This is a repost. The original was posted in /r/AmItheAsshole by userstewlessinseattle. I'm not the original poster. Status: Concluded Editor's Note: I added paragraph breaks for readability Original January 2, 2025 My boyfriend loves stew, he wants to eat it every day for every meal. His favorite stew is beef tips and vegetables from a local place, but it’s really expensive. Like $47 for a big bowl (they don’t do small orders for takeout) and he is grossed out by leftovers so more than half of it gets wasted. We’ve had a couple of arguments about it, he says I don’t understand his brain, I say he doesn’t understand our budget. recently I looked up some recipes, including doing a dissection of the takeout soup, and tried my hand at making a home cooked replacement for stew night. He loved it for a few days, and then one night he was hanging out with me in the kitchen and saw me put tomato paste into the pot, he was really upset and demanded that I make the soup without the paste. I told him it wouldn’t taste the same and he said it would be better because he hates tomatoes, they’re not a safe food for him. So I made the soup with no tomato paste and big surprise, something felt off about it to him. Instead of admitting that the tomato paste was necessary he threw a fit and told me he didn’t want home cooked food anymore if I was going to “play with him” and not take his safe foods seriously, he thinks I changed more than just the tomato paste in an effort to get him to admit he was wrong. $400 in stew orders later I had an idea to ask the chef when we were picking up the order if there was any tomato products in the stew, and lo and behold there is tomato in the recipe, fucking tomato paste. In my mind this was great because I thought he would get over it if he knew his original perfect stew had tomato paste like “oh I guess tomato paste isn’t so bad then” but it was the exact opposite. He walked out of the restaurant without saying anything and then refused to eat the stew that night and hasn’t ordered it again, and he’s been ignoring me while sulking around the house, using his whiny voice a lot, and slamming things. His sister also texted me to tell me I’m a selfish asshole for needing to “get back at him” by taking his favorite food away. I literally just wanted to stop spending insane amounts of money on stew, I wasn’t trying to hurt him or ruin his life. I’m not autistic, I can’t really wrap my head around caring this much about a single ingredient, I genuinely didn’t see this reaction coming. We’ve been together for four years and he’s only had three other fits like this, the other ones were pretty reasonable. Those were also a little less intense and didn’t include input from his family, this is the first time anyone in his family has EVER spoke to me like this. So I’ve been back and forth between “yall are overreacting” and “what have I done”. AITA? It sounds so dumb when I write it all out but living it has made me feel physically sick with regret, I can’t think straight anymore. ETA: I’m getting ready for work right now so I can’t respond to individual comments but there’s some recurring confusion/questions I wanted to clear up because it might effect the answers: 1/ The stew place is a catering place with a mini-restaurant, so every time we order takeout we’re ordering a catering amount pretty much, it’s not stew made of gold lol 2/ We order from there 2-3 nights a week, it’s not the only thing he eats it’s just the top 5 foods for him, he doesn’t eat this unreasonably every single day. 3/ He has a job and contributes with money, I’m not funding his entire diet. We do mix money, so even though “he” pays for the meal half the time it does still feel like “we’re” losing money. He works part time and I work full time, bills are probably split 70-30. Consensus: Not the asshole Commenters point out this isn't autism, this is him being a prick who weaponizes his autism. Some of the comments by OOP: When he first blew up on me about putting tomato paste in the stew at home I told him that pretty much all of the recipes online included tomato paste, that I wasn’t trying to mess with him I was just trying to make it as close as possible to what he likes. He told me that was a bullshit excuse because “what I like is the stew from the catering place, if you can’t make that then don’t bother” and I told him that the catering place probably makes the stew the same way. He told me that he would be able to tell if there was tomato in that stew and we had sort of a “We’ll see” ending to that argument. We didn’t do a pickup order for a few weeks but when we did is when I asked about the ingredients, we were both present and i was under the impression that we would eventually ask, but i did blurt it out without warning him from his perspective if he wasn’t expecting it. He had a “if there’s tomato in it I guess I’m crazy and I like them” attitude during the argument so I thought he’d be more accepting of the answer. It was kind of an I told you so moment either way because I was right, but I didn’t say anything to him before he stormed off, it was pretty much instant. His mom cooked a lot of his food before we moved in together, and he trusts her without question because she knows what he likes. He first tried the stew at his brothers wedding, his mom served it to him on a shallow plate (so not a lot of broth and you could see the ingredients pretty clearly) and told him “you’d like this” and he just kind of dug in. We’d already been dating for a year and a half by then so I was used to his quirks but in retrospect it is a little annoying that she got to intentionally feed him a not-safe food and I’m catching all this flak later on about it. He doesn’t like cooking because of how often he has to wash his hands while handling food, he also hates washing dishes and is very messy in the kitchen. So if I do make him cook he’ll be very overstimulated the whole time and I end up with the huge mess afterwards, which is its own issue. It’s just easier for me to cook or for us to eat out. I’m not sure what his official diagnosis is, he got all that figured out through the school when he was younger and they only talk about his autism now. His parents had him in therapy for a while but he doesn’t like being “professionally grilled” so once he turned 18 he started declining that sort of stuff. If he’s OCD he doesn’t know it and he won’t want to find out. He doesn’t really care how the tomatoes come, he hates the entire idea of them. He had them as a kid and has hated them ever since, I’m not sure what the original delivery of that was (maybe chunky pizza sauce? I can’t remember). The issue is that for the first two years things weren’t like this at all before he moved out of his parents house. His needs were being met really well at home and it gave him a very “whatever” attitude when we would hang out because if I didn’t have his food/clothes/soap etc at my house he would just wave it off and say he’d stop by his house and get it. But now it’s like no matter what I do I can’t replicate that for him and he’s constantly overstimulated and bothered by something, most recently the stew. For a long time it’s felt like if I can get things to that perfect environment back for him then he’ll go back to being the way he was, but I don’t know if I’m humanly capable of doing that lately His parents do pay for some things for him but not any shared bills. Lots of his clothes, electronics etc are gifts from his mom, and she definitely feels entitled to a snippy comment here and there because of that. I was honestly taken aback that his sister was the one to text me though, we’ve gotten along really well in the past because we’re similar in age. Now it feels like even though he’s calming down about the stew my relationship with his family is fractured and awkward. He’s not very good with money (obviously) so we started a shared bank account when he moved in. I plan to figure out moving the money and closing the account but there’s a lot going on right now and it’s been pushed to the back burner. Therapy is not an option. His parents would buy the stew a few times a month, he buys stuff like that more often now that he’s on his own. He was in college while living with them and wasn’t working so lots of his life was dictated by them, now that he’s got his own money he’s very much into treating himself and doing whatever he wants. I would say he has the ability to be “functional” when he’s not frustrated or overstimulated by something. For a long time he was completely “typical” and I didn’t even know he was autistic. I’m not dating someone who has like, the mind of a child. Just wanted to put that out there lol I wasn’t trying to “teach him a lesson” I literally just don’t want to go broke over stew. Leaving it alone was going to bankrupt us, that’s not really something I could have done. I tried making it cheaper at home, I tried reasoning with him at the restaurant, I’m not a magician like what am I supposed to do at that point. I don’t know what “flexing” on this would have been other than actually letting us become homeless. I didn’t say he’s acting whiny, I said he’s using that kind of voice. It’s a specific voice he turns to when he’s in a bad mood and it’s the best way to describe it. But honestly, he IS being whiny. Weeks of huffing, slamming doors, and snapping at me every time I try to talk to him all because I told him there was tomatoes in his takeout stew, maybe you’re right and I’m not being empathetic enough but I think I deserve better than this kind of behavior. Maybe a more empathetic person would be able to take it with a smile on their face, maybe im just not that guy. I said it in another comment somewhere but the only reason I actually asked the restaurant about the tomato paste was he seemed like he would have accepted it being an ingredient. During our initial argument (when he “caught” me with the tomato paste) he was in such disbelief that they WOULD have that as an ingredient that he was saying stuff like “I guess if there’s tomatoes in that stew than all these years I really have liked tomatoes” and acting like it was so impossible that it was almost funny to imagine tomatoes being in that stew. I didn’t realize at the time that he was being like, rhetorical. If he does move back with his parents after this we won’t be continuing a relationship, it’s part of the reason why he moved out in the first place. While he was living there they were all very intrusive in our relationship and it was causing problems for us at the time. He wasn’t allowed out past 10pm, I wasn’t allowed over overnight, he HAD to be home for Sunday dinner etc. it was like dating a high schooler. So it’s definitely something both of us are trying to avoid, it would be the end. He did move from his parents into my apartment this time, but he’s lived alone previously when he was younger. He lived pretty far away from them at the time and was doing an okay job surviving on his own, he looks back on that time fondly. 70% my income 30% his, rent, utilities, food, streaming services etc included. We have a mutual account where checks get deposited that bills autopay from, and then we each have a private account for savings and debt. He makes less money than me and he also has more debt from prior to our relationship (school, car, private loan) so he puts in a lot less. There’s no such thing as “his fun money”, he makes less than we pay in food overall. If I told him to pay his own way he’d starve to death, it just wouldn’t work. He also refuses to work more hours, he’s trying to run a side gig that takes up a considerable amount of time and working full time on top of it would squash that. He’d rather move back in with his parents than work full time, it’s something he’s drawn a line in the sand about. He thinks I changed the stew to fuck with him because he couldn’t accept that tomatoes were the secret ingredient of the catering stew, that’s literally it. I’m not in the habit of secretly screwing around with his food. He obviously wouldn’t have even tried it in the first place if that was a regular occurrence at our house. I’m not sure what else I could be doing to support his needs at this point, I’m not an ATM or a robot butler I’m literally just a person trying my best. Idk. He just graduated and he’s looking for full time work but it’s been difficult, we don’t live in an area super booming in the field he’s trying to get into, he’s doing part time work for now so he doesn’t have to commit to something serious while he waits for interviews. We’re into the same hobbies/fandoms, we used to go to lots of conventions and events before he moved and he actually did lots of the planning/guiding for stuff like that. Date nights binging tv and getting takeout (ironic), really sentimental gifts, he would plan and execute that sort of stuff 100% himself. So he can do the boyfriend thing when he’s at his best, he’s just at his worst lately. I’m 26 and he is about to turn 33 [if she would stay with him if he keeps being like that] Definitely not if nothing changes, but part of the issue is that this IS the change. For half of our relationship he was perfectly agreeable and we were really happy. Then he moved in and slowly over time things have become less and less like that. Now I’m sitting here wondering if the OLD him is the real him or if the NEW him is the real him. Like maybe I can get that old vibe back. Or, maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg and he’s going to get even worse. Trying to figure that out so I know where to go from here. Update May 22, 2025, about 5 months later I still get messages about this sometimes so I thought I would do an update post instead of responding to everyone individually, it’s nothing really interesting. I had to basically kick him out right after I made the first post, he lived at his parents house and then moved in with a friend. He has a job and his attitude is a little bit better. We went to couples counseling for three weeks but then had an argument and stopped going because it felt like it was doing more harm than good sometimes. We’re not really together anymore but we’re more than just friends, it’s a weird nebulous thing that I can’t put into words. He really wants to make things work again and I’m trying but it’s hard to see him the same after everything, I have a few months to feel things out and decide for sure. Probably not what everyone was hoping for but it’s just the way things are rn. Update 2 September 17, 2025, about 9 months after the first posting and 4 months after the last I forgot this acc existed but I’ve been getting comments on my update from forever ago out of nowhere. I’m really trying to get over this so I’m just going to let you guys know what’s up and then delete this acc off of my phone I think. We’re not getting back together, I haven’t even talked to him for months, we tried to take a break to get into a more healthy relationship dynamic and he pretty much went insane. I have him blocked on everything and I am moving back home at the end of this year and scrubbing his existence and this entire relationship from my brain. I feel like this has been a huge waste of my life and my time and my energy, everything I put into building my life these past few years feels like hot garbage that fell on my face. Idk. He was doing really good for a while and then started drinking again because he’s living with a very enabling friend and went off the fucking rails. He’s not autistic, he has bipolar disorder. He apparently got diagnosed with this in highschool and felt ashamed of it because he thinks it’s feminine, so his ENTIRE FAMILY decided to start telling people he had autism instead. I cannot explain to you the sickness I felt when he was explaining this to me, I felt like someone hit me with a car. I feel like a psycho. Everything I know about the facts of his life are supported by half truths and outright lies. I literally feel so fucking played it’s insane. The embarrassment I feel anytime I have to talk about him, or my life AT ALL the past few years, it’s crazy. I’m going home and I’m going to stay with my sister and sub and pretend like none of this literally happened at all. I went to college, I graduated, I moved back home, the parts in between are going to be deleted from my brain. I have had a therapist here for a few years now that I’ve seen on and off and I have been seeing her more this year to talk about everything that happened, but I mostly feel talked-out on the subject, so I’m not sure if I’m going to get another therapist when I move. Part of me feels like I’ll be dragging it all there with me if I start seeing someone new and have to explain everything again, but I don’t feel great about moving somewhere new and going “cold turkey”. If anyone has advice on that that would be great. I'm not the original poster submitted by /u/Schattenspringer to r/BORUpdates [link] [comments]

I posted on here earlier this year when I think I was in the 80s, but I just made my last one so I figured I'd throw an update in here. I really enjoyed this, even if I had a slump somewhere in the middle and spent a month making two soups a day. Edit: Here's the recipes, for anyone who wants them. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rV-7s16lSeYpM53K8qeJg5P_0RCxE1Z1qa-I4VUpv9A/edit?tab=t.0 submitted by /u/EdyHedlam to r/soup [link] [comments]

Still the best bowl of soup in Chicagoland. Delicate broth with deep flavor, tender beef, and fresh noodles with a bite. The perfect winter meal imo. submitted by /u/Premature_concrete to r/chicagofood [link] [comments]

Do any store bought en broths use FILTERED WATER? It suddenly dawned on me as I was sipping some spicy beef broth by Swanson, that I almost thought I tasted chlorine... I looked on the ingredients list and it just says beef stock/water nothing about it being filtered could be found... I tried googling and it found nothing... I will be calling them come Monday with an update. I am very against tap water for plenty of reasons .. all the chemicals, and it making food taste like a pool. I have my own reverse osmosis machine, and I literally use it to boil my noodles even. Im very strict about this. What do you think? Do they use tap water? I'm assuming so if it's not labeled 'filtered water' under the ingredients. It seems like it would cost a lot more for the huge pipes in the factory to filter. All that broth. I checked a few organic broths online and even THEY aren't listed under filtered. This is absolutely disgusting and disappointing and means from now on I'll be making my own broths, if that's the case. I'm surprised more people aren't concerned about water filteration. I do not need my beef broth with a side of pool water chlorine and other free radicals. submitted by /u/Raibean to r/CookingCircleJerk [link] [comments]

I’ve always wondered why a beef soup would call for chicken base? I use beef anyway but would my recipe taste better with chicken? submitted by /u/SFR51 to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

It’s ramen broth with 2 eggs cracked in, stirred, and microwaved. It’s actually really good on certain flavors but Do NOT ❌ do it on Maruchan beef ramen. submitted by /u/No_Supermarket7724 to r/shittyfoodporn [link] [comments]
