Today, I went out to lunch with my girlfriend. I asked if she was going to finish her meal, hoping to steal a bite or two. She somehow took this as me calling her fat, threw her drink at me, and stormed off. I just wanted some steak. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my girlfriend out for lunch, and I asked her if I could have a bite of her meal. She took it to mean I was calling her fat, and stormed out. FML
Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML
Today, my girlfriend threw a bitch fit about her clothes not fitting and how she’s “so fat” to the point of storming out of the house when I asked her to please calm down. Just a couple of hours earlier, we'd ordered food and she ordered a salad, then asked to trade my burger and fries with her. FML
Today, my girlfriend is mentally unhinged. She had a full on temper tantrum and ranted about healthy eating, and how she’s “fat” and needs to lose 30 pounds, all because I suggested Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. She stormed out of the house. I later ran into her at a local pizza place, devouring a pizza. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were out to dinner. She had to use the bathroom, so she went, but the food came while she was in there. She came out, yelling at me for ordering the food to come that exact time, then she broke up with me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a restaurant we both like. By the end of the date, we were fighting and she angrily broke up with me. To make things worse, I got food poisoning. She didn't. FML
Today, I was eating a fancy dinner with my girlfriend at a restaurant. Suddenly, my ex-girlfriend, who was seemingly still angry after our breakup 2 years ago, saw me through the window. She walked in, took my spaghetti dinner, shoved it in my face, and stormed out. FML
Today, I went to eat with my girlfriend, her parents and my mother. My mother complained about every aspect of the service. When I told her she needed to assert herself, she took her pocketbook and hit me over the head. The whole restaurant stared at us while she yelled "Is that assertive enough?" FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with a girl I really liked. She started crying when an overweight family walked in and loudly sobbed about how the parents were "murdering" their children. This made the father of that family try to fight me. FML
Today, my girlfriend had a bitch fit because I snatched a couple of her fries for myself. She regularly raids my snacks, takes food off my plate, and has even stolen my work lunches, but a couple of fries is too much to ask. FML

Maybe next time you can tell her you want a bite because you're hungry?

Don't even try to understand women OP because trust me, you never will. I've perfected the surprised owl look just through practice from every time I say something innocent and my SO reads something completely different into it. Hopefully you got the chance to explain what you meant after she calmed down later.

Next time, ask if you can steal a bite or two because you want some steak:) no need to complicate anythin'

Women are very sensitive about their weight. And societies expectation for women to be thin and beautiful is often unrealistic. Why on earth did you not just ask her if you can try some of her food. You need to communicate more with your girlfriend. YDI

It doesn't matter. Mature adults don't just assume they're being insulted and throw drinks in their significant other's face. It's incredibly rude. Could OP have expressed himself better, yes of course, but that doesn't give his girlfriend any right to be so immature about it.

if 32 wants to blame the OP and have a girlfriend that thinks its exceptable to THROW DRINKS at someone over something so wronly assumed (come on, it sounded like he was hungry, she way overthought it) then you can surround yourself with people like that because there are other girls out there who are respectful. i dont see how her actions can be justified at all, based on what OP tells us.

dude, u really should've just asked for a bite of her steak. Clearly just say u want to try some, most won't care. YDI for not communicating.

So ... he deserved to have a drink tossed at him and possibly humiliated in public due to a presumptuous inference? Nice logic. She's just throwing an infantile bitch fit over something innocuous. If she truly wanted to "communicate," she would have done just that instead of running away like a 5-year-old.

Ask for a bite...but after she left did you finish her meal or get some steak out of it?

#42 How do you know it was free? OP might have paid for it himself.

All the commenters saying, "Just ask for a bite next time," no. Absolutely do not do this. If OP's (or whoever's) girlfriend (or boyfriend wanted to share, she would've offered a bite! If you really want to try an item off a menu at a restaurant that isn't family-style or a tapas bar, order it your own damn self. Taking your dining partner's food is really rude.

okay? so what if you want to TRY the food, you cant have a single bite to see if you may enjoy it? instead you have to order a whole meal, pay for it, and have a chance of not liking it? after waiting for it to be cooked? after you have already selected a meal? get off your high horse, OP did not just take it, he asked for a bite of it.

There is absolutely no harm in asking, "Is it good? Let me try a bite." My ex and I used to try each other's food every time we went out.

It depends on what they do with your food. My ex would always pick food off my plate without asking for some while I tried to eat, and it would piss me off to no end. It's even worse when you buy a plate of food, and your significant other sees it as a free-for-all buffet. It's one thing to ask for a bite of food if you're wondering how it tastes, but when your date keeps stealing something from your plate that you intend to eat (especially without asking for a sample first), it's an annoying and automatic turn-off. It just seems rude to me to ask for food from someone else's plate, unless, of course, you ask, "Could I try a little bit of yours? I'm curious," or your date suddenly is full or falls ill, refuses to eat it, and offers the rest to you. There was no excuse for OP's girlfriend to go crazy about it and throw drink everywhere, but if someone asks me if I'm going to finish a meal with full intent on finishing it, I say, "Yep! It's tasty; in fact, you should order it next time!" I wouldn't offer it unless they flat-out asked for some; I don't play runaround when it comes to food.
