Despite going back and forth with their FMIL beforehand, they arrived to find no options available for them. The poster ultimately decided to leave, causing a rift in their relationship with their fiancé and his family. Was the poster in the wrong for leaving or was their reaction justified?

A guest walks out of a Christmas dinner after the in-laws refused to accommodate their dietary needs, causing a rift in the family. The guest had informed their FMIL about their dietary restrictions and offered to bring their own dish or suggested alternative dishes, but the offer was declined. Upon arriving at the dinner, the host family served no accommodations, causing the guest to leave. The fiancé and FMIL were shocked and accused the guest of being selfish and ruining the holiday. The guest’s work schedule made it difficult to cook and they only requested one simple option. Is it the guest’s responsibility to feed themselves when invited as a guest? Or should the host family accommodate their dietary needs? The situation has caused a rift in the family and is causing a debate on what is expected when accommodating guests with dietary restrictions.
