Thanksgiving is a special national holiday that is celebrated on different dates in different countries. Thanksgiving is essential because it is a good and popular holiday where people come together to celebrate gratitude, which is something that most people do less of these days. 

Thanksgiving is one of the most anticipated days of the year because not only do you enjoy it as a holiday, you also get to visit people and spend time as a huge family. There are assorted meals prepared, a huge chicken waiting to be devoured, and other extra dishes on the side.

So much goes into the preparation of Thanksgiving dishes that people can even choose to bring side dishes, which is totally welcomed by the host. But the Op named u/Thanksgiving4433 in today’s story has an entirely different story to tell.

His fiancée, who he knew wasn't vegan and didn't have any allergies, wanted to bring her own full meal to his family's Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, he wouldn't have it and told her that "it'd be disrespectful of her as a first-time guest at our family's thanksgiving," but his fiancée insisted on bringing her own food rather than go hungry just to please his mother.

Well, it didn’t end well, as u/Thanksgiving4433 left her at home, went for Thanksgiving, and had to make up an excuse for her not making it. Here’s the story in his own words:

AITA for leaving my fiancée at home

The story continues

She wants to bring her own food

Making up an excuse

Some were in support of the Op with good reason, while some were against him with good reasons as well. Here are the top comments from the AITA Reddit community:

That stuff is highly disrespectful to the family

Seems like a test for you to choose between her and your family

This isn't your last meal

But it's quite rude to not eat what someone generously made and there you are eating your own prepared meal... Well, unless you have real good reasons.

Some questions just needs to be asked

The point is family when it comes to family meals

She's the one making the dump decisions

It's time to think about your future seriously

Giving your GF the opportunity to work with your mom

Abandoning her and driving away was awful

She doesn't use her critical thinking in arguments

She just assumed she won't like your mother's cooking

Thanksgiving is not about the food

You would be right to re-think your relationship

Sounds like she doesn't like traditional Thanksgiving food

Not everyone like the same food

We're talking about a full on meal here

Her plan was a bit overboard but still...

Congrats on being single again

She should have offered to add to the meal

What's wrong with bringing your own food?

Bringing a side dish to Thanksgiving is always welcomed

It’s quite rude for everyone to be digging into the traditional Thanksgiving meal while you’re in one corner having your own special meal. The host might get the wrong impression, but then again, the girl in question might be battling something which she hasn’t discussed with her fiancé.

The end product is for them to have a good conversation. What do you think? Let us in on your thoughts by dropping a comment below!
