You refused her the experience of a nice meal *with* her partner, celebrating her achievements, which she was more than in a position to contribute to, through nothing but misplaced pride.
You seem to think that her sitting there eating while you ate nothing would be the same experience as you both eating and celebrating. It isn't. It's embarrassing and awkward. You prevented her from having a good experience through pride.
I did lots of research on her condition before I proposed and we talked about it a lot. The symptoms vary so much from person to person. These last few years have surprised her as much as they’ve surprised me, and that’s one of the contributing factors to her recent mental health decline.
But this is a sub where people go to seek advice when there's a problem. All the relationships where this isn't a problem isn't posted here. It's like basing your car driving statistics on r/IdiotsInCars
The notion that men and woman can't be close friends without falling in love is in my opinion toxic, and just not true. You can absolutely be close friends with someone of the sex your attracted to without romantic feelings. How would persons who are bi even have any close friends if that was true?
So just making shit up that it very seldom works out is just pointless. In reality you don't KNOW how often it works or not, so I suggest stop making shit up. OP is making real decisions about her life here

Date someone your own age and grow up.
What side effects are you afraid of? If the side effects do effect her life her doctor will adjust
