OP made a homemade cheesy potato soup with broccoli for herself and graciously shared it with her roommate, Kris, and her boyfriend, Kyle. However, Kyle, who disliked broccoli, openly criticized the soup in front of OP twice. Offended by his remarks, OP decided Kyle was no longer welcome to eat her food. Kris later requested that OP make the soup without broccoli next time to accommodate Kyle’s preferences, but OP refused, saying his food preferences weren’t her concern. She argued that Kyle, who doesn’t even live there, shouldn’t make demands, and if he needed something specific, his girlfriend should make it for him, not OP.

OP hadn’t made the soup specifically for Kris and her boyfriend; she simply offered it as a polite gesture. Kyle’s critique in front of her was unnecessary, especially since she was just being considerate. If he didn’t like broccoli, he could have politely declined rather than complain, which understandably upset OP. They need to realize they weren’t in a restaurant where they could pick and choose ingredients—rejecting a kind offer so rudely was inappropriate.
