She reached into the bag and saw there was barely any fries left. She claims there were maybe ten fries in the container and whatever was in the bottom of the bag. There were about a quarter of the fries left.

Despite her boyfriend’s apologies, OP says she wanted a real apology and acknowledgment of her feelings. They settled on that he thought that a quarter of the fries was enough for her since she said she didn’t want many. 

Who is at Fault? The Readers Respond

Some readers advised that french fries should always be plentiful so order more than you think, rendering everybody at fault.

“When will people learn this lesson? Order more fries than you think you need because smelling them is going to turn people into potato devouring gremlins.”

Doesn’t He Know How to Share?

Some readers wondered how he doesn’t understand what “sharing” means. It typically means something is split in half.

“He knew he was eating all the fries, he knew you two were sharing them. He then gave excuses that are clearly lies- oh I figured you just wanted a quarter of the fries- and we know they are lies because he didn’t know there were hidden extra fries in the bag, so he didn’t save you a quarter of the fries, you stopped him before he could eat ALL of them, and when you say you are sharing something, that means 50/50 unless otherwise discussed.”

Many suggested she not even consider sharing with him again.

“Next time/every time… get your own fries or whatever. Even if it’s cheaper to split a large than two smaller ones. And don’t share, because your fellow obviously doesn’t know how to share. WTF, he ate almost all the fries, (as far as he knew, not noticing the ones in the bottom of the bag!), before you even got home. Even though he knew you wanted some.”

Are There Some Underlying Issues?

He already apologized twice and yet it still wasn’t enough for OP. Is she harboring resentment from past arguments in the relationship?

“Yeah he ate your fries but he apologized right away and you just continued to berate him. “i want a real apology” is such bull, you GOT an apology, you just decided he didn’t feel bad enough about it and needed to keep apologizing until he’d groveled enough.”
