A woman says she was upset when she came home to an empty table after she asked her boyfriend, who works from home, to prepare dinner.
The 23-year-old posted about the ordeal on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, writing that she works from early morning into the evening, while her 26-year-old boyfriend, whom she lives with, stays home all day, studying.
"I usually come home to cook and I really don’t mind it at all," the woman wrote, adding, "Today my boyfriend said he would cook as I told him I was really hungry during work."
Detailing that she meant for the food to be done when she was finished with her work day, so she could "just eat," the woman continued, "I got home and nothing was done."
"I got very irritated and just went straight to the kitchen and started cooking. My boyfriend saw that I was upset and said he was gonna cook but he was waiting for the maid to come and wash the pots and she only came at 3 p.m. In my head I thought, 'Why can’t you wash one pot?' but I said nothing," she added.

Further explaining that the couple's cleaning woman "only comes once a week to do a thorough clean," the Redditor said her boyfriend "usually washes the leftover dishes during the day when I’m at work," but did not.
"This sort of makes me more mad because then he had no excuse not to wash the pot," she continued.
"It’s literally my birthday tomorrow and he’s not even talking to me currently. All I wanted was to come home today and have the food ready so I could eat. I don’t mind doing the cooking but then don’t say the food will be done and when I get there nothing has been done," added the woman.

Noting that she was "so frustrated" and that she felt her boyfriend "makes it seem as though I'm the bad person and I just feel like s---," the woman added that her boyfriend went to sleep in a different room after their argument.
"When I said he’s being immature and ridiculous, he told me to f--- off and went back to sleep on the couch," she said.

In the comments section of the post, many sided with the woman over her boyfriend.
One wrote, "He let you down. Completely. It's a small thing but you were counting on it. He said he would and then he just...didn't. The excuses are ridiculous. He could have done a lot of things to uphold the promise he made you. At the very least he could have ordered take out."
Another chimed in to say they thought the boyfriend was in the wrong, "especially since he said he would."
