Due to a years long campaign of gradual exposure and tolerance building my husband now likes spicy food enough that he will fetch "his" hot sauce of his own volition and spice up the eggs or stew.

When I met him he struggled with too much pepper (granted I grind it fresh) and this filled me with trepidation about the future of our relationship.
It remains essential he does not use *my* hot sauce, but the future looks bright!
Love finds a way!

I made him mashed potatos with pepper when we first started dating and he asked "is this spicy?"
No.
"Oh no it *is* spicy!"
"How. The pepper? The pepper? That's not even ... that doesn't even COUNT."

My wife is czech. We've been married for 6 years and she still doesn't like pepper or anything even mildly spicy.
However she does like to put salt on everything

@futurebird That's an awfully difficult starting point. Glad to hear you're managing to build and maintain a healthy relationship despite such fundamental challenges.

I had a long talk with my mom about it.

I guess it's an eastern Europe thing? His mom is from Ukraine and at first I was not very impressed with her cooking. But, I've come to like the cabbage and potato thing she makes even though it's very mild. If you cook the cabbage right it can be very sweet.
I don't think there is hope for her and any spices though.

@futurebird in the early 2000s I worked with a guy from Argentina who pointed out they never would have had pepper shakers on tables. "Too spicy".
I think about that a lot.

I did something similar with my wife. She used to complain about a single jalapeño in a dish that we were both eating. Now she puts chilli sauces in / on things herself.
But she's half cantonese and grew up eating instant noodles that, as far as I can tell, are seasoned with actual lava. My mouth is on fire if I put any of the water from them in my face. They are far more spicy than anything I cook. But those are, apparently, a different kind of hot and so don't count.

"as far as I can tell, are seasoned with actual lava"
Sounds illegal... but I have seen things.
