How To Manage An Unhealthy Partner

Compromise When Making Meal Choices

Many couples experience different dietary requirements due to differing tastes or allergies. If you and your partner are experiencing conflict over what types of foods to eat and avoid, try having a mature conversation about it and make the effort to meet somewhere in the middle. Compromise is essential in all relationships, and no one should be left feeling as though they are making all the sacrifice all the time. When planning meals together try incorporating something your partner likes but also ask your partner to accept something you like. For example, use the rich gravy but skip on the dairy. Dr. Weber suggests, “It’s good to start with validating what they like before trying to control it.” This strategy will help create a win-win situation at the dining table.
