My wife has some pretty interesting dietary restrictions. She can’t eat fructose (HFCS, honey, certain fruits, etc.), garlic, onion, wheat, almonds, legumes (beans), and a few other common items.
These things make her sick, and I understand that medically, she can’t eat these things.
No problem, I can work with that.
The issue is she’s also decided to become vegan. Because of this, she’s got huge problems getting a decent protein intake, and basically just eats potatoes and oats.
I went along with it for a couple of months. First, it was “vegan January” to celebrate the new year. We both did it. It went fine. Then it turned into February, and I gave up but she kept going.
Eventually, I told her that I wouldn’t cook meals for her anymore because and I’d have to cook a different meal for myself or make separate batches with and without the things she can’t eat. I’m tired of cooking meals that are over complicated and unsatisfying.
Every couple months she tells me she’s upset that I don’t cook for her and that we could save money by doing meal prep together. Then it turns into a fight when I explain to her again why that doesn’t work for me.
