TLDR: My bf (27m) and I (24f) hosted a Hamilton dinner and watch party in which I cooked only to have one of his friends have pizzas delivered to our house.
Let me start by saying I love hosting dinner parties and cooking. It brings me so much joy and I love doing it. I also am obsessed with Hamilton, so when my boyfriend told me he wanted to host another couple for a watch party I was beyond excited. It's obviously COVID so I was excited to have a small group and do what I love, which is cook and host. I prepared the following: pink lemonade jello shots, a cheese board featuring prosciutto roses, shrimp scampi and key lime graham cracker cake. I was beyond proud of the meal.
Now for the guests (names have been changed).
Joyce (late 20s) and Matt (mid 30s): They are a wild couple, they fight all the time and its awkward. I do really like Joyce, and we have hung out with her a lot, but I do not like Matt. Everything was great until it was time to serve the scampi, Matt knew what the courses were because I told Joyce what we were having. He told me he did not like shrimp, which I understood and offered to serve him pasta without the shrimp, or prepare something different for him quickly. He declined and said he was fine with all of the other food. I thought great no problem then. We finished eating and started watching the film.
Towards the middle, Matt took a call and stepped out of the apartment. He came back with TWO pizzas. He created a huge scene in the middle of the film. I was beyond upset. I spent all day preparing everything and worked so hard, just for him to have pizza delivered. It ruined the rest of the evening for me.
I want to talk to Joyce and let her know how upset I was about the situation. I don't know if I should or not, but it really did crush me to work so hard and it was supposed to be a big deal because we haven't been able to do anything like this since quarantine started.
