So, my husband is an adamant vegan who does not like much fat in his diet at all. He likes very plain/mushy/gruel-like dishes. He hates tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, anything too exotic, capers, eggplant, zucchini, bone broth, coconut, any type of squash, many other things, etc.
Basically, he only eats lentils, rice, and onions. He doesn't even like salt or vinegar.
I prefer eating with more variety, flavor, and actually chewing.
I try to tell him that I'm fine with him eating as he pleases, but i don't really like his food, and he doesn't need to cook for me, but he's very insistent, as he thinks I don't eat healthy enough (because I often use things like coconut oil, butter, eggs, dark meat chicken, frying things up or baking them with oil, pickled veggies, etc).
And no, I'm not fat (I'm 5'10 and 125 lbs, he's 5'9 and 180). Both of us are healthy as can be (we recently got very in-depth check-up).
This is literally the only thing we argue about. He's super against eating different meals since "family should eat the same thing".
I'm willing to force down his food (which he accepts no suggestions on) a few times a week, but I'd really like to actually enjoy eating...

I would think this was something you guys fingered out before getting married
When I got married, my wife (now ex) knew I was OCD about nutrition and my health. Neither of us forced our diet upon each other. It was a good understanding.
Tell him bollox the miserable sod!!!! to " eating " all that crap!, Even a rabbit would give him the finger if he " suggested " that to it let alone his own wife!.
Seriously though you're a saint for just being willing to compromise but why isn't he? Personally If it was me and he wouldn't let off on this and he won't listen to me I'd be going Burger King, KFC, the works until he gave in
And your diet sounds very healthy well certainly compared with mine!, infact show him some of my posts on that " what's for dinner " thread and he'll soon see how luckily he is to have you

"Sorry, honey. But they were all out of lentils at the grocery store. But they do have a sale on baby back ribs. Got some corn too. Fire up the grill."
Let him know that eating dinner together, at the same time, is a luxury a lot of couples don't have. Eating the same thing; not required to make that time special.
