They say that the best way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Which doesn’t work anatomically . . . but it looks good in a meme. And if that’s the case, maybe we shouldn’t spend so much time arguing about food.
In a new poll, 45% of couples say they argue about where to go out to eat. And that’s probably conservative. A while back I heard that the average couple argues 156 times every year over where to order dinner from. My husband and I used to argue about that a lot, but it’s much better than it used to be.
The rest of the seven most common arguments couple have about food are:
2. My partner doesn’t cook as often as I’d like them to . . . 42%.
3. One of us followed a recipe incorrectly . . . 42%.
4. What to cook for dinner . . . 35%. This is probably our biggest argument because we cook a lot, but I usually just decide and he eats it, since I do most of the cooking.
5. What groceries to buy . . . 37%.
6. What the grocery budget should be . . . 20%.
7. Who should cook dinner . . . 10%.
And 43% of people say they’ve dumped someone because they were a bad cook.
