A pregnant woman is turning to the internet for help after sharing that her husband “dramatically” slapped a plate of sushi off the table – arguing that she shouldn’t be eating it, despite that it was entirely vegan.
In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that she is “vegetarian and eat[s] mostly vegan with some exceptions like small amounts of dairy or honey.”
“Recently I got [a] sushi making kit to make vegan sushi at home and ended up making some avocado cucumber rolls. I am just sitting down to eat them when my husband dramatically runs up to me and slaps my plate off the table, making the food make a huge mess on the kitchen floor. Of course that really pissed me off so I asked him what the actual f was he doing,” she writes.

The post continues: “He started screaming about how I am being negligent and careless about my baby and eating sushi is very harmful to the baby. I hadn’t been able to eat all day so I didn’t even have the energy to laugh at how stupid that sounded. I tried explaining to him how that doesn’t apply to vegan sushi rolls since the problem is with eating raw fish but he didn’t listen and started listing off other things I have eaten or done that he deems irresponsible such as me eating pineapple occasionally or papaya (fully ripened papaya is safe, everything in moderation of course).”
The woman adds that she got so “overwhelmed” by the conversation that she started to cry — when her husband then said, “boohoo, I’m so sad I can’t hurt my baby.”
The woman said she then “snapped” and began to list things his own family members had done during their pregnancies (such as having a drink of alcohol while pregnant). She also told him she’s “sick of his mom and sister” giving her dietary advice, arguing that his family doesn’t really care about the baby’s nutrition because his siblings feed their children “super processed junk food.”
The conversation then spiraled further into an argument about her husband’s first child. Eventually, she “packed a bag” and went to stay at a hotel temporarily.

“He started blowing up my phone asking me to come home so I can watch his daughter but I don’t want to deal with her either. I blocked him everywhere and I blocked his mom and sister too,” she adds.
She ends the post by asking fellow Reddit users if she is in the wrong — but most of them don’t think so.
Writes one commenter: “Run far far away from this man. Get a divorce before you give birth and get as far away as you can.”
Adds another: “It was vegan sushi, not raw fish. Your husband overreacted and disrespected you, slapping food and mocking you. His fam is controlling, your reaction was harsh but after constant criticism it’s understandable. The issue is lack of support, not sushi.”
