A Reddit user named BackGorilla recently took to the r/BoyDinnerDiaries subreddit to vent about a dilemma he was facing. He noted that while he loves his wife, even after a decade together, he has a very hard time pretending to enjoy her cooking.
“Want to also clarify that this is not a heteronormative expectation thing. I don’t care if she never cooks for me and I’ll gladly cook for her when it’s my turn,” he wrote. The core issue was that “We have very different taste (I love spicy food, she can’t handle it) and we grew up eating totally different things.” He described meals of “unseasoned broccoli roasted in nearly no oil, mushy sweet potato fries, and precooked meat packages from Trader Joe’s with no seasoning.”
