@Barry2021,
I want to know why you went to so much trouble for something when there was no sure chance of success.
Unless you were getting bored, and looking for something to complain about.
Look, I get it when you work on something very hard and it's not appreciated. I do! But at the same time, you've got a part in this little drama.
"Hey, honey, I saw this interesting recipe for burritos and was hoping to make it. Want to try it?"
And she'll either say yes or she'll say no.
If she says yes then go ahead. But be prepared for her not liking it. Sobeit.
If she says no, then either make just for yourself or don't make it at all.
As for her diet, that is a minefield if I ever saw one.
Don't go into a critique of someone's diet unless you know for sure there are issues with it. As in, that person is a diabetic, or they are actively trying to lose (or gain) weight, they have Crohn's, that sort of thing.
But
you're not the diet police. If she's healthy according to her doctor then she can have pork chops until the pigs come home. If she's not, then she needs to come around to handling her diet and changing it.
That part is not up to you. It is up to
her.
I have been everything from 136 to 346 in my adult life and I can tell you for a fact that the only way someone will truly change their eating habits is if
they want to do it. No amount of nagging will help and it only makes people dig their heels in even more.
Also, and not for nothin', but folks who are on the spectrum may select a meal over and over again because it's easy and/or it's comforting to know what they are getting themselves into.
Me, I eat virtually an identical lunch every single weekday. Why? Because I don't have to think about it. My husband sees no need to make me change this because it works for me. Your wife's pork chops and cereal and whatnot work for her.
This is, yet again, a case of
not your circus, not your monkeys.
