Woman Puts Entitled Man-Baby On Blast For Having A Meltdown About Not Going Out To Eat
May 21, 2024
I went out on what was probably a third date with this guy, and he decided we were going to go to Red Lobster, even though I had told him countless times since we started talking that I don't eat meat. I let it slide because I liked him. Then, when the waiter brought around those cheddar biscuits, this guy asked me to put them all in my purse so he could eat them later and the waiter would bring us more.
Weird, right? But hey, at least he paid.

Teonna was messaging the man she had been seeing, making some dinner plans that were a bit different than the ones they had made earlier that day, which was to go out for dinner.

She told him up-front that she knew he wanted to go out, but after paying her bills and getting groceries that day, she didn't feel she was in a place to spend money on taking him out.

Instead of being understanding and being grateful that she was willing to cook for him, he literally started having a meltdown, blowing up her phone with his self-righteous foolishness about "his level."

He Was Not Impressed

Ladies, let me ask you something. Would you let a man stay in your life who was going to defame your character just because you were a little tight until next payday and couldn't take him out?

He Literally Would Not Stop

"You're not where I'm at physically, mentally, spiritually, or financially." Boy, PLEASE! If that were even remotely true, you could buy your own dinner, and you wouldn't be carrying on like this.

Then He Basically Told Her It Was Over

Imagine someone telling you that you just aren't cut out to be on his level? Also, can we talk about his health? Red Lobster four times a week? That doesn't seem right.

Like, Is He Done Yet?

Needless to say, after he had his big long temper tantrum, she didn't quite know what to say. The thing is, someone like that isn't going to change, are they? He'll never see reason.

Thankfully, they hadn't been seeing each other for very long, and the relationship hadn't crossed over into serious dating yet. She explained that asking someone if they're hungry is something she would ask anyone.

Turns Out This Isn't The First Time He's Been Shady

This little meltdown seems to have just been the straw that broke the camel's back, because according to Teonna, this isn't the first thing he's done that's rubbed her the wrong way.

We've all got our own stuff going on, but we shouldn't lay that all on someone else basically asking them without asking that they pay for our bills and take us out.

Who Was Saying She Deserved It?

Whoever was telling her that she deserved it is seriously insane, because even though she did change the plans, she didn't deserve to be laid into like that. There is no reason to talk to another person that way.

Maybe there is a lesson to be learned here, but whatever that was doesn't even matter anymore because he had to be such a jerk about all of this, you know?

Things Got Worse

To make matters worse, he decided that he was going to take to Facebook to try and defend himself, which you can imagine is just a bunch of unpunctuated garbage.

It Was A Lot To Take In

It's actually wild to me that he thought he was justifiable in acting out the way that he did. There were lots of people in the comments trying to decide what his sign was...they mostly agreed on him being a Scorpio.

People Also Started Having A Bit Of Fun

It does have to be asked, how did he end up being this way? Like, was he born this way, or was this something that he learned along the way?

You know you messed up when Chrissy Teigen, the actual queen of Twitter, got herself involved and was nice enough to inquire about his health. Maybe mercury poisoning explains his attitude?

"When we went out to dinner for the first time, I told him I was vegan when ordering my dish and he just kind of went "oh, cool" and started talking about something else. "

Her vegan diet never really came up again after that.

She Never Actively Tried To Hide That She Was Making Plant-Based Dishes
Even though she and John never openly discussed her dietary preferences again, each time he came to her house for lunch or dinner she prepared plant-based meals for the two of them.

OP adds "I've never tried to actively hide this from him."

At this point, he's starting to seem a little aloof. It's also clear he wasn't helping prepare any meals.
