How would you react if after you told your partner you were on a diet, they brought home donuts?

[Ultima]

One day you decide you are going to go on a diet, but then maybe a week later your partner brings home a box of donuts and forgot about you dieting.

Your reaction?

[lumos]

I wouldn't mind. Just because I'm dieting it doesn't mean he should never ever eat those things around me. A part of dieting is resisting temptation, and temptation will literally be everywhere no matter what you do.

Getting mad at someone for bringing home a box of donuts is stupid. Shows that you're not mentally strong enough to be able to resist, and that's not fun to admit, so you blame the other person for it. :P

[Eva_Grace]

People forget things, in a relationship you need to remember that we are only human and make mistakes. As part of your diet you will need to have self-control so just put them in the cabinet.

[Ultima]

hey he's not the one dieting so :P

[Eva_Grace]

Haha well I mean he should be respectful and help you a long as a partnership for getting fit, but if he forgets and accidentally buys donuts don't go all crazy girlfriend on him-- people make mistakes.

[koibito]

I'm gonna just ask him straight out. He better be giving a good response.

Is what I'd think my girl will do. Like that time I bought her an entire box of macarons but luckily she didn't say anything and just joked why I like macarons too?

Anyway this is nothing serious, I'll just laugh it away and make sure I don't do the same thing again, or she can prepare a penalty game for me if I make the same mistake lol.

I'd let them eat the donuts wtf? Obviously I'm not gonna get mad at someoen for not following my diet, and if I'm on a diet I can maintain it regardless of what people around me eat. What'd you expect people to say? "Oh you bought donuts? While I'm on a diet? Take your shit and get out honey!"...

[ninetynine]

At first, part of me would probably think, “Wow, what an insensitive jerk,” but then the more rational part would take over and understand that his decision to get a box of donuts -- which I’m assuming was for the both of us -- was not to torture me; he probably just forgot about my diet, which isn't a big deal. I’d probably give him the evil eye (in a jokey way) until he realized what he had just done!

[clarinetfreak993]

If they did it for me, I'd be touched, but I'd explain I can't really eat more than one, if any, and I appreciate the thought. If they just forgot, well, then, the donuts are for them not me and I'd have to gain some willpower and self control(which can be very difficult).

[Halay]

"Well, one donut can't hurt my diet can it..? Or two.. Or three.."

That being said I wouldn't get mad at him for an honest mistake (or even if he did it on purpose, it would just be funny lol).

And I'm not really good at keeping a diet as you can see.. :)

[523206720]

I'd be really angry. I had a friend who wanted to dine out at restaurants with me when I told her I was on a low carb diet. I almost dumped her as a friend.

[Ultima]

wow...

[Anonymous]

I would flip out and throw the whole box into the trash, throw the trash can out the door and scream at her about how much she wants to &$)# your life over.

Or I'd just assume she forgot and had the intention of being friendly...

Unless they're the maple ones. Those are pretty good.

[harveykinkle]

It would depend on intent.

Forgetting is fine.

One of my ex boyfriends would always sabotage my diet/exercise attempts because he was afraid I'd get hot and leave him. If this guy brought home donuts I'd be upset due to the jealousy/disrespect.

[m21irby]

My reaction would be absolutely nothing. If I was on a diet I would just tell them that I am on a diet and they better get started eating them before they go bad. :) This actually just happened to me about two months ago.

[confugirl]

I wouldn't mind, as long as he doesn't expect me to eat it with him and he doesn't buy sweets until he finishes the ones he has. I don't want a house full of sweets.

[COCOCHANEL]

i have never been one for donuts tbh ... I might eat one if they were of a variety I like

[neveryoumind]

Nothing. If he brings home doughnuts I am not going to scold him for doing that but he can eat it by himself. I need to learn self control and learn not to be phased by the presence of doughnuts lol.

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

They're not for dieting me and I won't eat them. If they did it on purpose: *my face* -_- Really though.

[MaskofInsanity]

I'd probably be all "damn you, sabotager!" and consume the said donuts.

[TangerineFire1]

I would thank him, have one bite. Then say they are all yours sweetheart.

[DaKila]

No reaction I think. I would just say "It's fine" and then just regulate the amount I eat.

[Rodismus]

I wouldn't care I can cook very well for myself so "sweets" and other sugary crap with the thought of I'm able to make something better tasting and healthier

[05Jueey]

I'd laugh, eat donuts and say "Well, guess I'm starting tomorrow!" ;)

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't think anything of it. I'd just assume she picked up some donuts because she wanted them and wouldn't think they are for me.

[Deviouscourage]

One of these 3 things. Joke about it, ignore it, or cheat and have one donut with her.

[Anonymous]

Donuts! My only diet plan has been to just not eat junk all the time.

[purplelavender]

Well I will eat a donut. Nothing wrong with a donut here and there
