Today is my boyfriend’s birthday, the coffee shop down the road does birthday glitter in your drink for free. I thought it would be cool to get him a drink with the glitter in it because it just looks cool. I thought he would think the same.

Well I came home, glitter Red Bull infusion in hand and he just does not want it at all. Wont even try it. He says “why would I drink a drink with glitter in it” and I told him because it looks cool and doesn’t affect the flavor of the drink. He’s just refusing to because of the glitter and because it doesn’t look right.

Now I feel bad. I thought he would think it looks cool or thought it was funny (we joke about how he always has glitter on his body but I don’t wear glitter, that’s what I was going for. “You can’t escape the glitter” sort of thing) but he won’t even touch the drink. I offered to go to the coffee shop again and get him a new one, he said no it’s a waste of money. And now I feel like I ruined his birthday because of this stupid idea I had

TL;DR: Bought my boyfriend a drink with glitter in it for his birthday, he refuses to even touch it

UPDATE: I have been asked for an update. I’ll make it quick because I’m supposed to be playing games with my boyfriend right now.

To everyone who says he’s cheating on me:

I don’t believe he is. The glitter was suspicious at first. But it’s a very very fine glitter, so I went to check my makeup bag to see if it could be anything in there. Lo and behold my eyeliner pen (that has glitter in it) didn’t have a cap and has been rubbing raw in my makeup bag. Everything in there has some glitter on it.

Those who are saying he is abusive:

Please understand that this is just glitter in a drink. He never yelled at me, insulted me, or hit me. We didn’t even argue over it he just simply refused to drink it. He isn’t abusive. I find it out of pocket for some people to just outright say he is abusive. Especially if there are people out there who are actually in abusive relationships.

To those who say I’m forcing him to drink glitter:

Please believe me when I tell you I cannot force this man to do shit. He is stubborn. And almost 100lbs more than I am so forcing him isn’t really possible.

Now that I have gotten those out of the way, here’s the actual update:

We talked about it, I told him that I just didn’t feel appreciated. He said he appreciated the gesture but the glitter in the drink caught him off guard and it doesn’t look like the normal drink he gets so he couldn’t bring himself to drink it.

We aren’t mad at each other. I AM overdramatic, I have always been a very emotional person. After talking I feel dumb for thinking I ruined his birthday (as I should). We are now playing videogames together enjoying reading some of the comments under this post, and later tonight we’re going to dispo and going out to dinner. I love my boyfriend and he loves me, this was just a silly mistake I made (which ended up benefiting me because now I have a glittery drink). I’m not going to say we made up, because there was no fight to begin with.

And to those who were looking for the update where I say I found out he is cheating on me and we are now broken up, sorry to burst your bubble, but that isn’t the ending for this story!

AND to those saying this post is fake:

Believe what you want I guess, I feel like this is such an odd thing to post, people wouldn’t think it’s fake? But I guess Reddit does have a lot of fake posts so now redditors have trust issues.

EDIT: TL;DR: We love each other, nobody is cheating, nobody is abusive, we are now playing videogames together and we talked it through ☺️
