While my wife was pregnant, 1 month she only ate chicken. The next only pork. Then there was 3 months of shrimp heads lol. Of course she also ate alot of fruits and vegtables. Oddly she hasn't touched a mango for about 6 months now.

Her doctor told her to chill out on the rice. Hahaha ya right!

most of the meat is from the freezer. Things I need to use before the time is up on them. Also, when we got here she used to eat steaks, pork, etc. Since being pregnant she has refused many times. I don't understand why, but it is something she is choosing to do, probably based on superstitions. Might be the red meat and complexion thing. I just try to go along with it. Sometimes I find thing strange like eating french fries but not mashed potatoes. The doctor put her on a strict diet regarding fish. She is only allowed 16 ounces per week. (This is due to the mercury contamination in the fish which affects pregnant women with birth defects..) Cole slaw and potato salad she does not like. A lot of this is probably the pregnancy.

Darren, seems like you do not really understand pregnancy food aversions. Trust me, as someone who has a child and is currently pregnant, they are very real and NOT something that you are choosing just because you feel like annoying the hell out of your husband. Here is a link that you might find helpful.

I'm starting to think that a lot of these issues should have been realized/discussed before beginning the visa process and getting married.

You took the words right out of my mouth... I would think that that would be a first and easy thing to know about your wife is her eating preferences... I think his mind was somewhere else.
