Today, I was food shamed by my boyfriend in front of an entire restaurant and his parents because my meal cost more than his. His mom chimed in saying her meal usually costs more than his step dad's too and not to be upset. I'm 8 months pregnant, of course mine costs more. FML

Pregnant or not who gives a ****?! Unless you ordered $100 food which I doubt. My meals always end up cheaper because most of the time the others order steak or something and I just get what I like which works out cheaper.

Could mean that you have a better taste in food than him too.

It all depends on what you ordered and the amount. But keep in mind you dont really need to gain much fat. The extra weight should mainly come from the baby itself, placenta, fluids etc.

see my boyfriend hates seafood and I love it so typically when we go out he gets a burger and I get shrimp making mine usually cost more it's just the person's preference and sometimes it's even where you go to eat. but shaming you is not okay that is why people have eating disorders and that would be a Scarry thing to have while pregnant

I know this is off topic, but your 8 months pregnant but not married?

Does he frequently do things like this to you? Shame you, put you down, berate you, try to make you feel guilty, etc, in private or in public? If so, OP, then I am worried for you and your soon-to-be-baby, because it sounds like you are being abused, and I urge you to seek help and/or leave him. If, on the other hand, this was a one-time thing, then there's something else going on that triggered it. I'm not saying it was OK - it's *never* OK to act like this. But I suggest talking with him in private, telling him how it made you feel and how it was not like him to act this way, and asking him what's going on. Maybe he's stressed about finances with a baby on the way?

he should be more understanding that you're eating for two and stop being so cheap. I have a feeling he's going to spend a lot more on his future child than a dinner with his wife.

BIG RED FLAG, he should be your ex boyfriend today. His parents should have slapped him for even bringing it up but since they did not this will only get worse for you. leave him, get court ordered child support. Get on with your life.

Love reading comments - if we aren't shaming OP or OPs peers, we are shaming each other and in this particular one, shaming people for shaming others. How very meta.

Lmao, why he gives a **** whether your food costs more or not is ******* way beyond me.

Pregnant women doesn't eat more than normal women - that's a myth. The baby gets nutrition from moms food. When that is said, who effing cares? It's sad that you're having a child with a guy like this, and I seriously hope it was just a joke or something similar.

Wrong. Preggo here, 300 extra calories a day. So a side salad, soup, yogurt and fruit ect. One extra snack, or an extra side with dinner. Read a book.
