AITA for wanting breakfast in bed on my birthday

I got into an argument with my s/o this past weekend over this. I said that for my birthday I want lobster breakfast in bed but she said it was a dinner item. I said okay then I’ll just take my dinner early and she said that not her type of humor and not to talk back. So finally I said can i have lobster dinner in bed and she sighed, leaving me in the room alone with the dog the cat and the pets we have. Is she acting this way for other reasons? I feel like you could have lobster for breakfast and it’s my birthday not hers

  1. YTA, and what is wrong with you sulking like this.? . Let alone the actual difficulty of eating lobster in bed .

  2. Pardon me! Would you like some grey pupon!

    M’lord fetch thee my finest lobster from the shores of Maine! I have a hankering in my tum tum for some shellfish!

    Bro just ask for a red lobster gift card lmao

  3. Will you be making her a fancy meal in bed or the equivalent thing that she actually wants ( cleaning services, the right date night, etc)? If yes then NTA. If no then YTA.

    To help gauge where you fall before this coming birthday: what did you get her for her bday last year? What did she get you? What about over the holidays? What did she give you for your anniversary and what did you give her in return? Her response makes me think she’s experiencing a pattern and she’s not happy with this anymore

  4. YTA

    Lobsters are pretty messy. Like, a lot of restaurants serve it with a bib, messy.

    I don’t see how one could eat one in bed with any practicality, and without mess.

  5. YTA for the simple fact that you asked, she said no, and you kept pressing anyway. Maybe don’t demand servitude as a present.

    EDIT: I encourage everyone reading this to go through the comments and read OP’s responses before making your judgment. They are telling a very interesting and somewhat disturbing story

  6. What do you mean by lobster dinner in bed?

    There’s no way I’d be ok with someone cracking bodies in my freakin bed. Lobster and eggs sure. Baked stuffed lobster tail or lobster bisque, yeah, ok. But no bodies and shells in my bed!

    No. No. No. No.

    Oh, and, does she ever cook lobster or are you expecting her to do something that’s not in her wheelhouse?

    It might be your birthday but it’s not a day of servitude for your loved ones.

    Leaning YTA for expecting too much.

  7. I gotta go with a YTA purely because *lobster* in bed. Are you gonna be the person cleaning all those sheets afterwards? Doesn’t seem like it, given you apparently haven’t even considered why this might be an issue.

    Look, I love eating in bed as much as the next lazy person. But some foods just *aren’t* “eat in bed” foods. Anything that involves breaking down a whole animal is one of them.

  8. At least I know this one wasn’t written by AI.

    My dude, if there is one food you should not eat in bed, it’s the one that’s so messy they bring you a bib like you’re two years old. This is just gross. YTA.

  9. So how did your girlfriend of nine years feel when you were posting on here a year ago having trouble on dating apps? Or when you put your personal number and wanted people to text you?
