Today, my boyfriend told me he was taking me out to eat to his favorite restaurant. He said I could order whatever I wanted and he'd pay for it. He took me to Red Lobster, knowing full well that I'm allergic to seafood. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I made my boyfriend a beautiful dinner of seafood and rice. This was the first time I could afford lobster, and thought it would be a great treat for us both. I learned that this was the first time he has eaten lobster, and he learned that he is allergic. FML
Today, my family picked a place for my birthday dinner. They chose a seafood restaurant. I'm allergic. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend out to dinner to an expensive restaurant. He overate, and now I have to nurse him through food poisoning. FML
Today, while at a party, my boyfriend threw a temper tantrum. He screamed at me and then gave me the silent treatment. All because I said, "No thank you" to the crab dip he got for me. I'm allergic to shellfish, we've been dating for two years and it's come up before. FML
Today, I went out to eat with a group of couples and my boyfriend. All my friends boyfriends paid for them. Mine didn't, and said that I should order off the diet menu. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I met online. He took me to a restaurant where I was allergic to practically everything on the menu. I sneezed five or six times within the first 15 minutes and spent the rest of the lunch awkwardly trying to explain I wasn't allergic to him, just the food and spices floating around us. FML
Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

they have other things on the menu. stop being a whiney little bitch. he said HIS favorite restaurant. not yours. relationships are full of compromise, it's not like you're a vegetarian and he drug you to a steak house. but even there they still have salad. rust be glad he took you out in public. or that he even puts up with your selfish ass.

That's one mean-ass joke...

has anyone thought that maybe, just maybe, Red Lobster's non-seafood dishes come into contact with seafood. even though there are other items on the menu at Red Lobster, it doesn't mean the OP can eat any of it. red lobster is one of my personal favorites, but we have to avoid it because a family member is allergic to seafood, not just shellfish, and the slightest contact of his dish to seafood causes allergic reaction.

This is why you inform your server of a food allergy. They have to make sure that what your food is prepped on is free of the allergen. Simple as that.

I can't believe no one noticed she says she's going to eat the restaurant... You people disappoint me.

It's not so much that her bf took her to a seafood restaurant despite there being other things on the menu; is it possible that the worst part is that he forgot that you're allergic to seafood? Maybe he just didn't connect the dots. Kinda sucks for you though OP. Limited meal choice, and a moderate chance that the non-seafood meal you do order has been into contact with seafood, thus causing an allergic reaction. Hope your bf didn't book a reservation, so you can tell him... FYL

You should have ordered the most expensive plate there and just left it untouched. Make the bastard pay. FYL

I spent this weekend at various seafood restaurants with someone who is severely allergic to shellfish (as in, if he touches a plate that has had shellfish on it, he has a bad reaction), each time because someone besides him wanted to get seafood. Did he complain? Not once. He ordered things that didn't have shellfish, was careful about touching other people's plates, and enjoyed the meals and company. It sucks to have a food allergy (I have one as well), but you can't expect people to change things like their favorite restaurant to accommodate you. Should he have forewarned you and asked your opinion? Probably. But, you you need to be willing to roll with the punches. If you want to stay with this guy, you have to deal with the fact that he's going to want shellfish and to go to Red Lobster from time to time.
