Picky boyfriend!?

He upsets me SO much sometimes with his picky food habits. I’ve given up cooking so many of my favorite foods because he doesn’t like them- including pasta (crazy, I know, who doesn’t like pasta?!), rice, almost anything Italian, most vegetables (besides potatoes), cheesecake, and even beef stew! All he ever wants is fried or barbequed food, mashed potatoes, lima beans, or seafood (the one thing I don’t like), and he refuses to admit how picky he is. He grew up in Mississippi and seems to think that anything non-Southern or Creole is disgusting, and refuses to even try new things! It takes the excitement out of cooking, and I want to know if anyone who’s dealt with a picky eater has any suggestions!
He cooks once in a while, and that’s usually only grilled food, since that’s a “man” thing.

Having a relationship that is successful is about compromise. Seems to me you are doing more than your fair share of compromise in this matter. Why not chart out your meals in advance, planning them together, one night cater to his wants but the next night is your night. If he really loves you, he’ll want you to be happy, comfortable and well fed!!

OK first make the foods you like. Don’t neglect yourself to satisfy someone else’s needs like that. Have him cook his own food. You cook yours. Maybe every once in a while, you guys cook for each other.

You do NOT have to cater all meals to him, and he needs to understand that. Make pasta, with a side dish that he likes (like lima bans). Tell him to try it at least.
If he balks, he’s inconsiderate, and you need to do some soul-searching.
And come to think of it, does he do ANY of the cooking????

wow i would say too damn bad for him. make something for dinner and if he doesn’t like it then he goes hungry. stop being his doormat/cook. he’s a grown man and can figure it out for himself how to cook.

You are not a personal chef. If pasta is on the menu, tough.
If he can’t make a compromise, then
*DTMFA!

I also think you should just cook for yourself or….you could cook enough of what you like and enough of what he likes and eat dinner together. No one ever said you have to eat the same thing at the dinner table

i know how it could be sometimes try making some of his foods and your foods at the same time than maybe he will get to like your foods. if you put a plate of his food and say why dont you try this and if you dont like it just eat what you like and try that all the time than maybe he will like some of your food . AND you should try some of his food than maybe you will like it.

Ok, my sug. GET OUT!!! Sounds just like my x-husband!!I got married to a guy like that in June 06 and i was moved out by Nov. 06 living with my friends because we decided (well more like me) to get divorced!!! My married only lasted 3 months, because you CANT change a man no matter what, and that is something i learned the hard way. Dont get your self into a situation you cant get out of. I know how hard it can be, but ask your self is this something you can deal with for the rest of your life can you picture dealing with this till your 80!! if you hesitate to say yes or no, you know that its time to move on. Find someone that makes you happy! i did can i’m not as stressed out as i used to be and its nice not to have to get into auguments over stupid stuff any more. Good luck!
