His Girlfriend’s Eating Habits Are So Completely Restrictive That He Hasn’t Been Able To Eat Anything He Actually Likes In A Year, And He Can’t Take It Anymore
A 28-year-old guy has spent the last 3 years dating his 29-year-old girlfriend, and one year ago, they made the decision to move in with each other.
He does consider their relationship to be nothing but flawless (except for one major problem), and his girlfriend is intelligent, successful, and kind.
His girlfriend has a full-time job working as a nurse, and because he works on a part-time basis, he’s stepped up to take on more of the household responsibilities.
He also does all of the cooking in their house, which has never been an inconvenience for him as it’s something he enjoys.
“However, my GF’s food preferences are so insanely restrictive that it has sucked the joy out of cooking for me,” he explained.
“She refuses to eat anything she deems “unhealthy,” which means no spaghetti, no hamburgers, no sloppy joes, no chili, nothing.”
“Our go-to meal is grilled chicken with fresh veggies, which is delicious, but not “I’ll eat this 7 days a week” delicious.”
He simply cannot handle eating the exact same foods on repeat, and his girlfriend won’t even try what’s outside of her approved foods list.
She will not consume anything that contains carbs or grease. Although he has cooked his family’s lasagna recipe for her or tried to grill hamburgers for her, she freaks out on him and won’t even try it.

He wants to eat lasagna, and he wants to eat hamburgers, but if he tries, his girlfriend attempts to make him feel bad over it.
“I have reached my limit,” he said. “I haven’t eaten something I like to eat in almost a year. I sat her down a few days ago and said I was going to start cooking things I want to eat.”
“I would still incorporate her favorite meals during the week, but some days I would cook stuff that I liked too.”
“She was furious. She said that it was unfair of me to cook something she doesn’t like, especially when she works long shifts and looks forward to dinner. She said that we both eat the healthy meals, whereas she would not eat the unhealthy meals, so I’d be selfish for cooking something that only one of us could eat.”
His girlfriend demanded that he make one meal for him and a separate meal for her each night going forward, but he stated that he didn’t think that was fair of her at all.
It’s a lot of work to cook one meal every night, let alone 2.
Additionally, he makes breakfast for them close to every day, and when his girlfriend goes to work, he makes her lunch to bring.
He reminded his girlfriend that she could try eating off the list of foods she likes, but she is the one making the decision not to do that.
His girlfriend was so upset at his way of wanting to handle this that she left their place to go stay with her mom and dad.
She’s currently calling him a jerk, along with her parents, for wanting to eat something outside of her food list.
“I just miss hot dogs and french fries,” he concluded before wondering if it’s wrong of him to no longer want to cook only super healthy food for his girlfriend.
If you were in him, would you have burnt out cooking for her a long time ago, or would this be a way you could eat every day of the week?
