Laura’s boyfriend makes him cut the crusts off of all of his sandwiches, even out at restaurants, because that’s how his mother always made them. Is this a red flag that he has mommy issues? Would you cut the crusts off your boyfriend’s sandwiches for him as an adult? Or would you run?
Ayla Brown: Good morning, Laura. I love when people text us because it’s a scary world in the text line, but also it brings us together. Good morning, Laura. We’re talking about red flags and what the heck is going on with sandwiches?
Laura: Yeah, I feel like this seems like I’m making too big of a deal of it, but it’s just weird. So I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for about four months, and he’s great. I mean, he’s a gentleman. He has a great job. And we just we mesh well. But there there’s this little thing where he insists that all the crusts on his sandwiches are cut off all the time.
Ayla Brown: All the time. So no crust on sandwiches. You’re having a peanut butter and jelly and there’s just no crust.
Laura: No crust. Yeah. And even for a nice bread, like an artisanal bread with nice crust, even that.
Ayla Brown: Is he a serial killer? I mean, why doesn’t he like crust on his sandwiches.
Laura: It’s really childish feeling. But again, it’s the one thing. So this is just quirky. And he’ll make me redo it, which is a little insulting. I feel a little too soon to be ordered around, but whatever. I mean, again, everything else is great.
Ayla Brown: Well, we’re talking red flags, so that’s definitely one, having someone send their sandwich back to you. So have you asked him? Because I know there are a lot of people out there that are probably thinking, okay, I don’t like crust on mine either. Have you asked him why?
Laura: Yes. I did. Why is it you just don’t like the crust? Like some kids? I mean, some adults don’t like it.
Ayla Brown: He’s acting like a child.
Laura: Ans he says with a straight face, I mean, that’s how my mom did it. Okay, I just accepted it. But then we went out to a restaurant. He ordered a nice sandwich. It came like a normal sandwich with the crust and looked delicious. Okay? And he insisted they send it back and was kind of a jerk about it.
Ayla Brown: Okay? Like if you go to Panera, for example, and you get a turkey sandwich, he tells the person at the front taking the order no crust, please. And then someone has to cut the crust for him. He won’t cut the crust in itself.
Laura: He says, No crust, please. We do get a lot of looks.
Ayla Brown: Okay. Red flag, red flag, red flag, red flag. Is he a mama’s boy or what? That’s a good question.
Laura: I don’t know. And I haven’t met his mom yet. I’m a little worried. It’s a little weird, and I don’t know what other mommy issues are there. Just might be lingering that I can’t even imagine.
