Her parents cook twice when we visited them, but the extra work was shared between both her parents so it was fine.

My mother's the only one that cooks. Her cuisine is very traditional. My ex understood this

    catching strays out here, my dude. sounds like a really positive take on something people find divisive.

    cooking for others is so special - I'm glad your family shares that. my parents don't cook, and certainly never took an interest in meeting most of the people I dated. but now my partner and I cook for them. they don't like everything we make, and pick around the stuff they don't want. everyone's happy, so it all works out.

    Perhaps when a new person joins their life they could consider learning new things to go with the old. Thats just a hope at least.

    well you do of course, but change shouldn't come at the end of a gun - it's a gradual thing

    I often opt for bean and mushroom burgers now if I get takeout just because you get more bang for buck and they taste way better than the thin slither meat patties I was seeing

    I literally said its a hope. Where did I say hold a gun to someone's head?

    On your other point, mexican food is super cheap when you stick with vegan/vegetarian as well.

    sorry I didn't mean to state it like that, I only meant that though learning someone else's tastes can be seen as an act of love, actually appreciating their tastes can take some time through exposure

    Ah mexican food is sadly a rarity here, but we do have some decent carribean places around and the veggie curry is to die for
