I have to agree.

Or OP is a big, fat baby.

Either way, it’s entertaining.

OP - is this the case or is she also demanding Korean food when you are eating at home?
Restaurants are so expensive these days that when I go out I want something I can’t make at home which for me is sushi. So my go to restaurants for special occasions are the best sushi places. Otherwise I don’t want to pay restaurant prices anymore.

Anyway no not divorce worthy.

“Honey, I’m not interested in eating out for Korean again. We can either take turns selecting the restaurant - and it’s my turn now - or we can stay in for a date night and order from different places.”

No no and no. Just be firm and ignore any drama. You aren’t asking for too much and she has to learn to compromise.

+1 it's totally reasonable to take turns picking where you eat. If she won't do that and/or spends every non-Korean meal whining about it like a child then it's time for marriage therapy.

Everyone has to give a bit and the PPs laughing at OP or saying he should be happy to only go to Korean restaurants are missing the big picture -- a wife who won't compromise or consider her DH's feelings about something that's really easy for a grown-up to compromise about. I can't imagine DH or I unilaterally deciding that the other never gets to pick the restaurant. Yeah, it's a small thing but also a regular occurrence in life and so easy to just take turns.

Is she this inflexible about the big parts of life too?

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.

No it is not diverse.

It never uses cheese. No cream. No use of herbs like basil, thyme, oregano. Rarely does it ever use techniques like roasting, baking, or anything ever to do with an oven.

Look, I like Korean. I just don't need that same flavor profile for 999 out of 1000 meals I my life and have someone else dictate the crap out of what goes into my mouth the majority of the time. I'm so tired of it.

Oh. You just want boring European food.

now we're getting somewhere—you've got a wife who is more sophisticated and it makes you angry... is this misogyny or just garden-variety anger at realizing you're the simple one?

Omg STFU.

European food has its own flavor profile. As does Korean, as does Japanese, as does American, as does Chinese. Maybe I simply want diversity from all over in my life rather than just the same staid flavors from Korea 99% of the time .

Lol, you act as if Korean food has this magical array of flavor. No it doesn't. Most of it is pickled or uses salt only or is covered in the same type of chili based sauce/flavor.

Thai is way more diverse than Korean, but we never get to try that too. There's nothing wrong with wanting 'boring' pizza one day, a burger the next, tacos another, Greek spanikopita, or an Argentinian grilled platter. Maybe you should be stop being such a narrow minded twit and simply enjoy the diversity of the cuisine on the planet rather than constantly only ever wanting something cooked in a wok or hot pot.
