    Font - AITA for ruining my wife's work and eating the food before she could take pictures of it? My wife runs a website dedicated for cooking and recipes. She takes pictures of food before we eat wether it's lunch or dinner and post them on her insta account. to be honest, I'm annoyed by having to wait so long for her to "get the perfeft shot" of the food after decorating it, adding this fork and removing that salad dish. It just takes so long and I lose my appetite from just waiting til she's d

    Font - I came to found that she has cooked an entire feast as her "next cooking project" and put it on the table. Note that by lokking at the whole table setting, I figured pictures had already been taken, right? but no, she said she was going to take few pictures and I had to wait. She went upstairs to get her camera that's when I grabbed the spoon and started filling my plate from every dish she's made and "ruining" the look as a result. I was hungry and unwilling to wait around for 10+ to eat

    Font - She came downstairs, saw the "damage" and blew up almost crying saying I just ruined her cooking project that she worked hours for as well as putting efforts into. I said I was hungry and couldn't wait but she kept yelling how much of an obnoxious jerk I was for not waiting til dhe took pictures of the dishes she made, Even said that this was an AttEmPt of me to "Sabotage" her success. I said "oh please enough with those cons racy theories, I'm just hungry and couldn't wait til she got th

    Font - When I returned she'd threatened that she'll never have me eat anything she cooks and said she'd rather throw it in the garbage then give it to a ungrateful, obnoxious jerk like me. I said this wasn't cool but she told me to go f myself. I said fine then went to spend the night in the guests room. she texted me the word "jerk" about 15 times til I turned my phone off. Today she has gone complete radio silence. AITA?

    Font - Zuzara_The_DnD_Queen A YTA S3 Enthusiast [5] Dude she worked hard on it and you couldn't wait a few minutes while she took pictures. If you can't stand the wait then make your own food. You did do it to sabotage her since you KNEW that she hadn't taken any photos yet. Apologize to your wife. 25.4k Share

    Font - polarisfrost 2 S YTA. The fact that you said so yourself that you PURPOSELY destroyed her work that she made an effort for, for hours, mind you, you even went far by eating every single one. Just because you can't wait for another 10 minutes?

    Font - Want to eat as soon as you like? Then cook your own food. God, how hard must it be to cook a meal or just make a f ing sandwich. I'll say this again for the people at the back. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO MAKE YOUR WIFE YOUR OWN CHEF OR MAID. This is her "work", and technically, you're just a freeloader for her "work". You just get to eat because she "works". Cook your own d meal.

    Font - potterysl 335 & 2 More Parta pant [1] YTA. Let's break this down: 1. THIS IS HER JOB. She's not making this food and making you wait to take pictures for funsies. She spent hours planning this, preparing this, and was ready to finish and you came home to ruin her work? How would you feel if she went to your workplace and destroyed a project because she was "annoyed" she had

    Font - "annoyed" she had to wait a MERE ten minutes? 2. Your lack of respect for wife is appalling. This is your wife. This is her job. You're making fun of her a getting annoyed because she wants to contribute to the family income?

    Font - 3. If this is a pattern her preparing food and requesting you wait so she can photograph it - eat a snack and be patient. Stop acting shocked that she's going to do this. If you're "starving" then get some fruit snacks and a juice box and wait for her to finish. Act like a toddler, snack like a toddler. Better yet, cook your own d food!

    Font - Edit: Even if she was doing for funsies, it doesn't give OP any right to do what he did! I was just focusing on the job aspect of it because even though it's something that DOES pay the bills, he still disrespects her. I'd imagine if she was just doing this for a hobby he would have just thrown the food directly at her face like a toddler. 7.2k Share

    Font - ∞ WhereTheWhalesAt ² 5 Bud. Do you really need to ask? You took something she loves to do, something she is proud of, something that brings her joy, and you told her you didn't care about it. I don't doubt that she spent hours if not the entire day preparing that. You sound like an enormous a I feel so sorry for her. You should be supporting her hobbies and interests, and if she has enough followers on instagram, she could eventually be making much more than you do, if she isn't already.
