🍽️ Meal Planning Madness: A Couple's Kitchen Clash! 🔥

Yikes! Looks like this couple's kitchen is heating up, and it's not just the stove! Our laid-back lad just wants to live in the moment when it comes to his meals, but his girlfriend is all about planning life! She's constantly grilling him about what he wants to eat, pushing for weekly meal charts, and even asking for grocery lists! But our guy? He's not having it. He's a grown man who can fend for himself in the food department, thank you very much! Despite his girlfriend's insistence on planning and ingredient coordination, he's standing his ground. No Excel sheets for this dude! Now, the question is on everyone's mind.

Meal planning shamed as weird obsession! YTA 🙄
