She Got Into An Argument With Her Husband After Refusing To Try The Venison Sausage He Made For Dinner
This woman has been married to her husband for the last 14 years and they have two children together.
Now, she does not believe that she’s terribly picky when it comes to food, but there are several things she won’t eat.
She dislikes boiled peanuts, beans, fish, and venison. Her husband is aware that she doesn’t like any of those things and that she won’t eat them no matter what.
He likes to eat the things she won’t, but that’s alright with her. She never tells her husband that he’s not allowed to cook those dishes or even feed them to their children.
Tomorrow, both of their children are getting their tonsils removed. Since they won’t be able to eat anything that isn’t soft for several days, her husband said he wanted to make something special for dinner tonight.
“He grilled steaks, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, and some deer sausage he recently received as a gift,” she explained.
“As we were fixing plates for ourselves and the kids, I said that I didn’t want any sausage. He told me I should taste it- again, I said I didn’t want it.”
“I find deer meat gamey, dry, and stringy. I don’t care how it’s prepared, I don’t want it.”
Her husband kept doing his best to get her to try just a bit of it, but the more he insisted she should put the venison sausage on her plate, the more stubborn she felt over refusing.

She’s been on this planet for four decades, so if she doesn’t want to eat a particular food, she doesn’t have to.
She wasn’t that bothered by the sausage itself; she was irritated that her husband wasn’t respecting her decision.
Their little argument ended with her husband accusing her of being the reason their kids aren’t adventurous eaters.
“I took it as a low blow,” she said. “He does a lot of cooking in our house, but I do a lot of the shopping.”
“I don’t talk about my dislike of certain foods in front of the kids because I don’t want to discourage them from trying new things, I don’t prevent him from cooking the food he likes, and I don’t demand that he cook separate meals for me.”
“I left the room to cool off, then didn’t eat with the rest of the family because I didn’t feel like eating anymore. But maybe I should have just tried the…deer to avoid an argument the night before kids’ surgery.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to refuse to try the venison sausage, which sparked the argument with her husband.
