Might seem like not a huge deal but, Here’s some context.
I have been with my boyfriend 32y.o, for few months. Unlike him, I come from a well off background and last week I invited him out on an upscale restaurant for a dinner together.
We got there, sat down at our table and chatted for some time. He ordered some orange juice then asked the waitress to bring him 2 more straws besides the one he had with his juice. I was puzzled I asked if he was expecting one of his friends and he laughed and said “ohhh no…not after what they did to me last night” I was like ???? but watched to see what he was doing.
The waitress came back with the 2 straws then took our orders. The minute she walked away my boyfriend put the other 2 straws in his juice and basically started sipping with the 3 straws making an unbelievably absurd and annoying sound. I was floored I asked what he was doing and why. He nonchalantly smug smiled and said so he could drink faster.
I got mad and quite embarrassed cause people were literally side-eyeing me since I’m a regular. I told him to stop but he didn’t. I said that I’d leave if he wouldn’t and he made eye contact and kept sipping. I had it, I said I wasn’t going to continue to be humiliated any longer and grabbed my stuff and made my way out. He shouted for me to wait but I didn’t.
30 minutes later, he started rage texting me about how I overreacted and how I keep ruining good times worrying about what those “snobs” think.
Then talked about how ridiculous I was to walk out like that and repeatedly texted about how I should stop being a pretenious snob just because I hang around them which I found really really offensive. He ecpected me to apologize for “making a scene” and walking out like that over something so stupid and harmless.
