New boyfriend won't dine out. Ever.

[Beautifulbouquet]

I've started seeing someone. He told me yesterday that he doesn't like dining out. Ever.

He would rather I cook or he cooks and if the relationship continues will apparently never go out for brunch or lunch or dinner with me.

I could of course dine out with friends without him. He would not come for example to any meal with friends he was invited to.

His reason is he is vegan and he says he doesn't trust chefs not to contaminate his food.

I honestly feel like saying I cannot see this relationship going anywhere.

He's got mental problems - surprised you needed to even ask here - move on immediately.....

You really need to read the thread, and the room!

You don't need to be mean, just because you can.

Well, exactly. It sounds like the world's shittest honeymoon period...

Of course he doesn't. And he won't use public transport for fear of illness? And flying/airports/foreign places/sun/snow affect him? Mobile phone irradiation? Foil hat optional

Best comment over. The bar for men is truly in Hades. Be a boring smelly killjoy and you deserve a woman.

No he sounds really cheap and tight

This Fosters is vegan

Can he go to vegan restaurants there are loads about. This is annoying but there are far worse things :-)

Best wishes for the future 🕊️And I really think you should tell him about the Fosters (ironic twist that he arrived with a 4 pack of it 🧐😂😂😂) in possibly a final text. He will be more upset years down the line when he eventually stumbles upon the truth. I'm a vegetarian and I know I would be shocked if I found that my beer of choice wasn't vegetarian - I had no idea about this aspect of beer & wine until this thread; fortunately the beer I drink turns out to be vegetarian - so although he is ludicrously obsessive and I loathe Antifa, I have sympathy for him on this level.

Read the updates

Nope 😂😂

I really like the sound of your different food cupboards, and your plans for your new ones.

I’m sorry you’re not really compatible with each other, but it’s for the best.

When the dust has settled, let him know about the Fosters though.

This

You are sad because he’s a nice guy with issues. But you can’t solve them and you certainly don’t have to live with them.

@Beautifulbouquet Thai and Greek? You racist.

When the dust has settled, let him know about the Fosters though.

Definitely

And you don't need to be, to be worthy of someone who loves you and that you love (and enjoy spending time with!)

I can't imagine who @hehehesorry Thinks I should put up with, just because I'm over 50 and fat 😫

Too much effort for me! Sounds awful but also how very sad

Nothing wrong with being sad. But tomorrow will come and it will be better.

Ugh, who being a 4 pack of fosters to the swings?

There are some fab vegan restaurants out there OP but the beach would break it for me…. I couldn’t lie there for two weeks but I walk, swim and scuba. I took a bf to my favourite Greek island about 10 years ago and only when we were there did he say that he didn’t like beaches. Tiny islands with no English bars so he was a total PITA.

Attraction and emotions are mre important than eating out, so if you find him attractive and think the relationship could go somewhere, stick with him, and suggest you go to vegan restaurants.

I think you’ve done the right thing. Despite saying at the beginning of dating that he wanted someone to go for lunches, holidays, days out and have affection and fun with, after a few months my ex wouldn’t go anywhere except walk through the streets and look in charity shops, eat anywhere except Weatherspoons during the special offer time, go on holiday, hug or kiss or have sex or eat anything he had said he liked at the beginning. It got worse over time and he also stopped washing much. They just want things their own way after they think they’ve secured us.

I really don't think she meant this literally! It was satire

Sorry? What?
