A ray peat forum is probably not a recommended place to discuss relationship trouble, but I figured this is the only place people might relate lol. I'm 21 and in a 9 month relationship. She's 23 and super sweet. I made it clear a long time ago that I don't want to eat PUFA's so basically no nuts and oils other than coconut or a little olive oil and butter. Her being sweet replaced all cooking oils with coconut oil.
The main problem is that she really loves to cook and wants to try out new things to eat all the time. I hate being the one to "ruin" this all the time. I'm happy that she never uses oils etc. but if you're someone that wants to cook a lot then you can't really not use cheese, butter etc. especially if you yourself don't care about peating. I find it so cool that she cooks for me and also takes my wishes into account, but at the same time deep down I really just wanna eat a diet of rice, skim milk, oj, a bit of chocolate and pretty much nothing else. I think all the little exceptions I make on a daily basis has me close to 10 grams PUFA a day, whereas before I averaging about 1-2 grams, and it just makes me feel kinda shitty mentally, and physically I notice that my skin has never aged so fast as in the past 9 months.
She never really gets mad about it, but always very dissapointed. We do love each other very much. It's just a really tough situation. I'm aware that I'm the "weird one" here (I mean what percentage of people minimize PUFA intake) which makes the potential breakup decision harder, because I don't think any girl would want to put up with a peat diet.
Has anyone had a similar situation?
