My (22F) boyfriend (24M) always told me he was allergic to peanuts. I don’t know where he gets that from because his mom’s always saying that he isn’t but, you know, I never wanted to risk giving him some and have him get a allergic reaction, so I just took his words for it.

Yesterday, I went to a bakery before work and bought myself a peanut butter cake to eat after lunch.

My boyfriend surprised me at work during my break and wanted us to eat lunch together. I told him okay.

After we were done eating, my boyfriend saw the bakery bag with the cake and asked if he could have some, I said no as it was a peanut butter cake and I didn’t want him to have an allergic reaction.

That’s when he got mad at me for buying this even though he’s allergic to it, he said I wasn’t being respectful.

I told him that I bought it because we weren’t supposed to see each other until tonight, 6pm so I’d had time to brush my teeth and stuff and that I wasn’t planning on eating it in front of him.

He said that I shouldn’t have bought it at all, no matter when we were supposed to see each other because it was selfish and as his girlfriend, I shouldn’t be eating what I know he can’t eat.

I think it’s not fair that I shouldn’t eat something that I like because he’s allergic to it. Obviously I don’t eat that when I’m with him but we weren’t supposed to see each other of the whole afternoon, so I thought it’d be a good occasion to have a peanut butter cake.

AITA? Maybe it was selfish to buy something I know he’s allergic to.
