Just cannot take wife controlling food choices anymore. Divorce?

[Anonymous]

Wife constantly, coooooooooooooooonstantly only ever wants to eat Korean food whenever we order or go out. I am so sick of it to the point I am so internally angry I want to explode. If my wife doesn't get her way wrt food, she complains nonstop and whines like a damn child.

Look, I like Korean food, don't get me wrong, but I just do not want to have it for the 1000th time in a row. Yes, I have utter contempt for my wife who gets to have 99% of the control over what goes into our mouths and what I get to eat for dinner. Maybe once in a while I want pizza? Maybe every so often I want something as simple as a damn burger? I love Middle Eastern, Turkish, Greek, etc. types of foods, but because she doesn't like it we are forced to never eating it. Meanwhile I let her have Korean 100% of the time whenever she wants even though it is probably ranked 15th on my list for most favorite types of cuisines.


I am getting sick of it to the point I am considering a divorce. Am I crazy? The controlling freak nature she has over my dietary choices has gotten intolerable. Maybe I want more food diversity in my life besides Asian food. I want to punch a hole through a wall I am so angry over this issue.

Just go out by yourself.

Is she controlling generally...or just over eating out?

Sounds like you need to eat out separately.

What, exactly, is stopping you from eating out without her? I order Indian sometimes for myself, because my husband doesn't love it and would rather not join me. You can also go out with your friends, not her.

And for home cooking, well, I presume you can cook for yourself.

It doesn't work when she demands to go to a restaurant 'for a night out' and demands I accompany her while dining. Gee, Korean restaurant for the 100th time in a row. What a surprise.

What is wrong with you? Just say no. Refuse to accompany her. Tell her you're going to your favorite place and she can go to hers.

Really, are you dumb? Are you her slave? I don't get it.

You can't find a Korean/hybrid restaurant? I can think of a few near me.

What about a Korean chicken place?

No. OP can just say no. But apparently OP prefers to complain here rather than stand up to his wife.

Korean food is pretttty diverse. Difficult to imagine you eat SO much of it you can't find new/interesting things on the menu.

Also, sounds like you hate your wife and there's a lot going on and this is just the thing you're complaining about today.

You’d rather divorce than order takeout from different places? Methinks there are bigger issues…

Just get carryout from two different restaurants and eat at home.

is your wife korean? are you?

eating out, take turns choosing.

if you can't manage this one thing it's hard to see how you would manage more serious matters.
