My girlfriend served me burnt steak – I’ve never been so disgusted, people say she’s a ‘living nightmare’ & I should run
A HANGRY man was furious with his girlfriend after she served him burnt steak.
People advised him to stop dating her, calling his girlfriend a "living nightmare."
Redditor Southern-Nectarine81 shared his relationship dilemma in a post.
The 31-year-old explained that he'd been living with his girlfriend for about six months.
The two had a fight over home renovation tensions, where she accused him of wasting money on his DIY project.
Weeks before the fight, he had ordered $200 wagyu steaks, which had arrived the evening before their fight.
"It was really stupid, she disagreed with me on a project that I'm working on involving the garage, and despite the fact that I own the house we live in, kept trying to assert authority over the decisions I made," he wrote.
"She then brought up the wagyu steaks as evidence that I was wasting money on the project and expensive food.
"I decided we'd have them for dinner on Friday night. My girlfriend seemed generally uninterested as she's not much of a steak person, but she said she'd enjoy them with me."
On Friday, he explained that he had headed to work in a rare sour mood but had texted his girlfriend in the afternoon asking to talk when he returned home.

"She didn't answer. I left work around 5:30, looking forward to the steaks," he said.
"But when I walked in the door, there was this horrible smoke smell. My girlfriend greeted me, grabbed my hand, and led me to the table. She said 'dinner is served.'"
What he saw at the dinner table left him sizzling.
"The steaks were pitch black. Completely inedible. Eating them would have been a health hazard," he said.
"I asked what the hell she was thinking, and she theatrically gasped with her hand over her mouth, and then said 'Oh? Me?'
"Now, let me get one thing straight here: there is no way she accidentally got those steaks to that condition.

"Based on our frying pan, she probably turned the heat up as high as it would go, threw them on with no oil or butter, and just let them sit. This was completely intentional."
He doubled down on his attempt to call her out on her lie.
"She kept being obtuse. She kept using little phrases like 'Oh, aren't you happy?' and 'Oh, weren't you looking forward to these steaks?' I've never been so disgusted with her," he said.
In his rage, he cancelled reservations for his girlfriend's birthday dinner with her parents, which was to take place a few days later, on Sunday.
"I just flat-out told her that I was canceling the reservation," he said.
"She immediately flipped and told me that her parents were going to be super upset, but I didn't care.
"She grabbed the steaks and threw them in the garbage (where they were going to go anyway) and then stormed off."
People agreed that he wasn't to blame.

"Your relationship is more burnt than the steak and should be thrown into the garbage bin too," said one commenter.
"Save yourself a whole life of this. Six months and already showing you she is a living nightmare. RUN, BOY! She loves having power over you. It will only get worse from now on."
