A woman on Reddit is airing out her frustrations with her husband, who refused to continue eating soup that she made him from scratch after he found out that it contained garlic.

On the popular Subredditr/TrueOffMyChest, Reddit user ginafar shared her story about putting a considerable amount of effort into preparing a meal for her picky eater husband, only for him to stop eating it based on the inclusion of one ingredient.

Things quickly turned when the woman explained her cooking process to her husband, though. “I was talking to him about making it and that I felt I might have been a little over the top with the garlic but that it’s still great. He instantly stopped eating the soup and said he didn’t like it, but that I should keep on making soup. WHAT?”

The user further noted that she was “so upset that after dinner I just tipped the rest of the soup down the drain and avoided him, I couldn’t face the argument after a long day.”

Although she maintained that she has “always been understanding of his aversion to food,” the user’s issue is that he “decided he doesn’t like it but doesn’t complain about the taste when he isn’t aware it’s one of the ingredients.”
