Picky eater of a husband!

Kristina

Me and my husband have always had a difference in the way we eat since we were dating. I was a more healthy eater, he ate what he can and when he can. It’s never been a real issue though.

I quit my job, started my own business, and now 10 weeks pregnant so I’m home to cook dinner for him when he gets off work. Lately, with every meal it seems, he has something negative to say about my cooking. And he doesn’t explain and I don’t ask questions. I don’t believe I’m a bad cook- honestly. Anyone else who I cook for has all pleasant things to say.

For example, one day I made pork chops. After the meal he stated “please don’t make that again”. I simply just said okay.

Another example, one day I made a beef stew in our crock pot. Again he asks not to make it again. Weeks later while grocery shopping together I picked up the same meat (crock pot cooking is so easy) and he asked that I put it back. Literally the next day I’m at my moms house and she cooks the same meat (not in the crock pot but on the stove). I brought some home for myself knowing he doesn’t like the particular meat but there was extra so I gave it to him and he enjoyed it so much. I’m confused.

Another example, he’ll eat his moms lasagna (any lasagna is my fav dish) and his moms mac and cheese but when I want to make it he won’t eat it. And I’m taking about a frozen lasagna and a box mac and cheese. Same way she makes it.

Today, he’s on his way home from work and asked if I cooked. I said I’m literally about to start making pasta. His first response is “oh, are you going to make it like mine?” As if he’s the most excellent chef in the world. My response was “No, how about you can just make it when you get here and I’ll have everything laid out on the counter for you”.

Am I being dramatic? How do I make him understand that his comments are hurtful and discourages me want to continue cooking for him? We’ve had numerous talks but he still continues...
