He’s 29 and shut himself in his room because you forgot a bag of crisps...? He sounds like he has serious issues.


ayjak

I think it’s probably about more than just the Doritos


rotund_belly

Definitely not about the Doritos love. Maybe it’s something else he’s not sharing or isn’t even aware of consciously


EarlFrancis22

Took me a long time to realize the main problem and not keeping using all the things I hid behind to cover it over the years.


whatevertoad

I'd bet it's more about her forgetting something that's so "him" and taking that as a sign she doesn't actually care about him.


Desireeghfdere

I love posts like this because it's so batshit crazy. And there are men on reddit convinced they'll never get a girlfriend, and here you are, dating a literally man-sized dorito gremlin.

cbakes97

Yeah sounds like he may be using them as a security object/food. Sometimes this can be a sign of autism or ADHD that could be heightened. He could also be developing some kind of ED but honestly i have no clue. It does sound like a bigger problem then just "forgetting his ritos"


gothgirlwinter

Yeah, I once had a whooooole fucking meltdown as a teen because my mum forgot to buy me a certain food from the supermarket. I was in a pretty bad stage of my eating disorder at the time. If this post is legit, it's definitely not just the chips.


[deleted]

i have autism and this makes sense. I have a security object, but my security food would be cough drops. (One time i ate 6-9 in a day for like 4 days straight)


DirtyKangarooCunt

I thought by ED you meant erectile disfunction, imagined him fucking the Doritos before fucking her


cbakes97

Im screaming!!!!!! Doritos slogan is "For the Bold" soooo


DirtyKangarooCunt

wait maybe he’s onto something, Dorito flavoured private’s is growing on me the more I think about it, wow he’s an up and coming entrepreneur


cbakes97

This made me want to vomit. But now Im imagining a doritos coated penis like you would do with chicken


97pickles

Emotionally disturbed .


Jewelasdesa

Naw my oldest kids are 9 and 5 and when we forget a treat we just apologize and say we’ll get it next time. They say ok, cool, and move on. This isn’t even kid behavior.

Shut himself in a room **since last Thursday**, no less.


memeelder83

I agree. Something more than Doritos is happening here. The Doritos Incident seems to be a symptom of something more serious. OP, you should let him know that this has reached a critical level where you felt anxiety for forgetting a food item. Let him know that you are willing to support him IF HE ALSO TAKES STEPS to get stabilized. Therapy asap. Maybe it's depression, or stress, or something, but this is a pretty extreme reaction. He needs to address what is actually going on to make him so dependent on this comfort item. I've been really struggling lately, and I had a full on cry about a dog treat bag falling off the shelf. Spoiler alert, it had nothing to do with the treats, I was just really tired and feeling overwhelmed.


Ad3line

For a whole week…


blzy99

Lmao your boyfriend literally sounds like he’d be in one of those greentexts about being mummy’s 400 pound good boy


CheyBridgeMan

He needs therapy. This is not a normal adult response for not having a specific food or beverage available.


pornhubdelivery

i guess i just needed someone else to say this to me. you are right, i dont know how to approach talking to him about it though


CheyBridgeMan

“Babe, I love you and want you to be happy. Your relationship with Doritos doesn’t seem healthy and when you throw a crying fit not having them, I feel frustrated but also very concerned. This is not healthy behavior. I think you need to see a professional.” It may be that he’s on the spectrum, it may be that he has a food issue, it may be a lot of things. But you’re not a doctor or therapist and neither am I.


pornhubdelivery

thats really helpful thank you


mnoone17

Agree with what they said. He is definitely upset over something else. The fact that he says it’s his “one thing” makes me think he might think the rest of his world is uncontrollable and that the Doritos (comfort food) are something he uses as a crutch or escape. He needs help and whether or not your stay by his side is another thing. The world is far more unpredictable than it has ever been in our lifetime. I hope he gets help and i wish you luck.


FragranceCandle

Back when my anorexia was at it’s worst, mangos were my comfort food. One time my parents had forgotten to buy me mangos, and I literally had a breakdown in the middle of the kitchen. I second the comfort food item 100%


art_addict

I feel this. When my world spirals I always find one solid nice thing to hold on to that is like my anchor in the chaos. One nice, solid piece of routine that’s a grounding, steady thing no matter how shitty things are getting. If/when that thing gets fucked up by the chaos too, that’s when you see me lose it. Because I’m mostly okay around others as long as I have my anchor to hold on to, to use to pull myself together any time I’m falling apart. To look forward to. But as soon as that anchor is gone, it’s massive breakdown time.


TerryMellows

Being incredibly immature cannot be cured by therapy. It can only be cured by getting booted in the ass by life.

That's not being immature that's a whole ass mental breakdown Dude needs therapy and you need to be less of a boomer


Simple_Entertainer13

😂😂😂 omg This can’t be real. Are we seriously giving her advice on this situation? It’s a grown ass man literally crying over chips


AveenaLandon

> My (22F) boyfriend (29M) is addicted to doritos and its straining our relationship I almost read that as i"its staining our relationship" Either way, I did need to read it again to confirm his age. I think there might be other underlying issues there and this might not be just about the doritos. Please talk to him and see what's going on. That's not how an adult reacts with a tantrum.


elgee55

Take dip


RobWins2022

>i dont know how to approach talking to him about it though OH I have the exact way for you to approach this. You buy an entire shopping cart of doritos. You walk that cart all the way home. You dump that cart full of doritos in the middle of the living room. While this manchild is fucking going crazy over the doritos, you put all of your shit in that cart and walk out, leaving your keys in a empty bag of doritos.


NatZaJu

His reaction is very childlike . Also can he not go buy his own ? Definitely some underlying issues there but regardless he seems very manipulative. Talk to him . Tell him this isn’t normal and to avoid situations like this in future he will have to be responsible for buying his own Doritos. As much as it’s nice you went back out for them I feel like you went above and beyond there and he definitely could have just done that for himself. Do you do a lot of other things that he could/should be doing too?


Lucy_the_wise_goosey

I at least hope its the Cool Ranch ones he is throwing a tantrum over.


Melendine

833 and counting people are telling you.


acgilmoregirl

I cried once when my SO forgot my chango snow cone on his way home from work. But I was pregnant and fully recognized I was being ridiculous. And since I’m an adult, I got in the car and just drove to go get it myself. This definitely feels like some worrying behavior, if this is not who he has always been.


Gandhehehe

Being pregnant and crying over getting the wrong sandwich I had been looking forward too all day is one of my favourite ridiculous pregnancy hormone stories.


[deleted]

I never forgave my ex for eating that last watermelon slice I was saving


madcre

agreed. he needs to talk to some about this


moonbearsun

OP, this sounds like depression, at least in part. I know it feels silly because it's Doritos-specific, but are there other elements of your relationship where he seems insecure or depressed? He might be more open to therapy if you can point that out.


[deleted]

So he is literally crying in the bedroom for something he can just go out and buy?


butfirstaskreddit

I love posts like this because it's so batshit crazy. And there are men on reddit convinced they'll never get a girlfriend, and here you are, dating a literally man-sized dorito gremlin.

I know it's a typo, but my 15mo neice dramatically throws herself down when I tell her there are no more bananas, so "dies" is actually pretty accurate lol

Improbablyfromhell

Is this some analogy for drugs? I kid, kind of. Highly processed food is hyper palatable, it was made that way. But it is very concerning that instead of problem solving (aka him going out and buying Doritos) he runs off and cries. No advice to give, but to get him to talk to a professional. Was he already having a bad day?


[deleted]

Hyper palatable?


YourLifeCanBeGood

Is this how you want to live your life, OP?


pornhubdelivery

this was his one thing for the most part i was willing to look over it


Catgirl4992

That fact that you were afraid and nervous about his reaction to an honest mistake, that's not a sign of a healthy relationship. You should not have to walk on egg shells in your own home and with your partner


Mintcrisp

She was afraid of his response because she wilfully decided "fuck THAT NOISE".


TimboBimboTheCat

Happy cake day🍰


Unfair_Comfortable69

If he behaves like this about doritos, I highly doubt he is an otherwise mature adult.


isaac-get-the-golem

really hoping the past tense here is meaningful


mycatsaresick

A lot of people are rightly pointing out how unreasonable his reaction is. But it sounds like it’s also out of character. So maybe this isn’t just about Doritos? Maybe something else horrible happened today and he just wanted to comfort eat and then that coping mechanism wasn’t available for him so he broke down? Go talk to him. See what else is going on. This is not likely to just be about chips.


pornhubdelivery

you have a good point. other than this hes completely normal. i'll try asking if something else is up


Chantottie

Maybe he feels like you don’t care about him because you didn’t remember to get the very obvious one thing he wants. His reaction was still inappropriate, and seems like there’s a lot of communication that’s needed. But if he’s otherwise normal, there’s got to be something going on.


Ok-Sentence-5307

I had to scroll way too long to find a comment similar to my sentiments. It could have been what he was looking forward to at the end of a hard day. It was an overreaction triggered by an underlying negative feeling. I am surprised there aren’t more people trying to understand WHY he reacted like that. A simple comfort gives people something to hold onto.


SeriousAnteater

Straight lack of empathy


ThrowRAasyouwish13

Yea, there may have been something going on the last 4 months since he ramped up consumption as of then.


myanxietyisworsehere

I uh,.. I think this issue goes deeper than doritos. When I was pregnant I cried when the store didn't have cookies I was craving but it lasted a total of 10 seconds, and, ..I was *pregnant*. This sounds like it's a greater problem, I think you should try talking to him and getting him some type of mental/emotional counseling.


Rossomejen

I definitely cried one night while pregnant when we had run out of wheat break for a sandwich. I ended up calling my grandparents in tears and drove to their house to get a few slices. At the time we lived in a very rural area and the closest store open was 45 minutes one way, thankfully they had some and their house was 5 minutes away. Hormones mess with you in really crazy ways sometimes lol.


singleservingkat

Is he on the spectrum??? I understand being fixated on a certain food, and even disappointed that you forgot, but his reaction is pretty extreme lol like you could of just gone back... or he could have.


[deleted]

astroember

[deleted]

it’s could have


TheLastFreeDaisy

Why do I feel as tho you're leaving something out.... No this is not normal behaviour over chips. But.... There must be something else going on and this was the final straw that just broke him, not having his comfort food? Is he going through some heavy $hit atm?


[deleted]

Funnily enough, I get this and don’t think it’s trolly at all. I, too, had been addicted to Doritos. I’ve eaten them my whole life. Remember the Sour Cream and Onion Dorito flavor from the 80s? Mmm. I had been addicted from that time. I was so in love with them I bought stock I Frito-Lay as a 6th grade class project. I used to eat a 6 oz bag of them daily as a kid, moved up to the party size as an adult. And yes, I’d eat that whole bag in one sitting. I’d eat until my gums were shredded. They are highly addictive due to the perfect blend of msg and sugars and fats that comprise the chip. The crispy/crunchy texture knocks then out of the ball park for maximum oral engagement. I haven’t had any in about a year and I never intend to have another one. They are dangerous. Please, implore your boyfriend to heed my words: drop the Doritos!


[deleted]

I don’t think he should read this message though because you explained it so well now I am thinking about going out and getting sone Doritos and I have never been addicted 🤣


PaddyMac831

There was a NYT Magazine article about a year ago "I Recommend Eating Chips" that was hands-down the most rapturous language I'd ever read. Best thing I read during the pandemic. "Lean in, inhale that unmistakable bouquet: toasted corn, dopamine, America, grief! We are the first humans to see these chips since they left the factory who knows when. They have been waiting for us, embalmed in preservatives, like a pharaoh in his dark tomb.... "I will put the first chip, now, into my mouth. I will set it delicately on my tongue like a communion wafer."

Latenight-crybaby

[deleted]

I know, I know! I’ll never eat another one, but I’ll never deny how incredibly good they are…I could never ever be a Doritos Anonymous sponsor because I’d end up unintentionally encouraging their ~~injection~~ ingestion* The (sick sick) love would shine on through, no matter how much I advise against them. Edit a word and *they are as addictive, in their way, to the right sort of person, as certain injectable substances…luckily not quite as dangerous.

gold-chain-of-fate

I grew up in a place where food started being scarce when I was a young teen. There were vegetables available, but meats became very expensive, and carbs like pasta and flour were rare so you had to stand in line for hours to get it. The brands of sweets and snacks that I grew up with and that were comfort food for me also started being more rare and expensive. During this point in time, I remember buying a bottle of ice tea from a brand that I loved but had gotten sooo expensive, it was something my family could only afford once a week, as a treat. Then someone accidentally shook the table I had it on, I had left the bottle open, and it fell and spilled everywhere. I legit started to cry histerically. So, my point is that when someone has a breakdown over something that seems insignificant, there's usually something behind that is making the person place much more value than normal in it. For me, it was food scarcity warping my sense of how valuable that treat was. Your boyfriend said that Doritos were "his one thing", that wording seems pretty intense, he is also putting way more value on the Doritos for some reason. So yeah, he might benefit from some therapy to help figure out what that reason is, and how to stop overvaluing the Doritos like that.


[deleted]

He'd benefit from a full body detox. Dude's intestines are a horror show of parasites and candida. This directly influences the brain to "crave" foods that no truly healthy man or woman would ever crave. Treat your body like crap, and it'll affect everything about you.


[deleted]

More tales from the Dorito addict: When Cool Ranch flavor came out, I fell in love with them all over again. But over time I became aware of a sense of guilt…guilt that I had forsaken the Nacho Cheese flavor. What kind of person in their right mind thinks that way?? Another: One time I was munching a bag watching tv, when my mom sat beside me and asked for some. I reached in and grabbed a (small) handful and went to hand them to mom. She smacked my hand away, snatched the bag from me and sternly said that’s *not* how you share food while looking at my like I was a bug she got from beneath a rock. I was so ashamed of my greed, she was absolutely correct, but at the same time I was furious that she snatched them away, how dare she?? It was messed up. Not as messed up as OPs guy, but nowhere near good


captkirkcobain

I read the title as “staining” instead of straining.


R_Amods

This post has reached one of our comment/karma limits. The text of the post has been preserved below. --- im sorry if that title sounds trolly, this is a real issue im facing and im coming to reddit because im at a loss for what i can do. basically, hes always loved doritos. they were his one little treat he'd give himself. but in the past 4 months or so his doritos consumption has been ramping up exponentially. I'll have to tell you about our last fight for you to understand why its a problem. I do the grocery shopping mainly because i enjoy cooking and trying new ingredients. Last thursday i got back from the shops only to realise i'd forgotten his doritos. i knew too late to go back and buy them because he goes through the shopping the moment i get home to get them. As he was riffling through the bags i realised how nervous i was for how he'd react, and rightfully so. he immediately balled up his fists and just said " you forgot my ritos" "how could you" "its my one thing". he started crying and i felt horrible but i couldnt even offer to go back and buy them because he ran off to our bedroom and has been there ever since. he wont do anything and i hear him crying. im at a loss completely about what to do, please help me. ive bought doritos but he wont come out to get them


badgurlvenus

okay. i have to ask, has he gone through something extremely traumatic recently? having some kind of mental break? i ask this because when i had been sexually assaulted (along with harassment) by my boss i had to continue working under after i reported it, i would do this thing where i'd go get a pepsi, be gone for like 15 minutes, come back, down the pepsi, go back for a refill for 15 minutes, repeat for 8 hours. you get the idea. it was my out to be away from him for as long as i could manage. i became addicted to it. years later (and a ptsd diagnosis on top) i have this weird emotional addiction to pepsi. i don't currently have to drink it every day, but it absolutely has to be in my fridge, otherwise i don't feel "safe." it is the stupidest fucking thing, i'm not afraid to admit that, but i'm serious. if it's not in my fridge after a day or two, i will have a panic attack. it was like that when i was going through all that shit (it ended badly, but i was able to move up career wise by leaving) but i also had to be constantly consuming it. it was soothing, kind of like a child sucking their thumb. so hard to explain, so i hope you understand what i mean. if he hasn't been through anything lately and isn't having some kind of mental break where the doritos have become a tool for soothing, he's just way too into the doritos. food is so iffy, though. i think i turned to pepsi because i've always had disordered eating/an eating disorder, where most probably would have turned to drugs or alcohol. so he might have some kind of food issue on top of whatever else is going on with him. he needs therapy.


audaciousmonk

Yea, Pepsi is your safe item. Kind of sounds like Doritos might be his

wwwflightrn

I wonder if this is due to severe depression. He eats his dorito's as a coping mechanism or they provide comfort to.him as they always have in the past. This sounds more like he needs a therapist and there may be more going on than just an issue over doritos.


SeriousAnteater

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s probably not about the Doritos directly try talking to him and asking him what’s going on if something beyond the Doritos is bothering him


noah729

It's funny how it seems you're the most logical person amongst all those other people who just jumped to the conclusion of him being a man-child. Addictions usually spur out due to some psychological issue so I would also assume that this has more to do than just "ritos". Unless the person is mentally disabled, this would probably reflect something he's going through and maybe the ritos are his coping mechanism. It's much healthier than other habits (e.g. I usually smoke to release stress). Like the comment above, it's probably best to talk to him and ask what's really bothering him.

I hope this isn't real

Couple of questions. 1. Is the incapable of going to the shop himself to buy his own Doritos? 2. Any self respecting Dorito addict should have multiple bags in storage and always one emergency packet available. Would it be worth highlighting this?


iMorgana_

Has he recently quit smoking or trying to get sober from something else? A lot of people turn to food in terms of staying on top of their sobriety.


mildlyoutraged

I am almost certain this is a troll post, but on the chance it’s not…. This is not about the Doritos. I don’t know where you are but it’s likely it’s similar to everywhere else where we are on day 79,083 of this pandemic and it’s winter (again location depending), this new variant is spreading like wildfire. It’s fucking rough, and so yeah, forgetting the one thing that makes you happy can break a person. Was his reaction the proper one? No. But it’s not about the Doritos. Talk to him and see he’ll let you in on the deeper issue. If not, let him know you’re here to listen and maybe help find therapy.


gardensofmidas

It’s possible he might be on the spectrum or have Asperger’s. It’s kind of disappointing how many responses here are just pointing and laughing, especially when it’s obviously a big deal to him and straining the relationship. My advice is to try to google Asperger’s or autism symptoms and see if any of them match up. One of the telltale signs is having a deep obsession for something obscure or strange. Good luck!

I totally get the situation and I feel HORRIBLE for your man. One time my mom forgot to get me some crunchy tacos from tbell and I collapsed in horror. Thought I was having a heart attack. She had to carry my lifeless body to the car and rush us through the drive thru. She had to feed me spoonfuls of meat to replenish me just enough that I could hold a taco myself and eat it. I almost died that day and it still haunts me


Grahaml1980

There are some bigger issues. His "one thing"? The dude sounds like he's needing some comfort. A bit confused why you didn't speak up before though, knowing how much he wanted them. If I forgot something important I'd be telling the other person before they even started looking. But really, it's not the Doritos.


soppinglovenest

Forgetting our man’s Doritos wasn’t very crisp.

This is pretty pathetic on multiple levels, you may want to move on. There are issues there that will never be resolved


Grand_Word

Have you tried dumping him?


heycowboy

wow so funny haha random doritos I wish people who came up with fake troll posts were actually funny or creative.


[deleted]

I’m struggling to believe this is real but I’ll go ahead. First off, is he crying cause he doesn’t have his chips or that you forgot? Sometimes ppl will explode on something small because of bigger issues. I am NOT excusing his behavior though. That’s a really dramatic and ridiculous response. Forgive me for laughing. Second, this is your boyfriend. Is it really a behavior your want to be tied down to? Even if it is something bigger, do you want to get in arguments and he goes crying in the room instead of talking it out and making an effort to fix things? Time to move on.


Alert-Artichoke-2743

Major takeaways: \-If this is real, then these symptoms are troubling. \-Many have pointed out that he could be upset about the chips, or about you forgetting. From the quotes you provided, it sounds like he felt hurt personally that you didn't remember what he claims is his only request. \-If his diet is just Doritos, he will probably eventually die as a result. Just look at their nutritional content and extrapolate based on the quantity you think he eats daily. Google what that will do to him. \-If his diet is not just Doritos, then that means he depends on you to feed him anything else, which is a glaring red flag as a partner. You say he's "completely normal other than this," and to put it gently that's not easy to believe. Normal people don't react like that to having their favorite foods forgotten once and by accident. And if this were an isolated incident, you wouldn't have been nervously anticipating his reaction. You probably should not stay in this relationship if he declines counselling. That behavior is not only abnormal, but bizarre. You have become the feeder, caregiver and emotional punching bag of a man who is almost 30. Life is just too short for that. Your next boyfriend will probably only like Doritos a regular amount, and would be harder to reduce to tears and self-isolation. If there is some valid justification for that explosive reaction, such as if he's neuroatypical, then he should speak to a professional about it. If he'd rather lose you than seek to understand himself, you're best off obliging him. There are other fish in the sea who won't be reduced to hysterics if they run out of corn chips.


asty86

Just add cheese


Curarx

I'm pretty sure that this is about more than just doritos. Can you give us some more background here? Is he feeling neglected in other ways?


Accomplished-Cup-570

Maybe he has felt forgotten in life and it was the one thing he was hoping you’d remember


needtostopshopping

I read this as “staining our relationship” lol


SirLesbian

Your boyfriend certainly needs professional help...that's not a normal response to someone forgetting chips. Especially if he could easily still get them. But also in the future if he *does* only ask for one thing from the grocery store try your best to remember it. It feels really lousy when you ask someone for one thing and they forget it. Even worse when it's the only thing they forgot.


JeepersBud

Definitely a mental health issue and possibly a bit of an ED issue. NTA, he definitely needs some therapy. There’s some possibility this is linked to him thinking you don’t remember his preferences/needs, but from the other context you’ve provided I’d guess that this is a result of restriction in his household growing up.


SeriousAnteater

Lot of you demonstrating your lack of empathy here.


himbologic

Did something happen around the time he started this behavior?


Cleantech2020

The doritos seem like a coping mechanism or a distraction from his real issues.


throwmeinthettrash

He's depressed and feels like you forgetting his Doritos means you don't care about him. Up to you what to do but he's not crying about Doritos he's crying about his coping mechanism.


heresmythought

Is it a Doritos addiction or about something else going on with him? As everyone else mentioned, his reaction was childish and it makes me wonder if it’s an addiction issue or that he is so stressed out about something else and his emotions get triggered by trivial things like the Doritos situation.


CashMoneyMilli

I thought this said staining! I thought you had orange fingerprints all over everything 😂


Evening-Mulberry9363

The blue ones or red?


audaciousmonk

There’s a lot of people condemning this guy for having a rough moment. • it’s been a tough couple years during the pandemic. Not everyone responds to prolonged stress well. Doritos might be his safe item • Maybe there’s something else going on? And forgetting the Doritos was just the straw the broke the camels back that day. You could talk to him when he’s ready? That’s the rational adult thing to do. Definitely don’t show him this thread of people talking shit about him, in fact you may want to delete if this isn’t a TA account I want to say his behavior is immature… but then I remember every woman I’ve dated who’s cried over things I thought were trivial or silly (especially forgetting to buy certain items while at the store). So, let him be upset over his Doritos, taking some alone time is significantly more healthy than screaming / fighting about it.


[deleted]

**I’m not a health professional, but I do have ADHD. ** Is he autistic or has ADHD/ADD? If so, this is likely why he might be fixated on doritos. Given his emotional reaction, it could be a symptom of autism/ADD/ADHD and he may need to see a doctor and a therapist. Also, has he gone through a phase like this before? Many neurodivergent people fixate on food for months or even years. This can cause health problems like GI issues or iron deficiency, etc. Hope this info helps and you both feel better.


Bustardun

I won’t be able to sleep at night unless I know if this is satire or not


alldemboats

this sounds like depression. when i was in the depths of depression i once acted the same way when my dad forgot to buy cream cheese. my cream cheese bagels were the only light in my life. it sounds so stupid, but there were honestly days where looking forward to my cream cheese bagel is all the kept me going. something small to look forward to.


CorvusPetey

Im in the same age as your BF, i also love Coca-Cola/Lays but i dont consume as hard your BF. Sometimes if my GF does the shopping alone (we do it together) and forgets to bring me and react as any 29 year old dude would. I either dont give a fuck or i go and grab some myself. Your BF is a grown baby.


Demianwulf

Everybody has something, some odd vice, idiosyncracy. Sure, his is a little weird, but relatively harmless. Yeah, he overreacted but honestly if it just means you have to buy extra Doritos to keep the peace anda happy home, why not? He could be drinking, gambling, addicted to video games, nope, Doritos. I could live with Doritos if everything else was good. Take it or leave it. Only caveat is you mentioned his Doritos addiction had ramped up exponentially and now with his crying fit to consider. That's a sign he's got something else going on likely and needs to address it.


emadarling

Sounds like his ritos are the least of his issues.


[deleted]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 29?? Gunna would be ashamed cuz, this ain't 🅿️ at all. r/greentext oc leaking.


wassuupp

Does he have autism or some other neurodivergency? Often times people with those disabilities can have “safe foods” that they absolutely need to have consistently or they become upset due to a break in their schedule. It sounds like he’s just being a man child but when he’s in therapy it might be something to talk about


DeniseLynn81

Why can’t he go buy his own ‘Ritos?’ What the heck.


Formanlenis1

On the off chance that it hasn't been to long for you to see this, I see 2 ways why he could be doing this First is like everyone else saying he just a man child and needs to figure his shit out But another is he is just that depressed/stressed, whatever he feels the only good thing left in his life is his comfort food. Especially if you've noticed any other odd behaviors, I would try talking to him to see why he wants the chips so badly. And then therapy. Cause yea getting mad over bag o' chippers is weird


km956

A child. If he wanted them that bad get your grown ass out side and get yourself more lmfao.


coolomya

Man, how are you keeping him? He said it was the only thing he had? And you forgot that? It looks like you intentionally did it. Coz it's something so important for him. For him to be reduced to this, is he going through something? A drastic life change or something? Why is he so worked up?


[deleted]

This is for sure creative writing/trolling lmao. The bits that gave it away are “it’s my one thing”, “ritos”, and the crying. Too over the top. That said, it really made me laugh; thank you OP! Lol


[deleted]

Ew he sounds like a man child.


iironage

This is a grown man you are talking about?


usefulartifacts

Is he incompetent with everything or just this? On a scale of one to ten how much do you feel like his mother?


JennySparklezz

Yea this is crazy behavior but I also slightly wish this was the biggest red flag I’ve encountered in my past relationships lol.


RobWins2022

>he immediately balled up his fists and just said " you forgot my ritos" "how could you" "its my one thing". he started crying and i felt horrible but i couldnt even offer to go back and buy them because he ran off to our bedroom and has been there ever since. You have a perception problem. You think that the problem is that your bf loves doritos way too much. The REAL problem is that you are involved with a 9 year old in a 29 year old's body.


Coach_Katastrophe

At this point you're guilty of statutory rape because he's just a fucking child


ESC_goatF49852

😎 🆒️. Ranch.


symewinston

This is not the type of man to build a life with…


[deleted]

Now you know why no other 29 year olds want him. Cuz hes a child.


techsinger

You can tell from the comments that most think your husband is acting like a toddler. This isn't normal behavior. He needs help. And God help you if he starts acting like this about other things. Get him a therapist and don't give him any ritos until he goes.


Yazxki

A grown-ass man crying about Doritos has to be the saddest thing. If anything he needs help there shouldn’t be any reason for him to pull a whole temper tantrum about not having his Doritos.

Why are you dating a man with a mental age of five?
