Family practices can be odd, especially if you’re dealing with individuals from various cultures and places. Having that said, you should also treat others with basic courtesy and a certain bit of tolerance if they don’t grasp your expectations. Because every practices and culture are different all around the world.

A woman described her experience having dinner with her boyfriend’s parents in a post on the “Am I The A**hole” topic of Reddit. The folks appeared to expect a formal supper, something OP had never attended. And most of you guys might be able to predict where this all is going.
Due to the way the OP handled the situation, her parents and partner now believe she is the AH. So what are you waiting for ladies and gentlemen? Keep on scrolling down below to read this story according to her own words. Make sure you guys read it till the end, otherwise you are not going to get the whole point here. Good Luck!
1. From the title we can observe OP’s nature, and we can even say that she’s a lovely lady too and she respects family traditions. Let’s see what happened next.
2. “Let us dig and let the food keep us quiet”
3. It’s more of an ethical thing than a cultural thing though, what do you think guys?
4. But isn’t it getting too intense now? I mean it’s a gathering and people talk at family table
5. A moment can turn into an awkward silence moment, and almost every one of us has encountered that in our life at least once.
6. Seeing the facts and the situation it turned out to be a super awkward situation
7. This is it, I was fearing that OP might not end up laughing lol and it happened. According to me, it’s not such a big deal but we let you guys decide in the end if she’s the A-hole.
8. A certain point comes when you cannot take it anymore whether it’s restrictions, fears, or depression. You just stand up for yourself and let others know that you weren’t feeling comfortable at that particular moment and there’s no shame in that. It’s natural.
9. Escalated it to a whole other level

14. And this is how OP replies back to cakesniffer
15. Korlat Eleint is speaking facts here
16. They just shut up, the audience are you familiar with polish people, are they really like that?
17. NTA
According to us, we think OP here is not an A-hole. Since she respects the practices and traditions of every religion it’s clear that she had no conflict with them but the situation of the weird silence made the moment super awkward. Which made OP react a bit strangely according to her boyfriend.
