The couple are both 25 and have been in a relationship for three years. The man wrote that during their relationship together they have been ‘very healthy’, exercised and tried new diets as a couple.
While scrolling through Instagram, the Redditor saw many diets promoting a carnviore lifestyle.
He wrote: ‘I know I’m not a dietician myself and I’m sure I’m just a novice when it comes to nutrition, but this diet really disgusts me.
‘Despite everything, after I came across those messages, I didn’t think much about it.
“Anyway, my girlfriend has been acting really strange these past few days.
‘I know she has struggled with her body image all her life and is very insecure about her weight. She is so beautiful and has a rocking body that I love to hug every night.
‘In recent days her body image has deteriorated. She often points out negative things about her body, hesitates to eat, seeks many diets, etc.
‘Worried, I always checked on her and encouraged her to eat, but often she was cold and distant.’
The commentators were largely on the man’s side, labeling the situation as ‘insane’ and ‘much less than okay’
He recently discovered that she had purchased a ticket for an out-of-state flight, so he confronted her about it.
The man continued, “In her response, she stated that while scrolling through her Instagram account, she viewed many of the posts promoting the carnivore diet and booked a flight to go to a meet-and-greet with a dietician who promotes this.
‘Frustrated and shocked by the whole situation, we got into an argument.
‘The worst part is that she has admitted to following the diet and even put chunks of raw meat in my meals to ‘convert’ me to the lifestyle.
‘I was very angry and ended the fight on bad terms. The last thing she told me was that she was 100% confident about her diet change and decided to leave on her own.
‘I’ve texted her numerous times but I’m still very angry with her. AITA for wanting to leave her after so many years?”
The commentators were largely on the man’s side, labeling the situation as “insane” and “much less than okay.”
One person wrote: ‘Her behavior is certainly bizarre. You are NTA because you want to close.
“I would be concerned about booking the whole trip without talking to you. You don’t do that if you have a partner.
‘And putting raw meat in your food is really diabolical. And a bit dangerous.’
Someone else said: ‘It absolutely amazes me what people are capable of.’
Another Redditor who experienced a similar situation said, “My ex-wife would purposely overcook the ground beef when she was mad at me. It’s a big reason why she’s an ex now. Food poisoning should not be something your partner just exposes you to.”
Someone else replied: ‘That’s crazy. I hope I never have to be in a relationship where I have to worry that my partner might harm me through bacterial poisoning.’
