Woman Considers Ending Her Marriage Over a Bowl of Spaghetti
A woman shared that she's considering ending things with her wife over a bowl of spaghetti
The woman says it's less about the spaghetti and more about not feeling considered in her relationship
People online told her that she needs to communicate with her wifeA bowl of spaghetti may be "the straw that broke the camel's back" for one couple.
On Reddit, a 35-year-old woman revealed that she's considering leaving her 34-year-old wife over a not-so-simple pasta dinner.
The woman began her post by noting that she and her wife "usually cook separately." While the poster prefers meal prepping so she doesn't have to cook during the week, her wife likes to cook fresh meals every night, as she doesn't like eating the same meal consecutively.
"Occasionally, we'll make dinner and eat together, but it's just not often," the Redditor writes.
However, before dinner one night, the woman told her wife that she was "going to heat up some frozen fish" and asked if she wanted any, which she did.
The poster then went for a 30-minute walk and planned on cooking when she got home, as neither of them was hungry yet. When she came back, she saw her wife was making spaghetti.
"She said she was starting to get hungry, so started cooking," she writes. "I just assumed she was making some for both of us, since I was going to make something for her."
However, her assumption was incorrect.

"She literally made a single plate of spaghetti for just herself," the poster writes. "I don't even know how you do that. Any time I make pasta, I always end up with way more than I thought."
Despite feeling "really hurt and uncared for," the poster didn't say anything and convinced herself that she was just "being overdramatic." However, a week has passed, and it's "still bothering" her.
"I'm realizing this event is really just a metaphor for our whole relationship," the woman shares. "Stuff like this happens all the time and this is just the straw that broke the camels back."
The woman then asked Reddit if she is "being too dramatic" about the situation. Most commenters suggested she may be blowing things out of proportion and encouraged her to communicate with her wife.
"That seems annoying, but you're overreacting if it's not part of a pattern of behaviour. Talk to her," one person commented, to which the poster replied, reiterating, "No, it totally is part of a pattern, it's the straw that broke the camel's back kind of thing."
Another person wrote, "I think you may be overreacting to the situation, but it sounds like you guys have deeper issues. Maybe try to steer the relationship towards more intimacy and partnership. But if the status quo is you are each responsible for your own food usually and you expressed you wanted fish, left, and she ended up hungry and making herself food. I don't see being upset about it."

Wedding Guests Were ‘Offended' by Their Seating Chart Placements — So They Stormed Out
"We couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be," the groom wrote as he shared the story on RedditNEED TO KNOW After their nuptials, a bride and groom were looking through their wedding photos and were surprised to notice that two of their guests did not appear in any of them Then, they found out that the two guests left the wedding because they were "offended" by their seating arrangements at the reception dinner The groom, who shared the story on Reddit, said he "couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be"After their nuptials, a bride and groom were looking through their wedding photos and were surprised to notice that two of their guests were not featured in any of them. Then, they learned the truth. In a post on Reddit's "Wedding Shaming" forum, the groom explained that the guests' absence all came down to the couple's carefully planned seating chart. He said that when he and his wife were planning their event, they "spent a lot of time on where guests were seated and who they were seated with." "We wanted to make sure everyone felt welcomed and got to enjoy the social aspects of our wedding — and not just be there to celebrate us," he noted. "We also worked closely with our parents because a lot of guests at the wedding were their friends and family, and we wanted people to meet and get along." A few weeks after the wedding, as they were viewing their photos, the groom mentioned to his mother, "Oh, I don't seem to see any photos of Wife A and Husband A at the reception, but they're clearly there during the ceremony.' His mother was equally puzzled — until she received a phone call from Wife A, who explained the situation. As it turns out, she and her husband were "offended" by where the bride and groom put them on the seating chart and who they were seated with, so they decided to bail on the wedding. "We had put them at a table with friends of theirs, and people who we thought they'd get along with from a professional standpoint," the groom pointed out in his post. He also noted that the two guests have been family friends "for a long time," and that he and his wife even hosted their daughter's bridal shower at their home. "And then the audacity for them to not only leave our wedding reception where we paid for their plates, but also call my mom, let her know they did that, and also not leave a gift," the groom wrote. While the groom said he and his wife quickly shrugged off the unfortunate incident — "luckily, the wedding was beautiful and everyone loved it" — he admitted that they "couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be." In the comments section, readers appeared to be equally shocked over the two guests' decision to leave the wedding due to their seating arrangements. "There are some people who go through life being offended by the most inane things," one person wrote. "I don't get it," another commenter chimed in. "When did wedding guests start forgetting that the wedding day is about the people getting married and not them?"

Yet another reader jokingly wondered, "Was it the table of all her exes, like in Four Weddings and a Funeral?!" in a nod to the 1994 British comedy starring Hugh Grant. They added, "I can't imagine another reason why she couldn't suck it up for an hour or two! Plus, they had each other to talk to." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
