[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn just go to a food hall or door dash. People can order what they want and eat together.  But you know this isn't just about food.  You're marriage problems are much deeper than that[/quote]

It’s a troll or a mentally ill person… the giveaway was when he said he wanted diverse food like cream and oregano. [/quote]

You're a dimwit.  You tried to claim Korean food is diverse.  It's not diverse on a global comparison.  Examples of Korean food not being diverse were pointed out to you - traditional Korean cuisine doesn't use many ingredients that exist on the planet and are used by other cuisine like creams, cheeses, herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme just to make a few), tropical fruits, . Korean food rarely uses other cooking techniques like roasting, sous,  vide, roux, etc.

Your stupid claim would be akin to stating French food is diverse. Or Italian food is diverse.  No they're not.  No single cuisine alone is diverse.

Korean food is developed for harsh climates.  It's flavor profile is constantly that of pickled.  Everything is often cooked using a wok, hot pot, or grilled.  It's good, I don't hate it. But maybe people want more diversity in their life than some cuisine developed on a small peninsula n East Asia?  You can take the kimchi and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Besides, Thai food is far more diverse than Korean. I'd rather that anyway.  [/quote]
Thai food is no more diverse than Korean food.

I love both, FWIW.  I had been searching for a good Thai restaurant in the area for years after we moved here from CA.

All foods evolve, including Korean food.   They put cheese on different dishes today, and that is not traditional.  A lot of ethnic foods now do fusion.  Someone mentioned taco + Korean.

I agree with a different PP that you just need to put your big boy pants on and tell her you want to compromise. If she whines, let her.  Just get take out and put headphones on (as someone suggested).  More than likely, she will eventually give in.

To divorce over this seems really stupid, but your inability to handle this is stupid.[/quote]

The fact that he's gotten to thinking divorce over "this" means her controlling and immature behavior is not limited to the weekly restaurant choice.  OP - how else is she inflexible? Does she whine over other things when she doesn't get her way?

I'm trying to imagine if my DH only wanted to eat at one type of restaurant when we go out once a week. Yes, it would be annoying and would probably lead to us going out less often because I'd more often suggest we get take out from different places. And, I'd spend time solo with my friends at restaurants. If he was cool with that and is generally a good spouse, then that's fine. If he whined about the cost of double-take out, or about staying in because I didn't feel like eating at the only type of restaurant he'd go to, or gave me grief about going out with friends instead of him, then we'd have a big problem. It's not about the specific food, it's about maturity, respect, and compromise.[/quote]
