Do I have to have dinner 365 days a year

I suppose he must enjoy it to do it every day, or why wouldn't he be willing to batch cook or have the odd takeaway etc. Doesn't mean you have to eat the same as him every day though, why not just get other stuff for yourself? Then he can either cook less or freeze the extra portion for another time.

It would drive me mad if I had to eat the same dinner day in, day out, too!!
Could you possibly find him a couple of easy cook books, to add variety? Watch cooking on tv or YouTube? Or send him to cookery classes?
Isn't there anyone, a relative, friend or neighbour, who could offer him advice or who you could go to for a different meal at least twice a week?

I am still boggling at spending an hour preparing a meal and an hour clearing up.

Two people and a cooking repertoire of 7 dishes?

You maybe thinking just bread and cheese is sufficient sometimes a d s full blown meal is sometimes too much a.

Maybe buy him a simple cookbook for new ideas. Get new spices or try a new sauce.

I know I'm a bit late replying and it matters also where you live, but have you looked into those meal boxes? Everything comes prepared you just have to cook it? A lot more variety there.

Have you managed to implement any changes yet Jb2022?
