I wish that would have worked here, but he would simply not eat what I
preferred to cook and would just go out for a McDonald's.

I cook 2 different meals on most nights, in self defense, because I won't
stoop to his pitiful level of taste. :-)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! So he's just being a spoilt little child.

That's fine.


But that **really** shows the level of feeling and commitment that he
has for you.

FFS!! I was willing to become a frikken vego for my CA wife!!

Stop doing it Wayne.


Because as long as you continue to cater to the needs of an attention
seeking asswipe, they'll continue to act like children and continue to
drag as much out of you as they can.

I'd rather live by myself than have to cater to someone like that.

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.

Not really, Janet. You don't actually know us. When I cook a meal we
usually share whatever meat I choose to make unless it's something he
clearly doesn't like, as well as at least one of the vegetables that we
both like. I willl make a second vegetable for each of us. It's no big
deal.

If I want Chinese I have it, and he may go and have a McDonald's. I don't
care. Other similar situations, too. I don't cater to him as much as I
may have implied.

Everyone has likes and dislikes. For example, I absolutely detest oysters
and squid (unless it's fried). There's no way in hell anyone could make me
eat them.

I have always done all of the cooking. I prefer it that way.

I do most of ours, but as I have stated before, if the SO wants to cook
something, I let her. Because any meal I don't have to cook myself, is a
damn good meal :-)

To a great extent you're right. Actually he *can* cook, and really makes a
very decent lasagna and a few other things, but we'd *both* rather that I
do the cooking.
