The man took to Reddit to discuss the behavior of his brother’s new love interest, revealing that she caused a scene at a restaurant and criticized him for “alienating” him.
The man explained that when he and his fiancée chose the restaurant, the only dietary restrictions they knew about were pescatarians, but that was before his brother brought the lady of his life.
He added that when the girlfriend found out there was nothing he could eat, he made a scene in front of everyone, and now, his family members are pressuring him to apologize, despite his ‘inappropriate attitude’.
In the post, the engaged man wrote: ‘My fiancé and I invited our immediate family and close friends to this dinner party (about 30 people).
‘Dinner was held at a good Italian restaurant in my town. Our invitations gave our guests the option to choose between a meat option and a fish option for their entrees.”
He explained that the only people in his family and his fiancée’s who have dietary restrictions are his father and stepmother, who are pescatarians.
The man then said that a “week before” the dinner, his younger brother came over and asked if he could bring his new girlfriend.
Although her brother “goes out a lot and always brings new girls”, the man said yes and assured his brother that there would be a seat for her.
The Reddit user explained, “I didn’t know he was in a relationship,” adding, “I told her I was and I’d have an extra seat for her.”
The younger brother chose meat as his food option.
‘Dinner night arrives, everyone is having a good time, I met my brother’s new girlfriend, she seemed very sweet.
The man then said that a “week before” the dinner, his younger brother came over and asked if he could bring his new girlfriend.
When it was time to eat, he pushed one of the waiters aside and asked loudly, “Is there a vegan option?”
“The waiter looked confused and said, ‘We have a fish and a meat option for main courses. I can offer you a salad and some baked potatoes and other vegetables as a substitute if you’d like.'”
The Reddit user revealed that his brother’s girlfriend then began “goofing around” with the waiter and criticized the worker for only offering her a salad.
He reportedly said, ‘Well, what if I don’t want a salad, huh? You assume since I’m vegan I only eat salads? What if I want pasta? What kind of restaurant is this? This is discrimination.
The groom’s brother tried to calm down his girlfriend, but it seemed useless as she was already furious.
“He started saying to me, ‘Why would you choose a restaurant that doesn’t have vegan options? A lot of people are vegan nowadays, it makes me feel alienated that you can’t even think of pleasing me.”
The engaged man tried to explain that he only considered pescatarians because he didn’t know she was coming to the dinner until a week ago and the reservation was booked a month ago.
The bride criticized the engaged man, calling him “embarrassing” and “little” for not pleasing all the guests.
He replied: ‘Sorry, I didn’t think to accommodate you, I’ll consider it in the future, I hope you’ll be here long enough for me to do it.
The Reddit user revealed that his younger brother has since been pestering him to apologize for embarrassing her in front of everyone.
She then stormed out of the restaurant and the engaged man’s brother walked out with her.
The Reddit user revealed that his younger brother has since been pestering him to apologize for embarrassing her in front of everyone.
He added that his mother has also begged him to apologize to “be a bigger person and keep the peace.”
The Reddit user questioned if he was the jerk for “making her feel alienated.”
Other social media users were quick to defend the engaged man and even criticized the bride for giving vegans a “bad name” and begged him not to apologize to her.
One user called the girlfriend a “spoiled brat” and said: “Oh for God’s sake don’t apologize to her.” Who do you think you are to complain like that?
Other social media users were quick to defend the engaged man and even criticized the bride for giving vegans a “bad name.”
‘The way she spoke to the waiter shows she has no manners and the way she spoke to you tells me she is rude, bratty and spoiled.
‘She was embarrassed in front of everyone for this inappropriate attitude and you were too nice to her, bravo. Easy, not the ass. Your brother is the jerk for siding with her and she is the jerk here.
Another person commented: ‘I was starting to write don’t apologize, when I saw this post. I agree with all of this and would add, if I couldn’t eat the food at a family event I would just not eat it or keep it to myself. It’s a family event, which I’m not part of, so I talk about small things and make some connections. If I wanted to be pushy about the food, I would leave the area and talk to the staff out of earshot of the attendees.’
‘Not the ass. I hate when people weaponize their veganism. Unless it’s an allergy, choosing not to eat something is a personal choice,” said one Reddit user.
Others said that she was an ‘unbearable brat’ and said that she was the one who ‘broke the peace’ because she was ‘little’.
‘Not the asshole but wow oh wow, but your brother’s girlfriend is. You must remind your brother that your world does not revolve around his current or future girlfriends. Her audacity, invited to a good restaurant by people she barely knows and calls her name. That’s why vegans get a bad rap,” another person commented.
