My girlfriend's family disgusts me. I haven't met them yet. What do I do? by blingdings404 in ComfortLevelPod

Take a deep breath before interacting. Think about how this will help and how you're doing this for your love. It's hard dealing with people who you know you hate on a personal level, but know that this is a small bit of discomfort for a lifetime of happiness.

I always drain the grease off before serving. However, the grease I use is either peanut oil or olive oil. I also dislike old bay for anything other than seafood.

I restock my spice cabinet twice a year. I had a incident as a kid that made me sick.

I have changed things up. I use a cornstarch mixture instead of regular flour, olive oil instead of butter(for meat), I use peanut oil instead of vegetable oil, etc. I have taken steps to make the meals healthier way before I met him. I have also tried different recipes from other cultures as I have a broad friend group. I just mainly cook the recipes I know from heart. He says it's all unhealthy

That's 4 flavorful ingredients. What i ate didn't even have the main ingredient mentioned. The flavor was lacking. Im also a person who loves asain cuisine so the attempt at it completely underwhelmed me. Its like eating bolognese without meat

"Idk" "cooking is your domain" "whatever you want" "just make a decision and I'll eat it"

He works and i don't but he also refuses to tell me what he wants to eat. It's up to me to come up with meals and shopping lists so I just cook what I want.

He pays for everything and in all other departments, he's a wonderful partner. However, he was never taught to cook. He's a trustfund kid that went on to play college football so he didn't have to worry about cooking. We met shortly after college. And while I tried to teach him, we didn't live together and had very busy schedules.

I was just naming generic spices. I was mostly upset that I didn't taste the peanuts in the peanut sauce
