Today, I realized just how spoiled and immature my boyfriend is when I asked him several times what he’d like for dinner. Getting no answer, I made steak, potatoes and salad. He then sulked and refused to eat it, since he wanted spaghetti and meatballs instead. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my boyfriend came home and demanded dinner. I started suggesting things, but he threw out that we should just fend for ourselves. I made pasta and offered him some, but he decided to throw a fit and go to bed at 6:30pm without dinner. He then woke up at 9 to complain he was hungry, then slept on the couch. FML
Today, my boyfriend is pissed at me and went so far as to equate it to cheating that I went out to eat with some friends. I’d love to go to a restaurant with him but he refuses to eat anything other than beef, cheese, white bread, and chicken nuggets. That man has the palate of a 4 year-old. FML
Today, my boyfriend scolded me for asking whether he’d like his favorite soup for lunch when he was, "in absolutely no shape to survive ingesting food." Two hours later he's greedily digging into an almost expired pack of cheap and nasty supermarket waffles from out of his bag. FML
Today, my idiot boyfriend, who thinks he's an outdoorsman, made sauce from mushrooms he'd foraged. I refused to eat it. He got upset and had two helpings. He's now in bed, whining about how bad he feels. Stupid dumbass. FML
Today, I made broccoli and peas with dinner. My girlfriend pouted, sulked, and refused to eat "yucky veggies", demanding fries or chips. Apparently, I'm dating a fucking toddler. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend complaining that I’m lazy since I never cook for him. I stopped cooking for him because he constantly complained that the food was never as good as what his ex-wife made, or like his mom made. FML
Today, my fiancé yelled at me after I got off the phone with my friends, because I said I hadn't felt this happy and hadn't laughed this much in a long time. He was also mad that I didn't cook him dinner. He didn't ask me to cook dinner for him. He then told me to go somewhere else if I'm not happy with him. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend if he wanted me to get him some take out. He responded with, "I think we should see other people. Uh, chicken please." FML
Today, my boyfriend made a mess eating spaghetti. Yes, he is older than 5. FML
Today, my boyfriend has a freezer full of his favorite dish, which I cooked for him, yet he is subsisting on chocolate and those pathetic ready-made sandwiches from the supermarket. Why? Thawing and heating up a meal is too much trouble when I’m not there to do it for him. FML

His behavior is most likely not going to improve with time. People that immature tend to have that immaturity as a personality trait. Consider leaving the relationship before it gets harder to do so. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. Not only is he immature, he’s ungrateful and takes you for granted. He should have praised the awesome dinner you made. You deserve better.

That’s when you take his plate away and tell him. To make it himself otherwise there bread and peanut butter in the kitchen. Then you just stop making dinner for him

So one time my middle son decided he didn't want to eat what the rest of us were having (He picked this up from his spoiled cousin). So I asked him if he wanted Spaghetti instead. Sensing victory he said "Yeah make me spaghetti", looking as smug as a 12yo can. So I boiled up some ramen noodles, covered them in Catsup, slapped it in front of him and said "I said I'd make you Spaghetti, I didn't say I'd make you GOOD Spaghetti." Made him eat every bit of it. It stayed in his gut for about 10 minutes. Man-child needs some Spaghetti.

Great, and he can now start cooking for himself.

My ex bf used to be a horrifically picky eater as a kid/teenager. As soon as he turned like 12 or 13 his mom stopped cooking for him if he wasn't going to eat the family meal. So he made his own food almost all the time since then.

I feel like this is fine honestly. One of the things I've seen other parents do that never made sense to was assign ages to certain foods. "Oh well the only reason my kid doesn't like (x) food is because they're a kid" Nope the kid is now an adult and they still don't like that food. Because shocker they don't like that food. If the parents are constantly making meals that the kid doesn't like and both sides are cool with the kid making their own meals that seems like a perfectly good arrangement. As I got older I took over a lot of my own stuff. Doing my own laundry, cleaning my own room, washing my own dishes. By the time I moved out on my own I had all of the skills necessary to maintain my own apartment.

Straight up this is beyond spoiled. This is passive aggressive abusive douche baggery. When a child does this it's spoiled when an adult does this they know better. My ex-best friend did this kind of bullshit to my current best friend AKA his ex-girlfriend. He'd purposefully do this kind of shit and then act like she was the one that ****** up.

Took you this long to realize it?

I hope you didn’t cook him spaghetti and meatballs just to make him happy, I do really hope that you made him cook it himself because you worked hard on making delicious steak, mashed potatoes and salads for both of you and he flipping rejects it!

Sounds like he can make his own dinner or eat what you cooked.
