People always think that they are compatible if they share more or less a common understanding in big subjects, but stuff like these really test you.
One of my exes hated onion, and when I look back, this made my life way more insufferable than having to hear the (to me) weird political opinions. "Oh I'd like to have this salad but please no onion, and please don't use a knife that's used to cut onion when preparing!". "I think I smell onion, apparently they ignored the knife comment, can you tell them to pack this and maybe you can eat it back home and I'll just go to the [insert food stall name], so meet in 15 mins there?". Ugh.
I've had a few girlfriends and female friends who "don't like onion". It's incredibly common. I simply never mention onion again and not once have I received a complaint about the presence of onion in pretty much every single dish I prepare. I think it's just the word they don't like.
It would be a complete deal breaker if they actually complained about onion or imagined they could taste it.
Asking nicely and not protesting when they didn't manage is okay in my book, to be honest. That was not the problem. Having to experience stuff like these (everyone has their quirks) regularly and learning to deal with it is the hard part in a relationship, is what I'm saying.
Having to experience weird behaviour on a more or less regular basis is not how relationships are supposed to work, thats what I'm saying. There are spouses out there who treat their partner with respect and love, not like a tool to be used to fix up anoyances in life.
Thats my point. Certain people just love drama, and even want casual online discussions like this one to show how dangerous the world is, and how right picky people are in being right... Drama(queen)s all around, what would our world be without first-world problems...
