Did you not know how picky she was before you married her? Did you think it would magically disappear?
She either hid it well or I was too busy partying to notice (mid 20's).
Are you seriously suggesting I should feed my kids boxed macaroni for dinner? Cause that's pretty much how she got where she is.

People on the spectrum often have a limited number of foods they will eat.
Posted on 8/13/20 at 2:04 pm to STrugglin
I don't understand people like this.
There are plenty of foods I dislike, but I eat them anyway, because I'm an adult, and hey, that's life.
Don't like it? Eat it anyway. You won't die.

The positive is that you can.cook.what you like.
If you want steak and seafood and bbq 4 times a week, you can have it.
Teach your kids well. Also teach them that mom is not normal. It is neither good nor bad, but it's not normal.

As a side, it's fine. There is nothing wrong with it. Make some grilled chicken (or whatever sort of chicken meets your standards), steam some broccoli or cook another green veg, and mac-n-cheese. Every family meal doesn't have to be high-end gourmet, or in the exact mold of the meals your parents served you. There is a middle ground between "exactly the way I want" and "exactly the way she wants".
Look, I eat anything...seriously. And I have some pretty high standards about what I eat, day in and day out. But my spouse grew up in a household without seafood, and he still doesn't eat much of it at all. He was raised by a "better from the box" mama, and I had two working parents who cooked from scratch. These differences aren't grounds for divorce, it's just more shrimp for me. Compromise....and respect.
Peace to you & your picky spouse. Hope you can gently ease her into broadening her horizons at some point in the next 50 years of marriage.

What about meat from Rouses?
Posted on 8/13/20 at 2:52 pm to STrugglin
Wow.
Well my advice would have been not to marry someone like this if them enjoying food the way you do is a compatibility issue (it would be for me), but you're already married and sharing children with her so its too late for that
As long as you love her and she shares your desire for the children to not be picky like her, I wouldn't let it get to you. Let her work out her own food preferences (just like anyone with a dietary need does) and continue living as normal. Obviously, don't intentionally cook grand meals she hates, but I certainly wouldn't only eat the things she likes either.
If she throws away half her plate, so be it. As long as she's on the same page as you with the kids, I'd just let her eat how she wishes. Although, I think I'd ask her not to put the foods she doesn't like on her plate to begin with just for waste reasons.
People like this intrigue me. We like to get the group together and go to a restaurant and order nearly the entire menu.. passing things around and making it a whole experience. I can't imagine the FOMO someone must have being there and only nibbling on their chicken tenders that were ordered off the menu. That in itself would eliminate my pickiness. But I understand that for some, it goes deeper than this.

Can you give us some examples of what she does like to eat?
It sounds like you're at least able to make somewhat normal meals and she can just add/remove items. For example, you can make burgers and she just eats hers plain. Can make chili and she eats hers over noodles. etc.
As long as she isn't calling attention to it or making a fuss, and is just handling it herself, I'd almost be inclined to act like the pickiness isn't even there.

Picky eater and this...

I tried that. It was a disaster. She can't cook. I tried to teach her but she has too much pride.

So, chicken nuggets and pizza only? Sounds like you have a 5 year old bride.

I asked her to name 10 dishes she would eat and she couldn't. Makes cooking a bitch and it's borderline embarrassing at restaurants or friend's houses.

What about the bone in variety of fried chicken?

So she can eat something she likes at home before she goes to a group gathering with food, or to a restaurant. I have friends who keep kosher, or who are celiac, or have other major food restrictions due to health issues: they manage their food issues like grownups, without calling attention to themselves or sitting at home and whining. Does she make a big deal out of it, or are you the one making the big deal? If it's her, then you can have non-threatening conversations about how she handles the issues.
All kidding aside, don't be afraid of therapy. It's cheaper than divorce.

buddy of mine married a gal like this, he was all proud of her for eating his scrambled eggs. actually said that aloud - "she's getting better, I got her to try my scrambled eggs"

Her parents did her a terrible disservice. I couldn't be married to some one that picky. Good luck.
My wife always cuts around any and all fat on steaks because "fat is bad for you and is fattening" no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince her otherwise. I pointed out the other day that if she really believed that, why does she only eat the yolk when I make fried eggs? Logic didn't stand a chance against her. I'm not sure what I was thinking.
