I just don’t seem to like my boyfriends cooking: he is a good cook, we just have opposite tastes.
My boyfriend is amazing, he loves doing things for me, is very romantic and likes cooking too. I am a bit particular about food. I really hate anything with a black burn mark even if it’s not otherwise burned. The most I go to is a golden brown, he really likes that char-grilled taste. He likes the opposite vegetables as me (his favourite are carrots, they’re my least favourite) and we have different cooking styles (I dislike boiled/steamed vegetables and love stir fried or baked). He likes more watery soupy food (miso/pho), I like thick stews.
I come from very food focused family. I have really liked cooking together in previous relationships (ex and I had similar tastes and we both got a say and could alter things to our preference) but my current BF really likes being alone in the kitchen and serving me food. He doesn’t want to cook together – he thinks it’s easier for one person to do it, rather than get in each other’s way – it’s also a small kitchen.
Every time I try to even sit in the kitchen he ushers me out, I just want to flip things before they get charred so it’s at least bearable to me. He will say “I got this” if I suggest checking on something on the stove. He genuinely likes those flavours which I just don’t. I’ve spoken to him about what I like and I feel like only some of it seems to stick for a week or so and then It goes back to the same.
I don’t know how to fix this?
tl:dr BF trying to be romantic by cooking for me, but his food makes me miserable.
