I think my boyfriend and I might have to break up over a Pad Thai.
By @elliekk · Relationships
He ate my leftovers. But it's not about the food, it's about the pure, unadulterated disrespect.
The full story
I am not exaggerating when I say this was the thing I was looking forward to all day. I had leftover Pad Thai from my favorite place, and I literally wrote "MINE - DO NOT EAT!!!" on the lid in giant letters. I came home from work, opened the fridge, and it was gone. Just an empty space where my joy used to be. I asked my boyfriend, and he just goes, "Oh yeah, I got hungry. Sorry." SORRY? And then! And THEN he says, "I can just order you another one." As if that's the point! The betrayal is what I can't get over.
