I was invited to a friends’ wedding and I’m bringing my girlfriend along. It’s in a week. She just noticed the dietary request on the invitation forum and freaked out at me for not requesting it be gluten free. She started crying and saying “I guess I won’t eat anything I guess I’ll just starve to death!!!” Because she’s celiac. I told her I’m sure there will be non-gluten stuff there and if there wasn’t I wouldn’t want to be a wedge in a 200-person wedding and make them change their plans just for her…. Since it’s a big wedding.I don’t know if I’m the asshole or not because on one hand she is my girlfriend but on the other hand I would feel like such a pain in the ass if I ask a wedding host who’s having 200 people to change their entire catering just so one person can have gluten free stuff
They explicitly asked for dietary restrictions and you consciously decided not to fill it out. Yes anon, you are the asshole.
>>33797483That’s a default thing in wedding forums, you’re a complete nutjob and so is OPs girlfriend
fundamentally, your gf gf (get it? lol) is not mad at you because there's no food she can eat, she is mad at you because you made no effort to protect her just to not challenge the status quo.you could have taken initiative and asked if they would change the entire catering based on one request, or if they could create a personalized meal just for her without causing issues for other guests, or if they would have accommodations, etc.i got diagnosed with celiacs a few months back and this diet is a pain ass to keep up with in modern times (basically no fast food ever again) but i'm a guy so i just accept that i have to deal with it myself. as an aside, i'm curious how you handle dating someone with celiacs.
>>33797457how fucking fat is she that she can't skip one meal??? kek
>>33797682She’s overweight but not obese
>>33797457 I won't read insufferable cowards who will do anything to not rock the boat socially while neglecting their implied duty to protect those in their care. Yes, OP, your gf might someday be your wife and that's the obligation that you as a man (ha!) take on.
>>33797457Tell her you’re sorry buy her flowers get her drunk and fuck her brains out.
>>33797457Dodge a bullet and dump your girlfriend instead of eventually marrying her.
>>33797457Her tantrum was a bit stupid but your inaction is also stupidThey can just add 1 gf meal, that doesn't change the rest of the 200 person catering God you're daft
>>33797457So, there was a space on the form asking you if you had any dietary requirements. And you filled it in saying "no" even though your girlfriend has Coeliac Disease? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for someone with Coeliac to eat gluten? Honestly "asshole" doesn't even begin to cover what you are, you're so much worse than that! I hope she dumps your ass. t. man who understands how serious Coeliac is.
>>33797457With a week to go there is time to put in a late request for a special meal with minimum inconvenience for them. But don't put it off
>>33797457In 200 guests there must be some other glutten free fags out thereGive them a call dumass
>>33797483/thread>>33797541What a dumb thing to say, they literally asked, and you literally chose to prioritize a highly theoretical burden of effort (assuming there is not a single other person with some food restriction.....) over the fact that your girl wont able to eat.Probably a troll post, like 99% of this retarded board, so it's not like any damage was done.
>>33797682>expecting someone to not eat anything at a wedding>for no reason>thinking the problem of the situation is about "not being able to deal with discomfort"Borderline retarded or troll, call it.
>>33799185You’re a whiner who would throw a fit over nothing. You aren’t a man you’re a whiner
>>33800879>>33800876These are bait posts
>does your gf have dietary restrictions?>hmm... she's celiac>[ ] yes [x] noYes, you are a retarded asshole and actively inconveniencing both the organizers and your gf with your ineptitude
>>33801338You’re incredibly disgusting for wanting to throw off an entire event
>>33797457It is truly astounding how bad at basic psychology most people are.You asked her to MARRY YOU.This is a HUGE deal.You are asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you. Tensions are high. A natural thought is "is this a mistake?" and this thought happens because of the pressure. You just showed her that you care more about social perceptions and being a fucking doormat under the guise of being accomodating and this has validated her (again: natural) doubts about spending her life with you.This would be like if she went behind your back and made all of the food gluten free. You would think to yourself "can I really spend my life with such a controlling bitch?". Of course it isn't a big deal if you look at the surface level play by play, but symbolically this is dire. It isn't about the food you just shower your FUTURE WIFE that you do not prioritise her. And no, I am not a hole I just speak the language quite fluently exactly because I want to avoid being henpecked and yelled at. Apologise you STUPID motherfucker or just call it off and start over with someone else. Fuck.
>>33801355Okay I misread the op, it is your friends wedding in that case you are even more retarded and the implications are still applicable.
>>33797457Say listen bitch, Lets pack along a nice and fancy gluten free fucking meal just for you in a small cooler and I'll mention to "friends wedding fren" that this meal is just for you. Say to this person that my GF can't eat the stuff at your wedding and I didn't want to put you out and be a pain in the ass so we got this ourselves for her. But I want to eat what you're having because I'm not my bitchy GF. Everybody wins.
>>33797457just give her some nuts, and cheese. Fat cow could use this as a reason to start low carb
