[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 491518, member: 88961"] [SIZE=3]As a stubborn person whose OH can be stubborn[/SIZE]2[SIZE=3], we have had the odd stand-off over the years. One thing I do know is that pushing and pushing a stubborn person to change is likely to make them dig in even further.[/SIZE] In your shoes, I would want to have a conversation with him, but it would be more acknowledging the issue than pleading for him to change. I would then ask him to plan the meals for a while, or to compile a list of the meals he would like to eat. You may get some fresh ideas and some of his list might actually be OK, and may give you some common ground to move forward from. If they're all horrendous, diet wise, perhaps you can agree how often you could cook some of his preferences. Food and mealtimes are so fundamental to the dynamic of the family group, it's not good if the dinner table becomes a battle ground. I am assuming the whole family eats the food you cook, and you're not cooking differently for him? [/QUOTE]
