While I was listening to my newly married colleague complained how tough it is to adjust to married life as far as food preferences and tastes is concerned, I couldnt help but agree more. The 1st 5 blissful months of marriage is what essentially motivates him from complaining about how 'poorly' his wife cooks. Shin keeps these thoughts to himself and just try not to say something. The rest of my colleagues tell him that he should be open and honest about how he feels so his wife could adjust. They just cautioned him to think about how he should be communicating to her.

I wanted to add up that it's not really a matter of changing someone but for both to adjust in order to meet half-way. The issue on differences in food taste seems very pathetic, but let's face it food is a basic necessity and something that we consume everyday. My ex partner tried his best to change my food preference and my taste and that stressed me a lot because I didn't feel he did the same thing for me. My taste buds somehow evolved in the process, but in the end it still wasn't enough.
