This might seem extremely silly lol. My fiance and I have been cohabitating for years and have a very traditional relationship (covid ruined our 2020 wedding plans) My fiance hates vegetables and refuses to eat them except for a little in a smoothie. He's the youngest of a middle eastern family and got away with eating/doing whatever he wanted whenever and is does (at his parents). He's not overweight but his doctor wants him to eat healthier because he's at risk for health problems. I once put shredded zucchini in some cheesy rice and used mashed cauliflower in a recipe. He enjoyed it thoroughly and complimented it but when I told him what was in it he got grosses out and won't eat it again. It's a mental aversion and as long as he doesn't know he's fine. I've always wanted to make zucchini chocolate muffins but he flat out refuses to try one. Tonight we went to my friends house and she made some zucchini muffins. I gave one to him without letting him know what type it was. He loved them so much and raved about them. He loved how they weren't as sweet as normal ones and how he liked them more than any other chocolate muffin. Which is true he doesn't like overly sweet things. I got the recipe for her and want to make them but as soon as he knows what's in it he'll change his mind about them and refuse them. Is it okay to have small little secrets like this. What he doesn't know won't hurt him right? Or do you think lying to him about what's in these of he asks will ruin his trust.
