How do I get my husband to eat the food that I cook?

Devdude	There has to be a compromise. I hate picky eaters because I will eat anything my wife puts in fromt of me. I am greatful she is willing to cook for me. Difficult people really stink. It sounds like his Mother coddled him as a child. Remember this mothers - dont raise boys you wouldnt want to date.

bina64davis	Honey, if he won't eat the food you cook, tell him to cook for himself. Don't make his plate, don't pick the freaking meat off his bones. When you spoil men like this, they will always continue to want more and want YOU to do more. He is a big boy. Eat, or cook his own food.

eddie4306	If you cook it he will come. Just like a puppd dog. When he gets hungry enough he will eat whatever you cooked

jenivive	cook ur meals and eat what u cook. he doesnt like it then tell him to fix his own....its what my mom did and my dad either ate or warmed up a can of beans

nightman122554	tell him to go to his mother house and eat and just cook for your self he come around or he dont eat treat him like a kid youre his wife

kitkat	Cook and he will eat, starve or fix himself something. Don't turn into his mommy, you are his WIFE!!!!

wishtodream	Put togther a stack of recipes and ask him to pick a few out he'd like to eat. If he's seen the recipes, he will know what is in the food. That way he's bound to feel more comfortable eating it.

memo460	that's a huge mental problem lady...i have that lie when i eat my beans cant touch the rice i wont eat it and the meat either and i eat always with the same spoon fork and knife.. tell him that you'll cook but he will need to serve it him self that's the way it work for me.

amazin'g	Let him cook his own food!

Student	Men are like baby's they whine ALL the time,so just eat yourself and let him starve!

plumcouch30	mu hubby is so very picky.find out what things he really likes.i mean i have to strain spaghetti sauce before i can cook it cause he has texture issues.its frustrating but i know what my hubby likes i almost always make the same thing 2 diffrent ways to suit him and the rest of the family.dont take it personal and just ask him what he likes and how he likes it then make it 2 ways if you have 2 it will get easier i promise,

lauren0459	mine was like that the first year we were together. but i just kept cooking the way i always had and he eventually ate it because he didnt want to cook anything himself. maybe your will do the cooking for both of you? mine still critizes my cooking but i just tell him that the minute he wants to get off his butt and cook is the minute he can begin to complain. i understand where your coming from. dont let it get you down, you know and i know that you are a good cook and hes just being silly. my advise is to keep doing what your doing and if he doesnt eat what you make (then save it and eat it for lunch), but do NOT make him anything special to eat; he has to learn to eat what you make. i know that sounds harsh, but its the way it has to be if you want him to eat your food.

John	Asks him what he wants to eat and he will let you know. Buy some cooking magazine. It's better than cookbook. One magazine has tons of recipe. If you bought a cookbook, you are stuck with that one cookbook. Cooking magazine is cheaper and they are more creative.

Shelly	I can see how you don't feel appreciated. I sort of know how you feel. I love tomatoes, but my husband hates them. I put them in my spaghetti every time. He just pushes them to the side of the plate. Figure out something he really does like...maybe something with shredded chicken...and make it like a build-your-own-plate kind of meal. What about like open face tacos or something? He can kind of choose the ingredients, but you can have what you like, too. Eventually, maybe he'll come around.

BROCKER	Tell him that his mistress cooked and delivered the next meal

puggylover	If he doesn't eat what you make tell him he can make his own dinner. He will either eat, cook, or starve. Also, if you know what he does like try making that for him. Try something new and maybe he will like it. I got lucky my husband would eat anything I put in front of him.

Canadian Girl	First of all, tell him that if he doesn't appreciate your effort then you aren't going to cook for him anymore, then stop cooking for him. I don't cook for my husband. We share all responsibilties. Maybe you are too submissive to him, and eager to please that he doesn't respect you, and takes your cooking for granted. I don't mean to be rude. It's just been my experience that guys prefer more of a challenge

Cassie	sometimes guys can be so stuborn lol ... sry ive no answer to that ....

happyflamepepper	Start cooking for yourself and let him do his own cooking, then he wont be so picky!

Smiles	That's kind of ridiculous. It sounds like he's just taking advantage of your kindness and seeing what he can get you to do for him. I would cook him some food that you both like and maybe cook yourself some food that you like. If he chooses not to eat it, that's his own problem. I wouldn't pick the meat off for him. He should go out to eat if he doesn't appreciate the work you already put in for him.

dianesomeone	cook what he likes

trish p	I go through the same thing, my husband will eat t if he is really hungry, and i have been a cook for over 12 years, so i no my food is good. i have given up, i dont make him dinner, he ome sin and there is nothing waiting for him then he asks for me to make him kraft dinner (yuk) and i tell him no, i made dinner already, and he can make it himself, it works for me. good luck. ps i think it may have somthing to do with the way there mother cooked for them, they want her food. lol

joddie	allow him do the cooking

True Brit	Argh! I hate picky eaters! (I bet he's skinny, too!) Suggest you take turns in cooking. Tell him you'll eat what he cooks if he eats what you cook. And if that doesn't work, make him a sandwich while you have the meal you fancy.

ash	Stop spoon feeding him. If he is hungry he will get up and make his own grub.

the rocking one	dont cook for him babes. he lll surely come to you and apologize after getting frustratingly hungry. ta da!!

ReLLzWifey07	Find out what and how he likes to eat and compromise. If that doesn't work, make him cook his own food!

ghostwalker077	lol leave the poision out lol,,,dont worried , i was like that too, but i learn ,,lol dont have any more teeth ,lol but i eatten lol

georgiarose_01	I raised my children that when I cook supper, if they didn't like it they could go to bed hungry. They broadened their tastebuds!!The same would apply to my husband. I can see not cooking something that you know he doesn't like but picking the meat off the bone for him, etc, come on, You are spoiling him to expect meals to be catered to him. Explain that this is not a buffet, he's not a child and you are not his mother!! I'd probably skip a meal or so just to remind him to appreciate your efforts!! But I'm sorta rebellious in that way.

Grub	Sounds like he views you more as his mother than his wife. Just fix what you want, and if he doesn't want to eat it it's his loss. Maybe he snacks a lot during the day.
