I'd scrape off the burnt part, too. But I wouldn't object if she preferred to toss hers out. Live and let live.

Your SO is out of line for over-reacting so intensely to what you did.

And she was like "what are you doing, the bagels are burnt." I just took the bagels went over the sink and started scraping the burnt part. As i was scraping the burnt parts, my SO was giving me these wierd looks and telling me im a bum. After i was done, she was like "if you ever do that again, i will have to leave your broke self"... so yeah, i mean, wtf, they were perfectly good bagels, and ill be damned to waste food.

Cliffs:
1. SO burnt bagels
2. i prevent her from throwing it out, and begin to scrap the burnt part off
3. she calls me a bum
4. she threatens to leave me

Your SO overreacted. But it is possibly because you act like a cheap skate most of the time, and this time she couldn't ignore it. I know some guys that are really miserly even though they have cash. They skimp on tipping and pay only the minimum, and then I end up paying more to cover their tip. Don't hang out with them anymore because of that crap.

Ex.: They order a meal and drink for. The meal costs 8.50, the drink costs about 1.50. They ended up just putting down 10 with change (It wouldn't even cover the tax). It got pretty ridiculous. If you act like that, maybe she is just acting out now.

***EDIT***

Definitely nothing wrong with eating a burnt bagel, either she is PMSing, or she reacted to the way you act all the time.

i learned in anthropology class that women are always looking for a concencus (or agreement) from men. if you would have agreed with her then she would have been neutral probably. if you argue or try to make a point they don't like it.

this is according to my teacher though, not me. i believe it though, lol :)

i think you are both crazy.

That is why I am single. Girls are manipulative and hard-headed. Guys are hard-headed, but not as manipulative, mostly because we don't care as much about the social aspect of it, what other people believe. Girls are hard-headed, and they care enough about what other people believe and think that they will socially manipulate a situation their way. I see it all the time, and it is so annoying, especially when they are the controlling type.

If she's paying the grocery bills, she can do what she wants. If you are, I'd consider leaving her spoiled brat a$$.

She sounds like one of the ATOT "dump her" crowd.

BTW, I'm not even near you and my PMS meter is going off something fierce. Is this a possibility?

You did a great thing. Explain to her the conditions people go through in other countries and even in America. Many people would gladly eat that bagel, such as yourself. I would probably have ate it myself.

I agree that wasting food is usually not a good idea.

She's reasonable, you're a cheap ass.

A bagel is worth like 75 cents and will taste like sh!t if it's burnt. I'd throw it out and make another one, too.

It doesn't even sound like it was that burnt.. plus I like my bagels extra toasty so depending on how burnt it was I probably wouldn't have scraped anything off.
