food divide
Dear Prudence, Because my husband grew up in a country with very different cuisine, he likes much spicier foods than I do. Until we got married, this was never a problem. Recently we've made an effort to cook more at home to save money. Naturally, there has been some give and take regarding what we'll eat. I have a real problem though, with almost anything he makes, as he spices his food at all stages of cooking, so I can't eat any of it without burning my mouth. Not one dish. Granted, I'm glad he's willing to help in the cooking duties, but I need blander food. But, when I tried talking to him about it, he got hurt. Until this, everything was OK, now I'm walking on eggshells around him. To be honest, I really don't think I was mean, I just told him his spice choices were too much for me. Tell me, am I being overly critical?
