I told my boyfriend I didn't like his mom's cooking?

[Anonymous]

I decided to be upfront and honest about his mom's cooking because I always feel pressured to eat when she cooks because they kind of make me. I find her food very salty and sometimes kinda bland. I feel bad because he thinks very highly of his mom's cooking. He kind of reacted in a way that was kinda covering up that he was disappointed. Am I right for telling him I don't like it? He knows I'm a picky eater and I didn't really want to sugarcoat my feelings because that's not the person I am. I don't know I don't really feel like I should apologize cause I feel like it's something I should feel guilty about, but I want to know how everyone else feels

Just like your boyfriend I love my mother's cooking. we grew up eating it, making memories as a family together for diner or making a meal. so for him he's probably sharing a important part of him with you through his mom's cooking. your aren't wrong to say how you feel. just ask him to pressure you less on eating her food

Okay thanks! I understand his point of view a little better. It's not really him that makes me eat it's his mom. I just don't want to make her upset I guess?

nothing wrong with the honesty he needs to understand that his mom is not a master chef and he should be down with you playing the game and smiling and noding at times

I think you did nothing wrong but also let him know that you can understand if he feels hurt but honesty makes relations stronger.

NEVER EVER TELL SOMEONE THAT THEIR MOMS COOKING IS BAD, ARE YOU INSANE?

[Asker]

I didn't say bad. I told him I didn't like it. Some of it is really good, like her beans. I just don't like the majority of it.

that's still a big nono
