Birthdays are special occasions that are usually celebrated with friends and family with a nice meal at a fancy restaurant.
For this woman, she had none of that for her birthday but instead was treated to a meal of mixed rice by her boyfriend, much to her annoyance.
Woman upset over mixed rice meal for birthday
Taking to Dcard to vent her frustrations, the woman wrote that her boyfriend who, though wasn’t well to do, came from a rather decent background.
However, there was an aspect about him she noticed throughout their relationship was that he was often too eager to save up on his money.
She then turned her attention to one thing that annoyed her the most — the fact that her boyfriend would usually bring her out for mixed rice during special occasions such as anniversaries and her birthday.
I understand that he wants to save money and I’m not expecting him to bring me to fine dining restaurant. But can’t he take me to a cafe or a place that serves Western or Japanese food for the very least?
“I’ve been eating mixed rice three times a day and I’m sick of it already. Despite this, I still have to eat it on my birthday and didn’t get a present too,” she said.
The woman added that when she asked her boyfriend why he loved to eat mixed rice so much, he said that it was cheap, had lots of options, and saved them both from fighting over what to eat.
Needless to say, the woman was left speechless by her boyfriend’s answer and asked netizens on what she should do to change his overwhelming love for mixed rice.
Netizens’ response
In the comment section, the reactions from netizens ranged from sympathetic to amusement.
One commented that the woman’s boyfriend probably lacked the skills in maintaining a romantic relationship.
Another suggested that the woman break up with her boyfriend if she was so disgruntled by his actions.
Another joked that the boss of the mixed rice stall must be very happy to see the woman and her boyfriend dropping by so often.
