A woman turned to an online forum to learn if she was in the wrong for dubbing her ex a “terrible cook.”

Sensory Issues.
The woman admitted that in her younger years, she was a bit fussy about food.
“I (30f) am a picky eater. Pre-story: when I was younger it was impossible to make me eat a lot of food, and I was also diagnosed with some sensory issues while eating, which is part of the pickiness.”
She Knows What She Does and Doesn’t Like.
Certain foods are a no-go.
“Things got better as I grew older and I was able to cook for myself the dishes I like and that are nutritionally healthy (mainly I don’t like foods that are drenched in fat and feel heavy).”
Delivery Service.
“I was lucky to get a well-paying job early in my life (20), so instead of cooking I have decided to try the ready meal delivery service as many of these are healthy and offer a choice, and I hate cooking.”
Pete Involved Himself in Her Dietary Affairs.
“At 21, I got married to *Pete(23m).
Pete insisted on cooking himself and made me try new foods and was very against ordering the ready meals, even though it was easier and cheaper and the time I would spend cooking I could put into my career or hobbies.”
His Food Was Awful.
“I didn’t like anything he cooked as it tasted awful to me, and I would end up having a sour stomach after.
Essentially my ‘pickiness’ was one of the reasons we divorced 3 years later.”
Present Day.
The sharer is divorced, but she ran into her ex during a chance encounter.
“Last week, my boss and I went to a business dinner with an owner and an assistant of the company that wanted to be our partners. The assistant ended up being Pete, which I was surprised to hear as he said he will never join the field I’m working in.”
Snotty Remarks.
“Just before the dinner, Pete was making snarky comments to his boss and mine about me being a picky eater and us divorcing because of it.
However, to his surprise, I ordered a few dishes I would previously find disgusting and would eat them with no problem.”
He Behaved Inappropriately.
“Pete went nuts and started asking a lot of inappropriate questions and nearly calling me names until I had enough of it and said the reason why I was so picky with him was due to him being a terrible cook and that every one of his dishes would make me sick.
His boss laughed, and we carried on with the dinner.”
He Called Her Names
Pete’s questionable behavior didn’t end at the dinner.
“The next day, I received many texts from Pete calling me TA for what I said as now his boss has declined to come into the dinner he was hosting for work, and it is affecting his career.”

NTA.
“Pete was asking you inappropriate questions in front of your boss. That isn’t very pleasant.
Also, it’s totally your choice what you want to eat.”
Pete is the Problem
“Not to mention, in front of his boss. Not a good look.
OP [original poster], NTA.”
