boyfriend eats charred food and won't stop - should I dump him?

[Citizen Erased]

I was forced to eat burnt meat today My boyfriends dad cooked dinner and managed to set it on fire. That's right. You think charred is bad? Try eating ASH whilst keeping a nice serene look on your face so he doesn't feel bad

 

Don't think I will be breaking up with my bf tho cos his dad only supplies burnt food haha

The only "problem" with his behavior, as I can see it, is that he burned everyone's food.

 

Are you seriously considering dumping someone because he likes his galbi cooked differently from the way that you like yours done? If he tries to insist that you eat your meat done the same way, then you can ask him to let you cook your own.

 

I'm worried about where your relationship is heading if you're going to make such a big deal about what he eats. Stop going out for cook-your-own food together, for the sake of your relationship. Seriously. It's not worth breaking up over, and since you can't let it go, just avoid the situation.

My boyfriend is in relatively good shape, but his behavior can really get out of hand.. About a month ago we had dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant with a bunch of his coworkers. As he was not skilled at cooking meat on the grill, ended up charring up a bunch of meat (really badly too) and eating all of it, much to my dissapproval. I kept telling him not to eat that stuff, but he keeps coming back with "I grew up eating this stuff. I have good genes. Good genes run in my family. I'm not gonna get cancer." I should add that he smokes a lot as well.. but that's another story.

 

So it happened again just last night.. he accidently charred up a bunch of meat, which I insisted he cut off all the blackened stuff before he ate it.. but he didn't listen, again insisting that his family has "good genes" and that his body can handle it. At the end of the night, I got so pissed off about it.. but he didn't show an ounce of care for my concerns about his health!! He kept charring his food, eating it, and saying "Some people are just born with good genes. I'm one of them."

 

Right now I am extremely worried about where our relationship is going because he just won't listen to me on this matter and he is acting self-destructive. We're currently living together, which makes it hard because I'm not sure if he can make it on his own financially if I left him. I do love him and he wants to marry me, but I don't want to marry someone who may end up dying young. Should I leave him?

 

 

Maybe he likes his meat that way... You anyone could end up having an accident and have loss of life at any time. Even the person who takes so much care with thier health can get cancer.

 

I would back off about the over cooked meat, he could honestly like the taste of it.

 

I would not leave him over the case of the over cooked meat, there are worse things that he could do, like lie and cheat... consider yourself lucky

Yes, this is true. The healthiest people can get cancer. Or drop dead of a heart attack. Or get hit by a car, or a bus.

 

Your house could blow up (google house explosion and Toronto) and in a flash you could be gone! (yes, this really happened earlier this past week in T.O)

On Yahoo answers one person said...

 

Would you rather be hit by a bus or see the movie Marie Antoinette with Kristen Dunce... Personally I liked that movie...LOL

There are some health risks, I guess that overcooked(charred meat) does have a chemical in it that increases cancer risks

OMG I haven't laughed so hard for awhile. This thread is hilarious.

 

Honestly, drugs and alcohol are bad, including smoking but your body can digest a lot worse things as long as it's not in large portions. We hurt ourselves everyday by drinking cow's milk and eating fast food.

Hmmm, I like charred meat too and the burnt parts on that delicious Stoufers Mac n Cheese.

 

I've been eating charred meat since a child (I prefer the ends that way) and I'm as healthy as one can be.

 

You are being ridiculous. Give the poor guy a break and stop NAGGING him to DEATH.

To be fair, you have a lot of years left to get cancer.

 

I'm just saying.

 

Saying that everyone effing dies of cancer.
