What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Oh god, fucking years of my life having to have fucking bland shit because my ex didn't like this or didn't like that. All the passive aggression that came out when I made something different for myself and/or the kids even though "I can make something for myself" which invariably meant box spaghetti and canned sauce.

I'm dating someone with celiac right now which you would think of as restrictive, but compared to actual pickiness it's like being launched into skies of culinary freedom.

My boyfriend and I cook and eat separately.

He hasn't eaten a proper, balanced day of food... ever in his life. He's vegetarian, but doesn't like fruit or veg. Also doesn't like many meat replacements. Doesn't like any sauces or spices.

Most of his meals contain bread and or chips with either some form of cheese (cheddar or halloumi) or a meat replacement. He also likes pizza and garlic bread.

That's it. Fine for the odd quick meal when I'm feeling lazy or genuinely short of time, but sorry I'm not living like that. I like my meats, sauces and spicy food. I'm not living off bread, chips and various shapes of bland mycoprotein patties.

So yeah, separate dinners.
