r/Bestof Boyfriend Tried to Kill Me with Shrimp

People, remember this: if your partner, or anybody, tries and fails to kill you, the next time, they’ll succeed. Don’t give them that chance by staying with them.

Story 1: If my own boyfriend shown no remorse in almost k*lling me via allergic reaction, that would be the first and final strike. The fact that he said "Too bad it failed, at least you wouldn't be annoying me!" really shown his true colours. If anyone should be calling you every single name under the sun, it should be YOU, OP.

If anybody rudely jumped into my conversation and shushed me with a “I’m an expert in this field” I would become maliciously stupid. “What are you talking about? We’re not IN a field??”

“Every relationship goes through problems,” GIRL your BF trying to kill you (even jokingly, which is debatable) is not just a problem, that’s a goddamn red flag!

For your own knowledge, "Meuf" is a kind of a weird slang we have in France. In short, it's somehow revesed and comes from the word "Femme", "Woman" in French. "r/askmeuf" are questions and answers from french women on Reddit, just like "r/askreddit". And about the story itself, it is an attempted assassination. The fact that the bf used the shrimp to induce that kind of consequences here can be used to prove the evil intent behind his acts. He had prior knowledge about this, so a legal case can be made. There was another case here last year where a 21 year old woman died, due to peanut allergy. The restaurant didn't mention on their menu that they were using peanut in their dishes. It was sentenced as a 2nd degree murder, the intent wasn't proven.

I’m 2 minutes in and she definitely needs to file a police report because his answer is terrifying. She needs to run.

First Story: I agree with OP's mom, every relationship does go through problems but everyone doesn't try to kill their partner through an allergic reaction and act nonchalant about it. OP needs to leave this man yesterday. The fact he went out to get drinks instead of being there for OP (probably because he did this intentionally) should be an indicator to go to the cops rather than consider leaving him or not (obviously OP should leave this guy of course). Rslash...he went out to get drinks and asked for people to call him when OP gets out the hospital and said "too bad it failed" when OP asked him if he was trying to kill her; it is safe to assume this was not an accident. On top of that, he doesn’t eat seafood and knew OP is deathly allergic but still made the springrolls and served OP one

Wow... The guy tries to kill her, admits to it, and the mom's advice is that every relationships has its up and downs... That's some crappy mothering right there.

The fact that hes a Sociology professor tells us all we need to know to never invite him anywhere.

"Every relationship has its problems." Fair. True. If those problems end in hospital visits you need to reevaluate the relationship. Is it worth dying? Almost dying? Constant bruises? The lying to friends about being clumsy? At the VERY LEAST this is abuse. As it reads, it's attempted murder.
