Anyone have a spouse/partner who is a picky eater?

I grew up with two french bodybuilders for parents and enjoy super minimally seasoned, whole, unprocessed foods (yes, we were the weird house for not having goldfish as kids), and I live with my handsome man from a beautiful Mexican family who cook with many flavors but also eat out a LOT.

He is okay about my cooking as it is 90% veggies, but some nights he’s blunt that he’s picky, and I whine about going out. Thoughts?

I’ll try my best!

It doesn’t sound like he’s picky it sounds like you don’t know how to season your food lol. You can cook whole and healthy foods by seasoning them so that they are flavorful.

As someone who also focuses on bodybuilding - seasoning doesn’t usually add a ton of calories. Spices are low to no calorie, and you can try marinades. Are you also into bodybuilding? The food is super bland and hard to eat after a while, so maybe try eating with more flavorful foe instead of resorting to take out.

My parents were also very busy and “fend for yourself” types sooo yeah I never learned much honestly. I’m into fitness! He is too but we’ve both been off our game for a year now as life has gotten busy as we navigate new careers.

Director 1 terrible advice. OP, try to find restaurants that have healthy options that satisfy your wants but also options that your husband likes. In terms of home cooking, try your best to find meals that are healthy superfoods that also taste good to your husband - it’s extremely hard but can be done with experimentation and effort. Good luck!

If “Some nights” is one/two nights a week it’s totally fine. There are healthy options even when you want to indulge. It’s the flavor of spices and does not necessarily need to be battered or fried. Meat a couple of nights a week is also fine.

As the picky eater in my relationship, I think he's just looking for more variety. I usually make chicken breast or salmon with veggies pretty much every night. Look into ways to make your meals more exciting. Ask what kind of meals he likes. Also- are you the only one cooking- ask him to cook once or twice a week.

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

I'm a single lady and would LOVE to get a pup this year but am fighting the guilty feelings, so any advice would be much appreciated!
