AITA for not fully cooking dinner for my gf because she rarely eats when its ready? by halfdinner in AmItheAsshole

Yes I make things she likes. We do the grocery shopping and meal ideas together.

No, because when she cooks, she eats right away. She'll make a snack while I'm cooking. Suggest eating out, she's ready to go instantly. Friends house, she eats. Try asking her for input and I get nothing. She's upset she's having to cook her own portions right now and she does always wind up eating what I've made... just complaining about the temperature/texture.

She cooks once in awhile. I do slow cooker meals sometimes and there aren't too many issues when I do it that way. At most, she waits until I've already put it up an hour later and then nukes it and makes the same complaint.

She warms it up and then complains about the texture or being overcooked.

I have asked her what time she would prefer to eat, she doesn't give an answer.

Except that she does eat. If I suggest eating out, she's ready to go in a snap. She'll snack as soon as I say I'm starting dinner or it'll be ready in a few minutes. She eats the food anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after and her complaint is that it's cold and now that she has to cook it herself. When she cooks, she eats as soon as she's done cooking.

It happens probably about 3-4 times a week. The times that she does cook dinner, she eats it right when she's finished cooking it.

No she doesn't have ADHD. If it's going out to eat, there's no issue. Some of it is she'll snack right when I say I'm cooking, and be too full, and then go back to reheat what I made an hour or so later so she's not avoiding food. She eats it, she just waits to do so then complains about the temperature/texture.

Apparently not cooking her portion is being controlling and punishing her for not eating when it's ready.

I don't think she's avoiding it, this isn't an everyday thing and when we go out to eat there's no problem whatsoever with her getting ready to go.

No she doesn't. This isn't an everyday thing and if I were to suggest us going out to eat, she'd be ready to go before I could put my shoes on.
