Well that's your problem. You aren't a good cook, and would rather eat something that tastes like garbage than delicious. No wonder no one likes your food!

I think it would be unreasonable to expect someone to eat food that they a) hate and b) is acknowledged that isn't very tasty. If my DH was a terrible cook and insisted on making things I didn't like, I'd probably opt out as well. There is a huge amount of compromise available here. Can you guys pick out recipes and cook together? I like pps ideas of making similar things at home, like chipotle bowls or thai food. Maybe he can help make the meal plan. It doesn't sound like you're working, so it's falling on you, but there is no point in buying all this expensive protein and veggies if no one eats it, it goes to waste, and he ends up getting take out anyways.

The obvious solution here is to learn how to cook.  Healthy food should taste delicious too.

I wouldn’t want to eat bland food “for sustenance” either.  I cook very healthy but also with a lot of flavor, so everyone eats it happily. [b] It isn’t hard.[/quote]

It may not be hard for you but, please don't speak for everyone! If it was easy to cook healthy and delicious foods that everyone would be doing it, right?  If op's dh hates her food the answer is it is now his job to cook the dinner.[/quote]
Why is it his "job"? It sounds like he works an actual job. OP is cooking for 3, and 2/3 hate the food. What kind of person cooks ADMITIDLY terribly food, and then gets mad when no one else wants to eat it? He seems totally fine being chipotles fave customer, it is her with the issue, her that can't cook, and her that is complaining. If she wants them to change, she will need to make some serious changes herself. [/quote]
