    Font - I'm facing a culinary nightmare in my relationship, and I need to know if I'm being unreasonable. My girlfriend prides herself on being a 'home chef,' but her cooking skills are just... awful.

    Font - Every time she prepares a meal, it's like a disaster waiting to happen. She doesn't make dinner every day, but at least three times a week I am confronted with her... concoctions. She doesn't stick to recipes, she says all good chefs freestyle it. But her flavors are bland, the textures are off, and the presentation is a sad excuse for a meal. She thinks theyre great though, meanwhile I'm holding back a gag reflex.

    Font - I've brought her cooking skills up once or twice but she's completely convinced of herself. In an attempt to salvage my taste buds, I've resorted to secretly ordering takeout and discreetly disposing of her meals or just eating very little of it. She's happy I'm "enjoying" her food, I'm happy actually enjoying some *food*.

    Font - Last night, she caught me red- handed eating takeout in the kitchen, and it all blew up. She was furious, accusing me of being ungrateful and disrespectful towards her efforts. I explained why I can't stomach her food anymore but she's unwilling to listen or adapt.

    Font - Now, she wants me to apologize and promise to eat her cooking, no matter how terrible it is. But I don't think I can subject myself to such torture.

    Font - Raephstel 18 min. ago ● OP got caught sneaking takeaways because he dislikes her cooking so much, and her response was to demand that he eat her cooking, however bad it is. I don't think she's capable of understanding that he doesn't like her cooking.

She might be less delusional or hurt if you had made it clear from the beginning that you don't enjoy her cooking. Also, you said she doesn't adapt or change her cooking but why can't you just cook for yourself?

    Font - Ok-Cut-280 1 hr. ago YTA, but for your whole demeanor. You sound like such a drama Queen, I'm exhausted. Not liking her cooking is one thing, but your comments show that you don't actually care about making the situation better, just taking care of what YOU want. You say you don't want to cook and you just want to eat takeout all the time, but your girlfriend is concerned about the waste of money that is, which, ding ding, SHES RIGHT, so I'm guessing she cooks more to compensate for that.

    Font - Rather than addressing her concerns, or just, you know, having an adult conversation about it and finding a compromise, you completely refuse to own up to your own problems and what you're doing that could contribute to this situation. You sound like an entitled child. You completely disregard the commenters trying to reason with you. The way you talk about your girlfriend is obnoxious, rude, and disrespectful. This doesn't even sound real.
