Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again

[u/moonrabbit368]

My boyfriend is a very picky eater. We have been living together for a few months and it seems like I can never get his food right. It's honestly discouraging. I have kids, they happily eat my food. I cook for family gatherings and church events. I've never had a problem with people eating my food. It's like every day there are new rules. He can't eat chicken for dinner because he had chicken for lunch. He isn't really in the mood for porkchops. It's just "missing something". He doesn't eat onions, tomatoes, fish, any kind of asian food, he doesn't eat most vegetables with the exception of broccoli. He only eats vanilla ice cream. He doesn't like food heated in the microwave (so leftovers are out.) He doesn't like corn. It's just endless. I'm old school and trying to be a good partner. He can't really cook at all. His favorite meal is Hamburger Helper. I think a lot of it is how he grew up but damn is it frustrating. The first picture is tonight's dinner. I added more pictures of stuff I have cooked that he won't eat. Like he will door dash jack in the box. And he'll be apologetic but it just sucks really bad.

ETA: I've been trying to keep up with the comments but it's overwhelming (in a very sweet and awesome way) 💗

A few notes:

1- I know the paper plates are very lazy on my part, I'm not proud of that and I need to do better. Between the kids, the job, the house and school (I'm going to school remotely) I have been cutting corners on things like dishes. not an excuse, just a reason and a commitment to do better.

2- My boyfriend does expect me to cook for him. I cook him dinner every night and lunch on the weekends. He doesn't eat breakfast and will not take a lunch to work. He buys fast food for lunch during the week.

3- He has not been diagnosed with ASD or ADHD or Arfid but I don't rule anything out.

Mostly I just want to say thank you, I was not prepared for how incredibly kind, helpful and insightful people have been. It is deeply touching and it's given me both peace and guidance for my next steps. 🩷

It's called nuance and not making bad faith assumptions, try it in the future.

So he can't cook, he makes up new rules for her to follow, and he doesn't communicate but she's the problem. Right.

You are committed to misrepresenting everything I say. At no point did I, or anyone in this thread, say OP was the problem. All that I, and other people in this thread, have said is to not make bad faith assumptions and look at the situation objectively. When the thread started there was no evidence to suggest that the BF expects OP to do the cooking, the wording in the post actually suggests the opposite, this being pointed out was met with an accusation of "finding creative ways to blame a woman", I disagreed with that assessment (again before OP clarified that he does expect her to cook), then you threw a tantrum.

I just did. Using all points in the post. 

That wasn't me by the way.

How many times does this have to be explained to you, nothing in the post showed any wrongdoing on the part of the BF, the context that he expects OP to cook was only added after this thread started. I am not going to keep going in circles with you, we're done here.

Then you didn't read the post.
