Video: Giving Up Coffee Has Claims to Have Significantly Improved This CEO's Performance
Nadya Movchan, a CEO from London, shared the incredible changes she experienced after giving up coffee.
One man's sad story of relationship conflict over morning coffee has garnered over 13,000 reactions on social media, with over 2,000 people leaving candid comments and opinions.
I wondered if he was wrong, as one man did in his social media post a few days ago, when he “told his girlfriend he wouldn't make her coffee anymore unless she stopped monitoring my every move”?
He noted that he is 24 years old and his girlfriend is 23. They have been dating for about two years and “living together for about six months,” he added.
“We usually have a 'good routine': I get up first, make coffee, and she wakes up with a hot cup of tea,” he wrote.
But recently the woman “has become very picky about how she wants it done,” the man shared of his girlfriend.

She began demanding “a very specific method: measure out the ground coffee to the nearest gram, preheat the mug in the microwave for 30 seconds, add milk at a certain temperature, and so on and so forth.”
He noted that “in the beginning” he tried to accommodate her wishes – “because if she loved coffee so much, I wanted to make it enjoyable for her,” he wrote.
“But it got to the point where every time I handed her a cup, she would start interrogating me: ‘Did you weigh the coffee?’, ‘Did you warm the mug?’, ‘Is that whole milk or 2%?’
“Did you weigh the coffee? Did you warm the mug? Is it whole milk or 2%?”
He added that “if something was wrong, even in the slightest way, she would sigh and say it wasn't as good as the 'right way'.”
The man said that “one morning she literally took my mug away, poured [the coffee] down the sink and started the process herself – all the while complaining that I never did it right,” he wrote.
“If you're going to be so demanding, just make your own coffee,” the man told his girlfriend. (iStock)
The man admitted that the constant arguments had tired him out.
“I told her, 'If you're going to be so picky, just make your own coffee. I'm tired of making something only to be told it's wrong,'” he wrote.
The man said his girlfriend was “upset” by his comments and said he was “overreacting.”
“I'm tired of feeling like a barista under constant surveillance.”
She said she “just wanted her coffee made a certain way,” he said, “and that I should respect her preferences. I said I respected her preferences — I just didn't like constant criticism or micromanagement.”
However, the woman then accused him of being “lazy and stubborn,” he added.
On Reddit, a young man wrote to others: “Now I feel guilty because I want her to enjoy her morning coffee, but I'm also tired of feeling like I'm the barista under constant scrutiny.”
“Maybe I should just suck it up,” mused the man in a Reddit post (not pictured), “and follow her super detailed instructions.” Many others weighed in on the couple's woes. (iStock)
He asked other users on the platform if he was wrong to “tell her she can handle herself until she
