Guy Yells at Girlfriend for Refusing to Stop Contaminating Food, GF Accuses Him of "Fat Shaming"

Ever dated someone who acts like a giant toddler when they're told they can't just do whatever they want? Redditor u/throwawaycakegf's girlfriend is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. u/throwawaycakegf recently posted to r/AmItheAsshole after getting into an ongoing argument with his girlfriend over some cake mix. In his post, OP explains that he was helping his baker sister with her business by making wedding cake mix at home so she wouldn't have so much to do in the shop. He noticed that his girlfriend kept dunking her fingers into the cake mix to have a taste. When he asked her to stop contaminating the food with her hands and to just use a spoon instead, she refused, arguing that using her fingers reminded her of her childhood. Sounds to me like she still hasn't gotten past the childhood stage.

It all came to a head when OP yelled at his girlfriend for repeatedly contaminating his sister's cake mix. His girlfriend then attempted to evade accountability by accusing him of "fat shaming." Keep scrolling for OP's post and the subreddit's reactions.

The comment section

The comment section was overwhelmingly on OP's side. Some went so far as to suggest OP ought to break up with his girlfriend over the issue.

“It’s not even lack of self control. She could use a spoon. She’s doing this intentionally and maliciously. There’s more to the story. Maybe she doesn’t like the attention and time the brother is giving his sister. Basically a massive PITA who’s gonna make his life miserable.” said u/d1rkgent1y.

“Or she likes that it’s contaminated so she gets to have the rest. Certainly it’s deliberate. If OP isn’t ready to give her the heave-ho yet, he needs a lockbox for these items.” said u/calling_water.

“Man, I even offered to bring her slices of cake home. Because when I go to drop off the custard to my sister, she usually offers to give me a slice of cake or a pastry as a thank you for helping out. But my girlfriend refused that too.” said OP.

“I don’t know even the little kids I know would be fine with using a spoon if it meant they could keep trying the stuff” said u/IntelligentMeal40.

“And then trying to gaslight him by saying he’s fat shaming her? I hate fat shaming, but that’s absolutely NOT what he was doing. She’s an awful person.” said u/SickSadWorld1005.

“Oh God, I feel so guilty for laughing at this.” said OP.

“I am pretty sure she would put her finger into the bigger part of it and claim 'it just doesn't feel the same otherwise.'” said u/Dornenkraehe.
