'She was furious': Dude has a meltdown over spicy food and ruins his wife's birthday, wonders if he's wrong

One thing's for sure in this story… This guy needs to drink a glass of milk and cool off.

It's important to remember that things aren't always about you; you need to let other people in your life have their moment in the limelight, especially during times when it is literally all about them. These times include (but aren't limited to) weddings, birthdays, and funerals—any time that your job is to be there for someone else. Taking it upon yourself to claim the spotlight will only ensure that you aren't invited in the future.

This husband refused to let his wife have things her way on her birthday. All she wanted to do was go to dinner at a restaurant that specialized in the style of food from the region in China where she grew up. He doesn't like "spicy" food, and she had to beg him to go with her. When the food came, it was too spicy for his liking, he began to make a scene—sending (perfectly good) food back to the kitchen, demanding less spicy dishes. After his wife told him to just eat the rice (since that's the only food his delicate palate could handle), he got up and left in a huff—solidifying his wife's humiliation.

The husband turned to the internet to see whether or not he was in the wrong for ruining his wife's birthday, and since his own version of events does little to paint him in a positive light, it's hard to imagine how brutal this scene was to witness in real-time.
