What to eat

It would drive me quite mad to be fair! The only thing I can suggest is make loads of a big batch so he can microwave them. And if he does not like that idea, I would say MAKE YOUR OWN! XX

Having had a couple of friends whose husbands would only eat Proper English - meat with mash and peas, etc., I used to be under the illusion that it was only Brit men who were like this, until dd had a long term Italian boyfriend who would only eat Italian. They were living and working in SE Asia at the time, and he wouldn't eat any of the lovely food, and nor would any of the other 5 Italians they shared a house with! And Italian food locally was understandably very limited.

She did eventually get him to be much more adventurous, but it was something of an eye opener for both her and me.
She later married an utterly un-fussy bloke, like her dad.

Violette I really don't understand why you put up with such behaviour!

It reinforces my opinion that this sort of thing can't always be blamed on illness or medication - your husband was like this from the beginning and you were warned that he was a bully before you married him.

My suggestion is not to give him anything different. If he hasn't changed in all these years, he's hardly going to now. Don't expend energy thinking of variety. I know what you mean by the tedium of having to think of and cook a meal every day!

How about getting hubby to cook his own meal from scratch. I couldn't see my dad doing it but who knows?! My mum has daily problem with my dad. She has home cooked for 59 years! And is fed up with it. He insists on his dinner being roasting hot with pepper and or sauce, then tends to piffle about with it and leave it. My mum now eats out at pub venues being a jazz fundie three times a week and if dad wants home food he has to put in a frozen meal for himself. He likes to pick between meals with biscuits. Very bad

If the OP's husband is allergic to garlic, ready meals are probably no good as most contain garlic in some form.
