Our vegetarian heroine finds herself in a pickle when her BBQ-loving boyfriend insists on celebrating his birthday at a Korean BBQ joint. Despite her offer to pay for the dinner and her gentle reminder about her dietary restrictions, he remains adamant. The only vegetarian options on the menu are rice, soup, and spring rolls fried in peanut oil – a no-go due to her nut allergy. She bravely proposes a pancake breakfast instead, but this leaves her boyfriend disappointed and distant. Despite the silent treatment, she remains concerned about her health and the risk of cross-contamination. So, is she right to stand her ground, or should she cave for the sake of love? Let’s see what the internet thinks about this tasty tangle!

“ESH because you two are not communicating.
You realistically expected him to consider your needs when choosing a restaurant because to two are in a relationship and you assumed he would want it to be completely enjoyable for the two of you.
He realistically picked the restaurant he really wanted because he assumed your gift was to let him have night out with you and his friends that he wouldn’t have otherwise.
Most Korean BBQs in my area have minimal veggies with no way to cook them outside of the main cooking area. Even if this restaurant had more stir fry options you can’t use their oil. And depending on the severity of your allergy, I’d be wary of eating anything due to the high chance of cross contamination. So I understand why this doesn’t appeal to you.
On the other hand, by inviting his friends you made this into a social night out instead of a date for the two of you. It’s not ridiculous to simply enjoy the company for one night.
You two may need to check in with each other on what your expectations are in this relationship. Neither is wrong, but both are making assumptions about boundaries and expectations.”
