Clearly!! I'd do crazy things for a burrito too, maybe that's why they kept it a secret π€
Is he supposed to be on a diet or something? Why hide a burrito?
What kind of a world are we living in where someone can't just get something to eat? No wonder the guy is out there stress eating burritos, he was panicking that she'd find out he'd had a whole calzone to himself for lunch and only got her a limp sandwich.
They fucking love calzones too hahahaa. Thanks for this thread guys, I am seeing the funny side to it all! Relationships are hard, at least they're funny sometimes to make up for it
No diet that I'm aware of, so hiding it from me doesn't make sense from that POV. Maybe they just didn't want to share??
Maybe they just needed time alone.
Yeah they've needed a lot of that recently. Been some other issues going on in their life that I'm trying to support them through but we definitely deal with pain in different ways. I'm an open book whereas they're very quiet. Maybe this was a therapeutic burrito. I hope so.
Sometimes introverts gotta introvert.
Aren't all burritos therapeutic burritos?
You sound like a loving and understanding partner.
Seems like quite an unhealthy relationship if you don't trust him and went through his phone. It seems like he would be right not to trust you.
Yeah, there are a couple issues here. First being that they felt the need to hide the burrito from their partner, and the other one being that their partner had violated privacy by going through their phone without consent.
No win scenario, honestly. Sit and stew that they didn't trust you with the food info or confront and watch the situation explode as you reveal you didn't trust them more.
Yeah fuck thank you for commenting this because you're dead right about that last point. I felt possessed, I needed to know what was happening because I just knew they were lying. But going through their phone isn't a trustworthy way of verifying that.
As I mentioned below, I am SO relieved that it was a burrito and nothing else. I just find the lying so weird.
They're the one who complains about me ordering fast food too! Maybe that's why they hid it, so they wouldn't seem hypocritical??
Yeah, that's probably the reason if they give you crap about it like that. Honestly, it seems like a great thing to work out in couples therapy. Having a neutral mediator there might go a long way. Idk your situation or how much that makes sense (more sense for marriage, less so for dating). But there's a line of communication somewhere that's been broken and needs to be mended to move forward. Best of luck OP.
We're working through some stuff right now for sure. I'm just so glad it was a burrito
I don't think I could forgive my husband if he got a free burrito and didn't share it with me.
Divorce it is so π€£
Itβs going to be a challenge to figure out who gets what half of the burrito.
Please do not go through s/o's phone
There's a lot to unpack in this scenario, but without knowing anything about previous trust issues in your relationship or any shame or other feelings your partner may have towards food/weight/body image, I think it comes down to that we are all need private moments in our lives to maintain our sanity.
Delete Facebook, hit the gym, lawyer up.
I worked from the office during Donut Day (June 2nd, dunno who decided that); later in the evening, I'm chilling and playing TotK when my partner comes up to me, clearly feeling guilty of something, and admits that while I was gone they went to Krispy Kreme for a free donut. admittedly I can get a little possessive over food, but hey I was just glad at least one of us got to enjoy a free donut! π
I believe Iβd ask where is mine?
I can't tell if this is a joke post but my honest two cents is that you both have trust issues and there are some major red flags from you both. Your partner should not be worried about telling you where he was or what he was doing, and you should not be distrusting to the point that you're going through his phone. Especially over a burrito.
Not going to lie, you had me in the first half. Well played.
