Pregnant Woman Gets Blasted On Reddit For Making Her BF Leave A Family Party For A Silly Craving

Ah, the wonderful world of pregnancy cravings! It's a magical time when expectant mothers develop a superpower for summoning the most peculiar food combinations known to humankind.

Pickles and ice cream? Sure!

Peanut butter and pickles? Absolutely!

Pregnancy cravings have long been the subject of fascination and amusement. It's like a guessing game where taste buds go on vacation and imagination takes over.

Partners and loved ones become honorary detectives, scouring grocery stores at odd hours to fulfill the urgent desire for pickles, chocolate-covered pretzels, or perhaps a melon dipped in mustard. And if you think the cravings end at midnight, think again!

Of course, there's a certain charm to witnessing the dedication of partners who learn to whip up these unusual dishes with pride and love. Suddenly, culinary skills are put to the test, as dads-to-be embark on daring culinary experiments to satisfy their partner's desires. It's a true test of their commitment and creativity.

However, while it's quite heartwarming to see the dedication of partners in finding food that will satisfy their significant other's tummies, it can be quite daunting at times—especially when those cravings hit in the most inconvenient times. But hey, it's not a life-and-death situation, right?

Take this particular Redditor, for example...

OP is a pregnant woman who spilled her dilemma under the r/AITA subcommunity. Apparently, she got a pregnancy craving during a party.

OP's BF hesitated, given that they just arrived at the party. But he eventually caved in after OP asked him again for it, just half an hour after she initially mentioned it.

Sam, the boyfriend, got mad that they had to leave the party early for her food cravings. OP think it's not a big deal at all, but asked the Reddit community if they do think she was an a-hole for doing it.

Here's what people have to say:

Well, it goes to say that she definitely did not expect these responses. This one just called her childish.

Right? It's not actually a necessity to get the food that you are craving.

It should only be satisfied as soon as possible if they come with other factors such as nausea.

Bottomline: OP is an a-hole for creating such an inconvenience.

Given the amount of women commenting, someone stepped in and said this. The real problem here though, apparently, is how OP worded her dilemma—it seems like this one's more fitting.

Yeah, it's taxing to drive that far and then end up not wanting it anyway. Imagine the arguments that would sprout!

Sorry, but grow up, OP. It's a family event, get a grip on yourself.

Well, it's a good thing that OP did take the comments lightly and accepted that they were indeed in the wrong. Here's what she said after editing the post:

It's never good to invalidate people's feelings, especially women (and pregnant, at that!), but it's a whole other story if someone uses that card just to expect their significant other to fix the problems they have at hand. Experiencing pain and needing immediate attention is one thing, but for a silly little craving that can just be ignored, maybe you should keep your ego in check!
