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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Why is everyone calling the boyfriend a jerk for wanting to dine at his favorite restaurant every now and then? Should his girlfriend's whims control his life now? Didn't you notice the part where he's clearly making up for taking her to a seafood place by offering to pay for everything? Surely Red Lobster has more than just seafood.

He's a jerk because he obviously knew she was allergic to seafood thus not going to be ordering the most expensive food creating the end result of him probably paying for the price of one rather than two.

So he's a jerk because he doesn't have to pay for the most expensive thing on the menu? In that case I'd say the girl was a jerk for expecting to get the most expensive thing on the menu, thus taking advantage of the boyfriend's offer.

No, he's a jerk for taking her to a place where she's allergic to almost everything on the menu. Yes, Red Lobster has other items, but if the OP is allergic to seafood, she might not even be able to be around it. Lots of people have food allergies that don't even let them SMELL the type of food they're allergic too. Also, those other menu items are not cooked in separate kitchens and could very well be contaminated. If the OP was to tell the waitress she was allergic, they would have to clean the whole kitchen and probably only cook her meal before they could get to someone else's. The OP's boyfriend is a jerk for not considering this. It is nice that he wanted to take her out to his favourite restaurant, but he should have considered that she could have a reaction just being there.

seriously? she can sit through a meal without eating for him. it's not like it's season tickets to his favorite football team or something. and I'm sure he knows how allergic she is and knew she could eat something there. this is just not that horrific.

93 - You are assuming the boyfriend had bad intentions. Seriously? What, do you really think he intended to kill his girlfriend by having an allergy? So she tells him she can't even be near seafood and that's it, the guy made the mistake of assuming she could and he can now learn from that mistake - he can just eat his favorite food later with someone else. I think it's more obvious to assume he had good intentions, seeing as he offered beforehand to pay for her food. OP's boyfriend might have had a serious lapse of judgement, but he is most definitely not a jerk for it.

"Guys have a bad memory"????? I have NEVER seen a study proving that there is a correlation between memory span and gender.

I'm not a seafood person so I can sort of relate. Tell him he's an asshole and order the most expensive thing you can eat and dessert.
