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. It isn’t hard.

She should definitely learn to cook but if his taste buds are acclimated to fast food he's not going to love what she makes. Of course that's his problem.
I made a great dinner last night of minestrone, homemade garlic bread and vegetable baked ziti and my husband says "This is good but I'd really like if this had sausage." Meh

Why can't the person with the problem learn how to cook?

Well OP is the one with the problem apparently, as she is dissatisfied with the way her husband eats. He isn’t on here complaining. He has solved his problem with her cooking by eating elsewhere.

op Just cook for you and your kid. Let your dh eat what he wants. And ignore all the meanines on here

OPs kid also doesnt want to eat her food

.

But she can at least focus on making healthy meals that the kid will eat since the husband won’t touch anything healthy

Did you even read the OP?

"I try to cook healthy foods for him ... but it gets rejected most of the time which is extremely frustrating"

Literally no one likes OPs food. OP doesnt even like it. She says straight up she'd rather have something "for sustenance" than delicious. She doesn't even bother to try and make it taste good.

OP here. You’re putting words in my mouth now. I admitted I’m not a good cook and need to work on my skills which is the most obvious solution to the problem at hand. I do like my food sometimes. Sometimes my food doesn’t come out right, which I’m sure happens with everyone, but I’ll still eat it for sustenance because I use high quality ingredients. I’d rather eat that than go get a pizza because my chicken came out dry, that’s what I meant.

Sometimes I think my food comes out good, but my husband still won’t eat it. And my 2 year old just doesn’t like much except chicken tendies which is probably not unusual. I’d like to become a better cook for my toddler but i want to cook healthy foods for him, which unfortunately my husband will not eat.

You sound so pompous and narcissistic. The person that has an eating problem is you.
