    Update: AITA for refusing to cook after my BF tried to "critique" my cooking with a literal PowerPoint presentation?
  • 02
    Hey, Reddit! So, it's been a wild ride since I posted my original story about my (now ex) boyfriend's infamous PowerPoint presentation critiquing my cooking. I can't thank you enough for all the support, laughs, and even the outrage on my behalf. Buckle up, because here's the follow-up you didn't know you needed.

    After reading your comments and taking some time to process what happened, I decided that our relationship needed a serious talk. I sat him down to discuss how his presentation came across as not just unfunny, but pretty disrespectful. You know, typical mature relationship stuff.
  • 04
    Well, what does he do? He smirks and goes, "Oh, I was prepared for this!" He actually grabs his laptop, connects it to the TV again, and presents me with another PowerPoint titled "How to Take a Joke: A Comprehensive Guide."
  • 05
    Yes, folks, he made a whole slideshow explaining why I needed to learn how to "chill out" and "appreciate humor." Slide 1 featured a meme of a clown putting on makeup with my name plastered over it. Slide 2? A bullet point list titled, "Why Your Overreaction is Hilarious." Slide 3 was titled, "How I'm Clearly the Comedian in this Relationship."

    At this point, I was too stunned to speak. But then he pulled out Slide 6: "Things You Can Do While Not Cooking (Because You're Mad)." The audacity, right? It was as if he really thought he'd win me over with this next-level presentation. Spoiler alert: he did not.

    So, I did what any rational, PowerPoint-loving person would do. I made my own. I stayed up all night crafting a presentation called "Why It's Time to Move On: A Farewell Guide." It had everything: flowcharts mapping his incompetence in the kitchen, pie charts illustrating my happiness

    before and after "The Great Presentation Debacle," and my personal favorite-Slide 9, a GIF of Gordon Ramsay yelling: „GET OUT!" This morning, I sat him down and went through my PowerPoint with the same energy he had given me.
  • 09
    His reaction was priceless. He started with that same smirk but lost it somewhere around Slide 4: "Top Ten Reasons You're Moving Out Today." By the time I got to the "Resources for Finding Your Own Apartment" slide, he was packing a bag.

    Now, before anyone worries, yes, he did actually leave. And no, I didn't even have to threaten him with Slide 12, which was just a photo of me blocking the Wi-Fi router.

    So, yeah, we broke up, and I'm single, happy, and cooking meals for myself without any critique except my cat's judgmental stare. And to those who said I should make a "breakup PowerPoint," just know your wish has been fulfilled...

    I still can't believe how all of this went down over the course of one single weekend. But I now feel pretty good about myself. Thanks for all of your comments and support!

    PS: Oh, and fun fact, some of you were right: he actually is a business consultant, so making PowerPoint presentations is quite literally his day job. I guess he took "bringing work home" to a whole new, unwelcome level..

    Any_Pollution38... . 21h ago I'm not sure if this wasn't the outcome he wanted originally, given his behavior.
