Entitled to special treatment. A modern phenomenon. A good sign that you should move on to a different partner.

Second opinion from someone in a 25 year marriage: do not move to a different partner over a disagreement on onions. You'll be moving a lot.

Probably most people have some amount of annoying quirks.

My comment was not about the onions, but about the "you can eat this at home while I go and find myself some other food elsewhere." part of the story.

Really curious whether this said with sarcasm or not. I think everybody has their own idiosyncrasies and it is fine to accommodate to them a little.

Asking nicely and not protesting when they didn't manage is okay in my book, to be honest. That was not the problem. Having to experience stuff like these (everyone has their quirks) regularly and learning to deal with it is the hard part in a relationship, is what I'm saying.

Having to experience weird behaviour on a more or less regular basis is not how relationships are supposed to work, thats what I'm saying. There are spouses out there who treat their partner with respect and love, not like a tool to be used to fix up anoyances in life.

Weird behavior to you.

Never underestimate how much some people hate onions, and no they won't start up a new dating site to find people like themselves :)

edit: I later saw your comment stating what you reacted to, and yup, that part is mean indeed^^

Can you explain how lying to someone is a proof of respect and love?

What if it had been shellfish instead of onions and the person had suffered a life-threatening allergy resulting in anaphylactic shock?

shellfish -> New wife?

Thats my point. Certain people just love drama, and even want casual online discussions like this one to show how dangerous the world is, and how right picky people are in being right... Drama(queen)s all around, what would our world be without first-world problems...
