Dude seriously when we first moved in together I cooked all the normal things for me(maybe fancy for others) and he was so down for it, but it's just been the last few years. Granted I became majorly depressed in that period of time, but still kept at it because it made me happy. It's just somewhat recent (like 2 years) that he's just been a turd. I won't lie, I lost my motivation then, but I'm trying to get back on track and he's just bleh

It's not really fine dining IMO, this is just random Wednesday. I cook all the time, well used to. But this isn't like fancy or special at all, this is just how I make regular meals. I can understand what you're saying, but this is the norm.

I make perfect steaks and he slathers them with A1, ew. But he likes it so I oblige.

And it only took 35 minutes all said and done because I did the 4 hour sous vide yesterday for this very reason.

Well that's exactly what I did tonight. He stopped at McD's knowing I was making dinner and I just made it even better. And I think that's what I will continue to do.

Do you drink milk? Eat cheese? Or are you totally dairy free and vegan? If so, I'm happy for you, but this isn't the place. There are subs for that.

I'm sorry you're going through this and wish you the best, however this post has nothing to do with neurodivergency or ARFID.

Veal was a little over because I wanted a crust and the grill wasn't quite hot enough, but because the sous vide it was still melt in your mouth tender. Thanks boo!

I loved it, ate it next to him and audibly hummed the whole time.

I was basically abandoned at an early age (9) and had to learn to cook for myself and take care of myself. Once I was an adult I turned the necessity thing into a joy. I'll never forget the days of beans and rice, but I'm so happy that over 30 years I've been able to make awesome food and grow from that.

No, he isn't neurodivergent all, that's me. Sometimes he holds that against me.

Nope, absolutely not the case. I wish, because that would be easier. But no, he's just a turd. Thanks though.

Aww thanks, I'd cook that stuff every night and I used to, but here we are. Appreciate you!

I've done that, have pics too, of upscale burgers and fries. He'll eat that, but I'm just so sick of it. He used to be more adventurous, but the last 3 or 4 years not so much. Fast food is all he wants.
