[quote=Anonymous]It depends on how much you like food. If you're okay bending to the taste of the picky eater, then it's okay. If not, it gets old and irritating really fast. I'm dating someone who refuses to eat vegetables (except raw peppers and tomatoes), eggs, beans, legumes, most healthy grains (farro, quinoa, barley, etc.), fish and all seafood. He hasn't eaten any of these things since he was a child, if ever, and refuses to try any of them. We eat dinner together most nights, and if I don't make a separate meal for myself, we eat meat and potatoes with basic seasoning, no sauce. Every day. He generally prefers takeout to home cooked food, but likes very basic takeout like pizza or chicken tenders.

I was raised eating everything, love food, and am a good cook, and it is really upsetting to me that I can't enjoy a nice non-meat and potatoes meal with him. I don't want to order a whole side at a restaurant if only I'll be eating it or go to a place where he can only order one thing on the menu or spend time cooking a delicious dish that only I'll eat, so it limits my options too. And like a PP said, cooking two meals is more expensive and much less efficient, so we end up eating meat and potatoes a lot (I add a vegetable). He has good qualities that obviously outweigh this issue, but it's significant and actually impacts me daily.[/quote]
