Husband says I can't have dinner because I served family first
The user, a 32-year-old woman who is six months pr****nt, describes a conflict with her 32-year-old husband over dinner. Her husband had cooked burgers on the grill, and she focused on plating food for their children first so it could cool down.
When she finally went to get her own plate after serving the children, her husband claimed there were no burgers left for her because she did not listen to him when he told her to serve herself first.
This escalated into an argument, leading the user to walk away, after which her husband followed her, blamed her for ruining dinner, and ultimately ate without her after she called him an 'a*shole'.
The user is now questioning if she overreacted and should apologize for her language, despite feeling hurt by his behavior.

The original poster (OP) is caught between feeling physically hungry and emotionally hurt by her husband's condescending language and refusal to share the available food, even when she was pr****nt and serving the children.
Her dilemma centers on whether her sharp reaction, calling him an 'a*shole,' justifies his subsequent actions of withholding food and blaming her for the situation.
The core debate is whether the husband's rigid enforcement of his instruction, coupled with a lack of consideration for her pregnancy and the availability of extra food, excuses the OP's use of offensive language, or if she should have prioritized de-escalation and simply taken a burger from the tray.
