Man refuses to make coffee for girlfriend if she doesn’t stop “micromaniac” him

A man spill the beans about how his girlfriend’s “micromanaging” behavior is reason for him to stop making her morning coffee.

The 24-year-old boyfriend detailed on Reddits “Am I a ——” forum That his 23-year-old girlfriend’s “constant criticism” about how he prepares her cup of coffee has led him to tell her to do it herself.

“Normally we have a good routine: I wake up first, make coffee and she wakes up to a nice hot cup,” said the man about his girlfriend, whom he has been with for two years and has lived with for about six months.

“But recently she began to get really special,” he continued. “She insists on using this super -specific method: Measure the ground to the exact gram, the mug in the microwave for 30 seconds, add the milk at a certain temperature and further.”

After following these instructions, because he wanted to “make it nice for her,” he revealed that she began “micromanaging” process.

“It came to a point where every time I handed her over a cup, would she grill me:” Did you think first the basics? “” Did you warmed the mug? “” Is the whole milk or 2%? “” He remembers. “If something was off, even with a little bit, she sighed and said it was not as good as” the right way. “

“One morning she literally took the mug from me, dumped it into the sink and started the process herself – while she ranted that I never do it properly,” he continued. “I got frustrated and said to her: ‘If you will be so picky, just make your own coffee. I’m done doing something just to know how it is” wrong “every time.”

Then, as the boyfriend, his girlfriend was upset.

“(She) said I overreacted, that she just wants her coffee in a certain way and that I should respect her preferences,” he wrote. “I claimed that I respected her preference – I just didn’t appreciate the constant criticism or micromaniac. She accused me of being lazy and incomprehensible. “

Feels “guilty” but also “tired” of “constant review”, pondered the man if he would “suck it up and follow her super detailed instructions” and asked Redditors if he is “(a ——) for telling my girlfriend that I would not make her coffee anymore if she does not stop micromaniag me?”

His Saturday February 23, Reddit Post nets netted more than 2,000 responses within 24 hours, with many redditors who assured him that he is “NTA (not A ——).”

“NTA. If I ask my boyfriend to do something for me, I accept that it is a favor and I can’t be picky, ”commented a reader. “You can’t expect others to do nice things for you if you are nasty with your expectations of how they are ready. It’s so simple. She sounds like a job.”

Another Redditor replied that this could be a slippery slope.

“It’s pretty much a red flag on how the relationship goes,” emphasized the person. “The next time you make a meal and she throws it in the trash because it’s not right. It always starts with something small and in six months you make three different meals from scratch and she chooses which one is good enough. “
