To be thoroughly pissed off with definitely non-D P

[PeahenTailFeathers]

I've been a vegetarian for 21 years, since I was 12, and I don't even class meat as food now. I don't have a problem with other people eating meat, although I think it should be free-range, locally killed etc, but I certainly don't make an issue of it.
Anyway, point is:
My boyfriend has now developed the unspeakably vile habit of, when he has meat, all but shoving his plate into my face and telling me to "smell this, it's lovely." BOAK, especially because I'm 32 weeks' pregnant and have a strong gag reflex. AIBU to be completely furious with him and to seriously consider grabbing the plate from him and throwing his dinner over his head the next time he does it?

YANBU. He is being a knob.

He's an idiot.

But YOU picked him

Maybe you're a bit hormonal......

Have you asked him why he does it when he knows you are vegetarian, when he knows you don't like this and when he knows it makes you gag?

Why would he keep on doing it to you?

Does he think he's funny? Because it actually sounds bullying behaviour to me.

Perhaps if you tell him that he may pause and think about what he is doing and why.

And that a 'joke' is where everyone is laughing...

that is very disrespectful

do you have other issues in your relationship?

YANBU. Vomit on his plate, that'll teach the bastard

I'd refuse to buy meat of any kind whatsoever and make sure that any that he bought went straight into the bin. I'd make sure that any packaging/tin etc was opened before it went in with the teabags and dirty tissues or whatever too. He'd soon learn.

That's really horrible. I have a life-long aversion to meat and sometimes I have actually been sick at the thought of something let alone the sight.

Ex once ordered the mixed grill when we were out and kept doing the same thing - talking endlessly about the texture and how rare this or that was. I asked him if it was chewy and how did he know he wasn't chewing on, say a cancerous lump?

He went ballistic! Properly mad. I was quite shocked at his reaction given what he had been doing to me. He was a wanker, too.

Well I agree with others, what on earth does he think he's doing? He sounds cruel. How long have you been together? asking because you said he was your boyfriend.

That's nasty.

Probably isn't a productive, or helpful response, but he's acting like a bully at school, or an inappropriate work-colleague.

Cassette? You did say that!

I can see them

I know what you're saying Graham but I fear once an arsehole always an arsehole. He shouldn't have done it in the first place knowing the OP doesn't like meat. He's being a double wanker considering she's pregnant. You can certainly counter what the other one does with equally bad behaviour but then it just becomes a mad circle of tit for tat.

I like CreepyWeeBrackets 's suggestion about the lump. Or mention that you've read that cases of CJD are on the rise again.

Do you do the cooking or shopping? If so, stop buying meat and/or stop cooking it for him. If he asks why, tell him his recent antics have made you realise you can't stand even to be near the stuff.

I think he's being nasty.

It's a piss-poor attempt at 'humour' that I suppose someone might have attempted once. But to continue to repeat it? That is just deliberately nasty.

Do whatever it takes to have him desist.

Incidentally, are you having issues over the proposed diet of your child, when s/he is older, by any chance?

I go with the suggestion above, give in to that gag reflux and be sick all over his plate.

He sounds like a comedy genius. Has he always been this funny?

Have you actually told him to fuck off, whilst giving him a paddington bear hard stare?

If someone did that repeatedly to me eventually I would end up pouring lentil dhal all over him.

I'd tip my veggie dinner all over him. What a bullying piece of shit.

MyleeneCrass I would just like to compliment you on a brilliant name. I heart you.

Thank you for not telling me IABU. He cooks the meat and thinks that because he finds his dinner delicious, I will as well. In fairness, when his mum is round he makes her taste his food so he's a bit of an oversharer in that regard. He's still a knob

Have a right old talk to him NOW not sure how effective it will be. Whilst you did pick him OP you can certainly un-pick him.

Is he doing the jealous not getting enough attention thing?
