Honestly, not really. It's just an aversion. If I didn't cook for him
differently, it wouldn't matter to him. He'd just find something else to
eat.

No, it really doesn't, Peter. There's absolutely nothing that he would do
for me, apart from the food thing.

Maybe I'm making it sound worse than it is. It's not a hardship for me.
Anything he likes to eat just takes a warming up or a quick grilling. What
I make for myself takes a lot more effort.

I understand and appreciate your position, but in our situation it really
isn't a hardship.
