Jeez, how often are you eating out? We go out 1x every other week. If that was Korean every time, & I had a good spouse in all other ways, who cares.
The rest of the time, make what you want at home, or order from wherever you want while she grubhubs bulgogi. Who cares.
If the problem is that you eat out every other night, & it is always Korean…I’d love to have your problem.

Korean is fantastic. You have to be literally insane to be this butthurt about it eating it.

Once per week.

How'd you feel if you had to eat Korean food 51 out of 52 opportunities per year they you had for dining out when there is so much other variety out there around here?

I'm so sick and tired of another person completely dictating my palate.

I think the consensus is we’d love to eat Korean that much. Does she make you order the same thing?

It's fine. It's not fantastic. Everything is soup, cooked in tons of oil in a wok, or you have BBQ. It's fine 4 times a year, not 51 times a year.

Or it’s rice based.
Or it’s noodle based.
Or it’s fried.
Or it’s a hot dog.
Or it’s chicken.
Or it’s vegetables.
Or it’s tofu.
Or it’s shellfish.
Or it’s beef.
Or it’s pork.

Yeah, I can see why you get so bored of it. Where’s the cream and oregano?

If you want Korean 51 out of 52 times per year, that's you. Maybe I want Thai food. Maybe I'd like Japanese ramen. Maybe I'd like Italian pasta. Maybe I'd like Spanish Paella. Maybe I'd love some Turkish kebaps. Maybe I'd love some German spaetzels and kraut, maybe I'd love French poached salmon, maybe I'd love some American Creole.


Korean 99% of the time is boring AF and not wonderful.

Actually it sounds amazing. Korean is also a food culture that has liberally adopted, so you can find some version of a lot of that.

But also, are your legs broken? Can you not get your creamy creole food on your own?

DH and I usually go back and forth and it takes us forever to decide what to order when we get takeout or go out. I would eat Asian food pretty much every time, though not always the same kind! But he likes pizza and burgers and BBQ. We can always find something we both agree on.

I’m in tears, laughing, at the idea of a tiny guy with a bad mustache riding around Nova in the backseat while his wife drives, sobbing because he HAS to eat the world’s favorite cuisine- AGAIN!

There’s a Korean taco combo place in Skyline. Compromise?

How about Korean donuts, hot dogs ramen, and fried chicken? They’re different from stews, tteobbokki and bbq. What about Chinese-Korean like Jjammeong and tangsuyuk? Or eggwiches on the Japanese bread. Dumplings. Subway is in all the Kdramas so maybe you can convince her it’s Korean food. They serve pizza in Korea too but the toppings are different. At least you could negotiate for some variety.

He’s made it clear - he’s not interested in talking about the enormous diversity of Korean food, he wants a bowl of cream with some oregano in it.

He sounds like an energy vampire and his wife is probably eating all that garlicky Korean to try and drive him away.

why does she control you? You can't say no? I'd eat whatever the hell I want and let her whine. Then I'd go to another room or put some headphones on.

You sound more broken than the OP, which is impressive.
