I see 2 options here: 1-tell him, like we did our kids, eat it and don't complain or go to bed without dinner or what my daughter told her kids, if you don't like it fix your own dinner. Either works or better yet, what I do with spoiled brat, I do try to fix him what he likes. He does know this after being married almost 59 years, so when I decide it is my way tonight he handles it pretty well.
BTW: I too love the white sauces. And I have to say, in our case spoiled brat has come along way in what he will eat. I guess when you are raised on overcooked everything and a very limited selection with no spices to marry someone who majored in foods and nutrition is an adjustment. We came from totally different backgrounds. Thank goodness he realized mine was more fun than his.
Haha. I see I'm not alone.
I have someone far worse to compare him to, so that helps. One of his friends has food preferences that are almost incomprehensible, like, likes spaghetti sauce, but no chunks of tomato. Likes lemon pie, but not lemons. Hates vegetables, except canned vegetables. Would not touch a salad.
Now, a man like that, I could not stand, unless he was very rich.
Tonight, it will be meatloaf. Jokingly called, his favorite thing. Another thing he professes not to like, but eats a ton of it.
SO has come a long ways and so have I. I do not bother him with Brussel Sprouts anymore and he quit asking me to eat a steak. I do not get the thrill of chicken wings but make them and he refuses tomatoes but plants and pampers them for me. Sometimes I get a "can we have that again". The most recent one was Scooby Snacks - nibbles of cheese, fruit, hard salami around home made very spicy flax crackers.

Or give him the option 'if you don't like or complain about what I cook then it is your turn to do the dishes'. I like that option.

If she cooks, then he should be doing the dishes anyway.
One of my coworkers is married to a food phobic like that. She once described how, when she bought the wrong kind of spaghetti sauce, she strained out the veggie chunks so that her husband would eat it. We were all looking at her like This is a grown man who is freaking out about tomato chunks. In tomato sauce. He might be wearing it if it were my guy.

That is someone who should own an immersion blender.

Wearing it was always an option. While I'm usually a very calm person, I can only suck up so much up before I have to pop. You don't want to be in the room when that happens.
