AITA for “forcing” my boyfriend to do the dishes?

A Reddit user shared their frustration with their boyfriend, who continues to make jokes about their lactose intolerance, particularly when it comes to tacos. Despite repeated requests not to add cheese to their food, the boyfriend secretly tampered with the tacos by adding cheese.

When the user discovered it, they were upset and left the boyfriend to clean up the mess. Now, he’s complaining about being “forced” to do the dishes, as it’s usually the user’s responsibility. To understand how others have reacted to this conflict, read the full story below…

‘ AITA for “forcing” my boyfriend to do the dishes?’

I’m lactose intolerant. Every time I make tacos, my boyfriend always makes jokes about how I’m “disrespecting Mexican culture” by not having cheese in my tacos. I’ve told him multiple times I’m not going to give myself the shits just to make him feel better about my friggin’ tacos (he’s not even Mexican, he’s white.).

This came to a head last night when we were having tacos again. I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, I noticed my taco looked tampered with. I go to inspect, and lo and behold, there’s f**king cheese buried underneath the other ingredients.

I told my boyfriend he was a raging douchecanoe and went to bed, leaving him to do the cleanup. I still haven’t spoken to him all morning, and he’s complaining about how I “forced” him to do the dishes, because normally I do them. AITA here?

Here’s how people reacted to the post:

Cautious_Potential35 −  NTA. ​ But is this really the relationship you want to be in? Do mexicans use cheese in taxo? I thought that was a western addition? He tried to make you ill. He should be glad you arent forcing him to clean the toilet after you acidentaly ate cheese. It is brought to my attention that mexcio is geograpichally in the west. Sorry. To anybody that felt I tried to move them.

detronlove −  You make dinner. And clean. And he’s an ass about your medical condition? What redeeming qualities does this boy have?. NTA.

allmycorckpots −  NTA – d**p his ass for trying to poison you

WinsomeAnlussom −  I’m trying to imagine what keeps you with a guy who can’t respect a very basic thing about you that you couldn’t change even if you wanted to. There’s so much more wrong here than his sulking about the dishes–for which you are most certainly NTA.

travellingdink −  NTA. Wtf? Traditional tacos don’t even have cheese on them. So one: your bf is a dumb ass, two: even if theu did, who tf cares and three: what is wrong with your bf? Why would you be with someone who thinks it’s okay for you to be digestive distress all night? I’m now questioning your sanity for being with someone who acts like a 4yo.

eliiZmel −  NTA, he tampered with your food. Also, real tacos don’t have cheese, the i**ot “disrespecting Mexican culture” is him smh

tiacalypso −  NTA, your boyfriend tried to give you food that makes you sick. He‘s an a**hole.

Madam_Cholet −  NTA. Your boyfriend tried to poison you. Just putting that out there.

pizzaforeveryone6998 −  YTA for posting such a stupid question. Why would you be the a**hole in your situation?
