Is this rude or insulting?

[Anonymous]

Your spouse texts you and asks if you're interested in eating so and so at Restaurant Y (a national chain).

You respond that no, you'd prefer to eat at home and don't want to spend money on that crap food.

Is that rude or insulting?

Rude
Meeting people is about people.

You could say, " I know I'm being a food snob but can we meet at Y"

If you are constantly changing plans you are a total pain.

The bold is fine. The second part is rude.

It is not rude to say "I'd prefer to eat at home". It IS rude to say " I'd rather eat at home and not eat that crap food". Presumably the other person likes that "crap food" and telling them you think it's awful serves no purpose other than to insult their taste.

I'm surprised you even have to ask this question.

Second part is insulting and condescending. You don't need to insult your spouse's choice of food. You can just say, I rather eat at X or home.

Not a chance of plans, I told him I was planning to eat at home earlier that day. I agree, I hate when people change plans at the last minute!

Are you the OP who upset her husband because she wouldn't eat a cheesecake factory burger?

Judging from your other thread, you and your husband are both immature and horrible at communication. You were rude. The fact that you can't see that is surprising. In the future just say "no thanks. Already have something planned to make at home. If you want to grab something though, feel free to! See you later tonight!!"

You seriously had to make another thread about this? Your husband is a saint for putting up with you.

Yes, it is. A simple no would suffice.

Why do we need 2 threads on this.

I agree with this assessment. You can say you prefer to eat at home without insulting the other person’s tastes.

Lol I think OP is a little dim. No wonder her husband just prefers not to talk to her. She must be maddening to deal with every day.

Because OP is a drama queen.

Soon he will be choosing to eat with someone else.
