Welcome back, spilled tea (or coffee) lovers. Insecurity can make people do the darnedest things in relationships. It makes people feel like they lack any control, so in response, they attempt to control their partner. A jealous girlfriend may forbid her handsome and extroverted boyfriend from interacting with any women besides herself. She may demand that he text her who he is with, check his texts with female coworkers, and obsessively keep track of the number of followers on his Instagram. An insecure boyfriend might feel jealous of other mens' gazes on his girlfriend's body,  and then unfairly expect her to cover up more for his sake.

In our story today, our protagonist's partner didn't typically demand her to dress conservatively, but he became irrationally upset after she exposed her body to the customers of the Cheesecake Factory. Her body reacted in the only way it could after someone spilled extremely hot coffee on her shirt, but her bae reacted in the worst way possible to her dilemma. Read below for the full, steaming-hot details.

    So me [23F] and my bf [24M] were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and went out to dinner to celebrate. My bf planned it as he knows how much I love the Cheesecake Factory. I REALLY love their cheesecake (this becomes important later) Well everything was going fine and we were having a good time until an elderly man at the next table scooted his chair out just as our server was approaching, causing him to stumble and spill hot coffee on me( down my back). It was obviously burning and startled m

    I'm pretty small chested so I don't typically wear a bra and obviously I wasn't thinking about that when something hot was running down my back burning me so I basically flashed all those at the tables around us. Yes I was embarrassed but at the same time it's just . I pulled my shirt back down right after realizing what happened but it was up for about 15 seconds. The server apologized over and over but it wasn't their fault it was all just an accident.

    Well anyway after this my bf wanted to leave, like immediately leave. He said that I was being overdramatic for the way I reacted in the situation and maybe I was but it did startle me really bad and it did burn. He told me I had put on a show for everyone in the restaurant especially since I screamed when it happened and that we need to leave.

    I told him it's not that big a deal and that I really want to stay to get cheesecake because it's my favorite, I eventually even offered to try to get some to go and he was dead set that we need to leave and didn't understand why I wasn't mortified. We ended up staying but for the rest of the date he kept saying that the men at tables near us were staring at me and probably thinking about me inappropriately but I said it wasn't my problem if they're being gross.

    When we got in the car he told me i ruined our anniversary for making him sit through that and we should have just left and that he can't believe I would choose a piece of cheesecake over his comfortability. We argued in the car the whole way home about it and Now we haven't spoken at all today. AITA? 8,148 2,302 ୪ D

    Practical-Agenct-456 • 15h When I was 21 I dated a guy I really really cared for. There were signs and red flags throughout, but I chose to ignore them because I loved him. The summer after we began dating temps in our area rose to 110 F. We were walking and it was hot as I was wearing a tank top with a tshirt over it (a la early 2000s). I slipped off my t shirt because I was just sweating through both layers. He snatched it from me, called me a I for trying to put a show on for drivers, and sho

    Nymph-the-scribe • 5h Not yo mention the whole "how dare you scream when hot coffee was spilled on you" thing. Keep the cheesecake, dump the bf. Someone who cares so little about anyone but themselves, especially the person that's supposed to be in love with you, isn't someone worth your time, energy, or love.

    ParsimoniousSalad • 15h His Holiness the [1155] NTA and I would rethink the boyfriend if he cares more about people potentially getting a glimpse of your chest than about the fact that your back was just burned.

    EDIT: honestly he should have tried to get you another shirt to wear. If the restaurant didn't have any of their mech at the store (there are CCF shirts), maybe one of you had a sweater in the car, or he might have checked to see if there was a store open nearby to go buy one. He could have been the hero and saved the day! Reply 6.7k

    sailor_moon_knight • 15h Seriously! Probably at least half the servers and cooks had a spare shirt stashed away somewhere on themselves, because it in case of spilling does happen.

    (One time in college chem lab I spilled some medium concentrated hydrochloric acid on myself and had to drop trou right there in front of God and everybody. Nobody had spare pants so I gave my lab partner my wallet and asked her to run to the campus bookstore and buy the cheapest sweatpants she could find, plus a snack or something for herself in exchange. She thought it was a fair deal Imao) ... 1.4k

    NTA sailor_moon_knight • 15h Whipping off the affected clothes is honestly what you're supposed to do when you get hot liquid on you. You wanna get that away from your skin ASAP; a few seconds can absolutely make the difference between a first and second or second and third degree burn. Nobody tried to call the cops on you for indecent exposure so clearly everybody else understood that taking your shirt off wasn't inappropriate in context. And frankly after getting hot coffee spilled on you, you

    Nikkian42 14h Aficionado [11] I spilled hot tea on my lap at work a few years ago and couldn't strip for several minutes until I could get to the bathroom. Even though the temperature wasn't close to boiling the delay resulted in a burn that was close to being a 2nd degree burn. Stripping off a top is absolutely necessary in a situation like this.

    Edit to add: by way of comparison I burned my chin when I accidentally dipped it into a cup of hot tea. The tea was hotter then and the burn less serious. (It was also shaped like a heart.) 4.6k

    Conscious_Hotel_5538 • 15h Aficionado [13] NTA your bf was more concerned with HIM being embarrassed? Wth, your attitude towards the whole thing was spot on, other people's opinions are their problem, don't live your life according to how people MIGHT be thinking of you. Definitely not worth leaving some cheesecake over. You may want to consider being with someone less insecure and self centred. Reply 734

    PatchworkGirl82 • 15h NTA. Was he not at all concerned about possible burns at least? Hot coffee can do a lot more damage than people think it can (look at the real story of the old lady who was burned by McDonald's coffee) Reply 535

    Steffany_w0525 • 15h This is why yoga pants weren't allowed at Starbucks. When I'd do the orientation I was like they aren't not allowed because they make your look good. They aren't allowed because if you spill coffee on yourself they'll melt to your leg and that's not cute. 215

    Technical-Steak6535 OP. 14h My back was really red and some minor burns, half of the cup went down my back and half hit my chair/the floor. My bf had a zip up with him, I went to the bathroom to clean up and look at my back and just put his jacket on. 353

    Indigo Rose2022 • 14h "He told me... he can't believe I would choose a piece of cheesecake over his comfortability". for a I mean, he'd rather you get burned by scalding hot coffee than accidentally flash your moment. He put his "oh no, your wellbeing. So, there's that. NTA. !" freakout over Reply 1.8k
