Last night, my girlfriend and I went out for dinner. After we finished eating, I wanted to order a specific dessert from the menu. This dessert was advertised as being for two people because of its large size. My girlfriend wasn't very hungry and preferred a different dessert, but I insisted on ordering the large one for myself. She became upset, saying that it was unhealthy and odd for one person to eat a dessert meant for two. She also mentioned it might be disrespectful to the restaurant.
We had a mild argument about this, and I ended up not getting the dessert I wanted.
So, am I the asshole for insisting on ordering a dessert meant for two people, even though I was going to eat it alone, especially when it upset my girlfriend?
