This man is in no position to be commenting on his girlfriend's well-rounded meal prepping. Considering he is incapable of making anything more complex than a Bagel Bites plate, he should not be allowed to make snide comments, impolite nitpickings, and crude jokes about her food.
In my experience, that's the kind of ungratefulness that sends you straight to bed with no dessert, but in this case, it sent his hardworking girlfriend instead to the Internet to seek a community of support from strangers. Remarkably, yet unsurprisingly, the resounding conclusion wasn't that her cooking was inadequate, but that her partner was severely lackluster and in need of a wakeup call.
Wake up, man! You're 40 years old and don't know how to use the pots and pans in the kitchen. If you're picky, learn to cook. If you can't eat particular foods because you don't like them, figure out what you like. That's not up to your girlfriend, a working mom juggling a career, night school, and a full-grown manchild boyfriend to figure out. Perhaps since he's so critical of her cooking, he can pick up the bag of shredded cheese, throw down a tortilla onto a plate, and manage a microwaved meal fit for a 5-year-old. Time to act your age.

Entitled boyfriend expects his partner to cook his meals, but when the working mom vents online about his picky eating habits, she realizes he's the problem, not her cooking: 'It's like every day there are new rules'
Don't like what's for dinner? Perhaps it's time to cook for yourself…
This boyfriend hid his cooking incompetence behind an ill-refined palette, but when his traditional girlfriend started getting tired of making him uneaten meals, his pickiness was no longer endearing but positively discouraging.
One of the first meals I ever learned to cook was a microwaved quesadilla. Crazy, I know, but assembling a single tortilla and a handful of shredded cheese was quite the feat for a hungry 5-year-old, but the payout was insane. Melted cheese, warm tortilla, and a full tummy awaited if I could only reach the buttons on the microwave. Determined, I wouldn't let my size stand in the way of a good meal. However, this level of chef mastery is something that some people can never achieve, even well into adulthood. In my family, we'd call that arrested development, and the longer a manchild adult refuses to fend for themselves in the kitchen, the longer they put off their full frontal cortex development.
Unless you can cook for yourself, can you really even call yourself a functioning adult?
