Woman Invites Newly-Married Son Over for Dinner, Cooks Nothing for His Vegan Wife

Despite knowing his wife's lifestyle, the mom "didn’t prepare a single vegan dish for her," her son writes, "except a soggy looking salad"

A man is upset that his mother invited him and his wife over for dinner — but failed to make anything his wife, a vegan, could actually eat.

In an anonymous post shared on Reddit, the man writes that he recently married his longterm fiancé, adding, "She and my mom [have] never really gotten along. I always hoped things would get better after the marriage."

Recently, his mom invited the newlywed couple over for dinner.

"Now, my wife is a vegan. She was a vegetarian before but switched to vegan a couple months ago," the man writes in his post. "My mom KNOWS she’s a vegan."

But despite knowing his wife's lifestyle, the mom "didn’t prepare a single vegan dish for her," the son writes, "except a soggy looking salad."

"Even the veggie soup, she added chicken broth to it, to make it 'tastier.' The rest was all non-vegan stuff like mac and cheese, fried chicken, jambalaya and banana pudding for dessert — all things my wife can't eat," he adds.

So, the man told his mom the couple would be leaving without eating anything — but his mom offered another option.

"My mom said she could just pick the shrimp out of the jambalaya and eat the salad. I told her that’s not how it works," he writes. "Then she she starts insisting the veggie soup was fine. I pointed out that it wasn’t vegan because of the chicken broth."

After his mom asked his wife if she could "just eat normally for one day," the man had had enough.

"My wife said no but she doesn’t mind just having the salad but I knew she was just trying to save the day and was fed up with how my mom was treating her, so I thanked my mom and told her we were leaving," he writes.

He continues: "My mom freaked out, she blamed us with being disrespectful, she said she spent hours cooking all that food for me. I told her that's the issue, she should’ve thought about Olga too. My mom said I was exaggerating because 'it’s not like she’s allergic or anything.' "

Now, the man wants to know if he was in the wrong for leaving before dinner, but overwhelmingly, commenters say his mom didn't treat his wife with respect.

"For your mom to not have cooked a single thing that Olga could eat is a massive power play," wrote one.

Added another: "You did the right thing. You stood up for your wife. Your mom's behavior is unwelcoming and extremely passive-aggressive (maybe just aggressive?). Importantly, and this is what I want you to focus on, your mom's behavior is these things only towards your wife."
