I was eating at Macaroni Grill, and if you been there, they put out little plates with Extra Virgin Olive Oil sprinkled with pepper. Well I was dipping my bread and ate that piece. I was going to dip that same piece of bread in one more time (without even realizing I was doing it), then all of sudden my bf was like, "Are you double dipping!" OMG! talk about embarrassing! Ruined the whole evening, and I was mad at him the rest of the night. I know its not polite to double dip, but don't call me out in front of your family!

I think your boyfriend could have said something to you in private instead of calling you out on it in front of his family. That was not necessary for him to do that. I would have been mad too. You were enjoying yourself,the food was good and you didn't realize what you were doing.
He could have said, sweetheart, can I talk to you in private for a minute?. That would have saved you embarrassment and getting mad at him the rest of the night.
Maybe you should have a talk with him. Sweetheart, next time, we go out with your family or even if we go out with friends; if I do something that you dont' like,. tell me in private ok.
Having the talk with him beforehand can avoid the arguement and getting mad later.
Also if he does something, you don't like. And you are in public place. Tell him in private.

I have done this but only in a joking manner. If something is serious I NEVER call out anyone in front of a large crowd. Double dipping is one where I would say something like "Gross, don't dip your germs in the oil." Some people can be joking and you never know it. Others can be serious and people think they are joking. You should have taken the bread and dipped it about 5 times real fast to play it off. Quit taking life so seriously, you don't get out alive anyway.

I think your boyfriend could do with lessons in tact and you should have a close look at your relationship, just as an aside there is a lot of nonsense attached to eating and drinking like double dipping ,white wine with fish, red with beef and so on, eating is one of the nicer experiences in life and what you like and enjoy is the only thing that should really count not what some food snob ordains is the proper thing.

In my opinion there are many things a person could stress out about in life. Double dipping in the Olive Oil isn't one of them. He should have had more respect for the woman in his life and spoke with you some other time in private if he was concerned.

I wouldn't get to upset about it. I would say something to your bf like - "I would appreciate it if the next time you notice me doing something wrong, like double dipping, please don't embarrass me in front of everyone, get my attention or excuse us from the table and tell me."
This might be a big deal for you, but from an outsider, it doesn't seem like it is as bad as you think.

He was probably joking about it. Do you think he lacks tact to the point where he'd embarrass you in front of a group of people? If he IS that kind of a guy, you may want to reevaluate your relationship.

If it was just the one remark then you are over reacting.
Don't turn into a drama diva over one remark, especially if they were right, family does that.
If you behave like a petulant teen then you will end up with wayyyyy bigger problems.

your boyfriend probably said it without thinking just as you were doing the act without realizing it.
