Today, I came home from a long day at work to find a path of rose pedals from the front door. Gasping with surprise, I followed it past the living room... past the bedroom... into the kitchen, where there was a note that said "Friends coming over tonight, we need food, love you!" FML

my husband tried to pull that shit on me once: Oh I invited some friends over so we need to get some more food. When he said "we" he really meant: I invited my friends over so I expect you to cook for them and clean up afterwards. What ever. He can cook for his own friends. I don't expect him to do that if I have my friends over our house.

Don't get any food -- just lay naked on your bed with your legs spread wide, and when everyone comes over, yell "Tuna tacos for everyone!" On second thought, you can buy a massive amount of Vienna Sausages and tell everyone that they are actual size replicas of your husband's dick. That'll show him!

Couldn't he buy take out food instead of roses to shred?

are you serious? YDI, I wish I had a boyfriend that thoughtful. so what if he's asking you to cook instead of asking you to f***, he was still being creative and thoughful and all sorts of adorable. if he does this, he probably does lots of other sweet things too. get over yourself.

It's obviously on FML because she did not think it was adorable. He'd be better off with a girlfriend like you, so he could be a lazy ass all day, and you wouldn't question it when he asked you to "make him a sammich".

also, I agree with one of the above posters - you can look at it two ways. sure, you could be disappointed, even mad that he expects you to make food. or you could look at it as the sweetest way ever to ask someone for a favor. I know which way I'd look at it.

YDI. He finds a nice way to ask for a favor, and you spit it back in his face. Quit being a bitch.

Where in the note did he ask for a favor? He didn't ask for anything. He EXPECTED her to just run out and get him and his friends food or cook for them.

Love how no one seems to get that she expect him to have prepared a romantic evening for the two of them, but was instead simply told "I invited people without telling you. Get us food, bitch!". I'm going to assume most of the commenters here are male.

Thats her own fault for reading too many romance novels and having unrealistic expectations. Every time a guy does something different it doesn't mean he wants sex. He wanted to ask a favor, and found a nice way to do it. And where in the note did it say bitch? I guess because it didn't shower her with endless praise it obviously implied bitch, right? I guess he forgot women are emotionally frail and need constant compliments to function. Also, since he wasn't there it might be a good assumption that he works longer (or later) than she does, did that thought ever cross your mind?

Actually, Im a female. It was still a sweet, thoughtful way to ask.

RuralNinja, since you're a person against inferring things, where in the note does he ask her anything? It sounds more like he expected her to get or make food. "We need food," not "Can you grab us some food? Thanks." I think rose petals are a nice touch, but it's perfectly justified for the OP to come home from a long day of work and be disappointed if not upset that her boyfriend invited people over and expected her to provide them with food. It's funny how in the FML where a girl wakes up early to make french toast for her boyfriend, everyone backs the boyfriend up for bitching at her about having to wash the dishes.

RuralNinja: It wasn't her fault for expecting a romantic evening. He's the one that left rose petals everywhere. If I was to ask you to wash my clothes and decided to wrap them up and put a bow on top, who's fault is it if you expect a present? He didn't ask her for a favour. That would of involved calling her/talking to her and asking her politely if she good please get some food. Didn't happen.

#47 win. Also, idkweird is NOT female. Morons with no brain have no gender anyway, they're in the same group with the amoebas etc.
