christ aliiiiiiiive

you could have mentioned this to me at any time! instead of letting me think it was one of the like THREE things we can both eat happily!

why do you think I make it every week. BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T HATE IT.

what the fuck DO you like then. apart from raw meat and tomato sauce.

At that point it becomes 'if you don't like what I make, you cook'

GhrelinGremlin: then he gets upset when I don't like anything he cooks

my mom: So, what, he's just going to resist anything you try to feed him?
me: no, he's just going to suffer in silence I guess
my mom: well, fine

like???? it's fine that we have different tastes??? why are you constantly nagging about what we're going to have for dinner collectively when you won't like whatever I come up with?

just feed yourself and leave me alone!

Jesus hecking Christ

it's like he's determined to control everything and being a fucking martyr is the only way he can do it

it's...not that complicated to just...fix your own meal if you don't want what everyone else is eating?

just treat this like a roommate situation, bro

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT

and he and mom have this weird thing where they're both convinced they have to provide meals for the other?

if I get lunch out w/mom she's all WE SHOULD GET SOMETHING FOR T

and I'm like "he doesn't even like this restaurant, he'll be fine"

but then he seems to think neither of us will eat at all if we're not policed about it

and it's like. how about! you just fix what you want! and ask us if we want any!

I know or THINK I know!!!! a couple of things my mom makes that he likes and I don't

I just

I'm not gonna force you to eat my cooking dude

if it's easier than making your own then fine, but at least don't let me think you're actually enjoying it

ARGH. That sounds incredibly disempowering to hear as well as deeply infuriating! T, I hate to break it to you but as a vegetarian I have periodically made my own meals alongside household meals for years and it is just no big deal!

Also "suffering in silence" is not Polite!

It is actually REALLY rude!

im so frustrated

I do not blame you at all. That's incredibly frustrating. And hurtful!
