodded and I told him this isn't acceptable infact, this was distasteful and I won't let him do this. He got upset and said I should chill, this stuff is expensive and is good brand and claimed my parents wouldn't overreact like I did, and will not say anything. I said no this is so insulting and I wouldn't allow him to enter my parents house much less...put these utensils at their table. I asked him if he thought my family were unhygen

    Font - He texted me saying I was being dramatic for no reason and pressured me to let him come in and bring the utensils with him but I refused. He said he'd tell my parents but I didn't reply. Eventually he left and went to the hotel and waited til I returned..then went off saying I stopped him from having dinner with my parents over a petty reason, I said he could've had dinner if he left his utensils in the car. He said it's all on me, I wasted his time on this trip and ruined the visit. AITA

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I might have been the asshole for insisting he couldnt bring the utensils snd causing him to miss dinner after he took time from work to visit.

    Font - SagestLynx · 8 hr. ago Does your boyfriend have OCD or another mental health condition that would explain this behaviour? If he has a genuine problem then his need to bring his own cutlery is fine. Otherwise you are definitely NTA and your boyfriend is a nut job

    Font - hashtagidontknow · 8 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [8] NTA Does he also take his own utensils to restaurants? No, then NTA. He was being weird and rude.

    Font - Jazzlike-Squirrel116 · 8 hr. ago I don't get it. Did he say why he needed his own utensils?? NTA here but I'm confused. Does he have other "strange" habits around eating? It just sounds so out of the ordinary it may be something he has issues around (sensory/anxiety/phobia). The fact he had an issue eating last time speaks to this. You need to sit down and discuss this issue without blame for one another so you can understand each others perspective.

    Font - Lulu_531 · 7 hr. ago Partassipant [1] He's the AH. And to all the people diagnosing mental health issues, OP has been with the guy 8 mths and this hasn't happened. No way they've only eaten at his home for 8 mths. I suspect his disorder is being a ridiculous snob. He did point out that his stuff was "expensive".
