    My fiancé is disabled. On bad days (emotionally or physically) ordering is the best way to get food. It’s expensive as fuck but it’s a lot better than barely eating or not eating at all.

      I’m disabled as well and understand this a lot. Thank you for helping them have a safe food they can eat. Please always remember that when you’re providing care to someone, you need to care for your own emotional and physical needs as well. Ordering in can be a reprieve for you too and that’s valid. Ignore the other commenter, they’re giving me red flags about being controlling anyway.

          She does not care for Taco Bell.

          I often choose what she eats since I do all the cooking. It’s not like I don’t know what she likes after twenty years.

            It’s okay to be proud of your actions but that’s different to robbing the value of other people effort.

            You might be Messi and the other guy is Di Maria. The greatest football team of all time needed both :)

            P.s. yeah, the example is not crystal clear but it sounded funny to me, so…

      If you can handle the upfront cost Factor has been a lifesaver for me. I’m in the exact same boat. I love to cook but on bad days I can’t even look at the stove or oven. Factor heats up in a couple minutes and while it’s not health food, it’s healthier than most delivery.
