My bf has to put his chips on a paper plate to eat them. If we eat out, he will only eat buffalo chicken. If they don't have buffalo chicken then he will order a burger plain but, with cheese and then ask for buffalo sauce. If he brings home chinese food, he gets the hot & sour soup, then puts it thru a strainer before he will eat it. No veggies of any kind in anything, even if they are cut so small that you can barely see them. He will pick thru everything before he "might" eat it. I counted the number of items on his list of foods: 12. Only 12 things he will eat and they have to be a certain kind or made a certain way. He is impossible and it is driving me nuts. When we eat out and he is not paying the bill (which is most of the time), he will order (no matter the cost) & if he's not happy with it, he won't eat it. It think that's rude! Am I the weird one?

No, clearly you're not the weird one.
It's freakishly picky, to the point that one wonders if it's not just pickiness but some sort of OCD.
Is his mother still around? I'd be curious to talk to her and hear how he survived his childhood without her killing him. Or if she has any pointers on getting him to eat.

my family ad husband think I have weird habits because I am a health freak. well, I used to weigh a lot more! I think it is funny to learn about other people's weird things. For instance, I love to eat frozen sweet corn-yes-frozen! I like refried beans with tofu, and I sometimes use a spoon to drink my drinks! I also have a strict "list" of what I eat and don't eat-that is my fat fear coming out. I do not consider myself OCD though, and I am NOT rude when eating out! I do not like to trouble the servers with petty requests after I receive my meal, I am specific up front like requesting no butter or something, but I am not insanely picky! hopefully your bf isn't that way in other areas of life?!?

Some of my habits are similar, though if I made a list there'd be more then twelve things on it. For example, I'll eat in phases, only wanting one sort of cuisine or dish for a while. This week I've eaten scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast ever day. I don't think you're the wierd one.

Some people are picky. Do not eat out as entertainment, that is not healthy anyway. Do something else - something with actual movement. Thats that problem fixed.
