Not really an equal comparison.  Her skipping the concert benefited you.  You skipping the pizza was of no benefit to her.

If her preference is that you should suffer too she is not a good person.

Yeah.  Why not give her the opportunity to be a "good girlfriend" who lets you eat what you want to eat instead of being so emotionally needy that she deprives you of a pleasure you are able to enjoy.

I think this would be different if we lived together. We cook maybe 1 meal together a week. If it weren't for the roommates, it would be simple to just make something she could eat-- the problem occurs when my roommates are cooking/ordering in something that she can't eat.

Last week we made gluten-free pancakes with walnuts and bananas, they were BALLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Something about her having to fend for herself for food while at my house just really rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah, you don't necessarily have to throw her to the wolves if you eat the pizza.

As a person with food allergies, I always appreciate it when my in-laws go the extra mile and are sure to have something I can eat while the rest of the family is chowing down on fried shrimp. When we were first married, my in-laws kept forgetting my shellgiraffe allergy, and we'd show up to the beach condo to stay a few days and, invariably, they'd be serving shrimp that night and didn't have anything else for me to eat. After eating cheerios for dinner the first time it happened, I learned to ask a few hours in advance what the supper plans were so that I could make a grocery run for a frozen pot pie or something if necessary.

I don't mind not having what everyone else is having, as long as I'm not left out of the meal entirely or have to forage my own hot pockets out of the depths of the freezer or something. Now my FIL usually pan-fries me a steak while the shrimp is cooking. It's not a big hassle for him, but just the fact that he remembers and buys me a small filet in advance makes me feel very welcome at the table.

Well there you go Inev.  Next time the boys come over with pizza you had better have a steak for the Mrs.

I'm glad we agree that JL is the arbiter of what is right in this situation.

So, ok, you guys win.

...dye my hair auburn.

October is a great month to dye your hair, because if it comes out wonky, you can just blame Halloween.

Any other month, you'd have to blame it on the Bossa Nova.

good lord, interviews are horrible. And I am very bad at them.

This one was particularly bad, though, because the guy interviewing me is my supervisor at my internship. He was only half-way listening to my answers, so I couldn't tell when I should stop talking.

(he also fabricated a response from one of my references who hadn't called him back yet?? Ummm...)

yeah, that's what I thought, and then he said that the final decision is made by the woman I would be working under, who will interview me soon.

Ash is absolutely right.

Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax".

Well you can relax anyway.  You've already psyched yourself out of going to the interview at all.
