My S/O from the midwest. First sent me a mms this morning with a pic of breakfast she made and damn it looked yummy :takedat:, long story short she let me know midwestern women love to cook for their men but she feel uncomfortable cooking for me because she thinks I be judging her, real picky with my food and I can cook good. I told her I love her cooking but I like what I like when it comes to food. I just like normal food and stuff like she used to from being midwestern like deer, chicken gizzards, elk, snails, quail eggs and other stuff she wants me to try will have to be tried on a case by case basis or not at all. I even tried raw oysters for the first time last week. :scust:So this discussion led into another discussion which has resulted in her giving me the silent treatment now, I said "babe, when I ask you a question why don't you ever say YES or NO, its always hmmm mmm for YES or mmm mm for NO" . She explained that how she talk and thats how people talk from where she from. I told her I can't take her hmmm mmm's and mmmm mmm's seriously and it doesn't seem like a valid or serious confirmation or answer to my serious questions. I said I don't mind the hmmm mmm and mmm mmmm but serious questions please answer yes or no. I presented a scenario of getting married and if at the alter she would say "hmmmm hmm" for YES and she said I was being extra and reaching. She then accused me of being controlling and trying to change her and got real mad about it. She said F it and she would use YES and NO from now on and ask to not rebuke her way of communication. I pose this question to the coli, am I unreasonable with my request? She already posted a similar question on her GroupMe.

you're not in the wrong as far as your request but it depends on the way you presented it. when you gave her the wedding example, did you have a tone like you were clowning her for the way she speaks? she might be sensitive about it cause that might be how her momma talks, might be how her dad talks, etc.it's like you're asking her to sacrifice part of her style (eventhough it might be for the greater good of your relationship, i'm with you on that), you still gotta be empathetic in the way you request it, feel me?

EDIT: just read the post above mine and yeah, it also depends if you made your request for a righteous purpose or if it was out of pettiness.

What's her take?

What did she say on group on?
Her take is that I'm controlling, being like a teacher and a dictator. She thinks that she can't be her country self around me or in NJ. She hates NJ Btw. She then said maybe it's her period and her emotions.

Sounds like you molding her real good....and that's not a flake on educated, strong willed women. But she has to be able to have her Western feminists perspectives kicked over like Snoop in New York, and she will realize she likes a man to lead.

Edit: Poster that talked about being empathetic to her background is right. That is where she is from, and she may be sensitive if it sounds like you are attacking her heritage essentially.
