So tonight I made the critical mistake of telling my girlfriend very calmly, I might add that her soup was “a little bland.” That’s all I said. I didn’t say it was bad, didn’t insult her cooking, just… offered an honest opinion when she asked.
She went dead silent, stared at me like I just insulted her entire bloodline, then stood up and launched the bowl across the room like she was in the Super Bowl. Soup everywhere. Glass shattered. My cat ran for his life.
I sat there stunned, because what do you even say after that? I go to get a towel, and she’s now yelling that I “never support her” and that my mom has “ruined me emotionally,” which came absolutely out of nowhere. I don’t even know how my mom got dragged into this. She just made soup.
When I tried to leave, she blocked the door crying and saying, “you always run when things get hard.” Girl. You just threw a ceramic bowl at me because I didn’t like soup.
I’m now sitting in my car with clam chowder on my shirt, wondering how my life reached this point. Any advice would be appreciated, Reddit. Because I’m starting to think soup should not be a combat sport.

At least you’re not married. Don’t have kids! Especially not with her. I suggest you end the relationship. It will not get better. This is as good as it gets.
I mean she sounds abusive. Are you always walking on eggshells trying not to trigger a “critical mistake”? I would move on.
That’s not just overreacting that’s violent. You gave honest feedback after being asked, and she responded by throwing a literal weapon. Might be time to ask yourself if you’re in a safe, healthy relationship. You deserve peace, not projectiles
This girl is fucking whacko and abusive. This should be an immediate breakup event. Serious red flags.
When soup turns into a weapon, it might be time to change the recipe starting with the relationship
So did she throw a glass at you, as the title says, or was it a ceramic bowl across the room? Was there glass everywhere from a ceramic bowl?
Run. Run. Run as fast as you can.
How old are you? Hurry up and run before wasting another year with this train wreck. You can love someone and still leave them because it’s not right for you. That’s part of life.
