    Leave it alone...move on and never ever bring them pie again.

    Yep. If they can't appreciate your pie, just don't give it away.

    ^Is what I said. Goes against my nature but I agree.

    Never be associated with any family that yells about pie..ESPECIALLY pumpkin pie.

    So...with that being said...

    Just break up.

    If the father was drunk, and frequently gets drunk, probably the family tunes out whatever he's b!tching about and don't fight with him no matter what the subject. That's just what people do to ranting family drunks.

    Probably the best answer here, IMO. Have you been around his father when he was drunk on several occasions? I have to assume your SO knows from experience that the best way to let things blow over is not to say anything at all. I'm sure it felt like some kind of betrayal, but he was probably watching out for you the way that would work out best for everyone involved.

    Seriously, though, why not ask him? He's the only one who can give you the real answer.

    You're so right...I did ask him. He has no answer or, son't give one. I have never seen his father 100% sober. Which, at this stage of the relationship I am questioning why if my BF and I have talked about this why he didn't stick up for me or at least remind his father what was discussed as a family what was to be brought to Christmas.

    Christ, I could have kept the pie for myself. It was spectacular and not deserving of a blowhard drunk for sure.

    Thanks for your help, advice, concern and jokes everyone. Happy New Year!

    What were the calories and macros of this alleged pie? Can you provide the recipe? Was there any topping, like whipped cream or cool whip? Was the crust home made or store bought?

    Also, and this is very important, did the pie contain any diary products?

    Your SO probably didn't want to make a scene/cause a problem on that special day.
    I wouldn't look to far into it.

    You should always be able to stand up for yourself anyways.
