Has Your Partner Influenced Your Choice Of Food? by Deeprooted(op): 3:11pm On Jul 06, 2025
I don't know if this should be here or in the family section.

About 5 years into the marriage, my wife been able to influence me into not being a fan of meat 🍖🥓 generally. The last time I had meat was around 3 years ago.

This is basically because my wife does not like meat, she has been able to get me so much in love with fish 🐟🐠.

Na you influence your partner abi na the other way round?

Pictures for illustration

Re: Has Your Partner Influenced Your Choice Of Food? by wunmi590(m): 7:26pm On Jul 07, 2025
huh

Yes, she has greatly, there are some food I don't eat, she has been able to influence me to eat them, but she has refused to eat my own food, which is egg and sardine, she said the smell of the sardine always makes her vomit...


So most times I only eat it when she's not at home or if I've to, she wont enter into the kitchen for that day, until the smell and all the plates I used is thoroughly washed 😆 🤣 😂

It is true that your partner preference can affect yours.

I used to love spaghetti while my wife hated it and it made me dislike it now

If you can't adjust, compromise, sacrifice, be selfless, marriage is not for you ...

Enough of all these childish questions...

Re: Has Your Partner Influenced Your Choice Of Food? by HydraFeeds(m): 7:36pm On Jul 07, 2025
It's the wife that should influence husband's food choice cos she's the one that cooks them .

Except the husband is an authoritarian, my way or the highway type .

Re: Has Your Partner Influenced Your Choice Of Food? by MightySparrow: 7:52pm On Jul 07, 2025
Pretty much. My wife has changed my pounded yam mentality as an Ekiti man to amala herself being Oyo.

You could almost don't feel salt in my mother's food but now......?😂
Re: Has Your Partner Influenced Your Choice Of Food? by spencekat(m): 7:52pm On Jul 07, 2025
My take is avoid whatever you don't like, as for me, I don't dislike eating any edible food.I don't have any favourite as food, just allow me chop mine in peace as I won't influence you to eat what you don't like.
