A woman has shared how her husband grades her cooking and if he doesn’t like what she’d prepared, he would simply orders takeaway.
Taking to Reddit, the frustrated wife explained that her husband would frequently grade her food and even though they’ve been married for 15 years, “the list of things (chores) he doesn’t like just keeps getting longer.”
“I do 100% of the cooking in our home. We share other household responsibilities and I don’t really mind because I enjoy cooking. We both work full-time and share pretty equally in expenses,” she said.
The woman said that her husband insists on grading her cooking even though she asked him many times to stop.
“I know he doesn’t like curry, anything with an Indian or Chinese flavor, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, most healthy grains, squash, or any meal without “enough” carbs and meat…He also won’t eat leftovers,” she wrote.
While she always cooks meals that he likes, there were times when she wants to cook something for herself.
“The other night he ordered pizza instead of trying the chicken curry dish that I made and said that if I’m cooking something he doesn’t like I need to pay for the food he orders,” she went on.
“I told him he can eat whatever he wants to, but I’m not cooking him a special meal or paying for his takeout.”
But her husband told her she was being an as***** and even got his mother involved.
“My mother-in-law said she would never cook something for dinner that she knew her husband didn’t like – for the record since my father-in-law retired he does all of the cooking,” she added.
Reddit users were quick to share their thoughts on the matter, with one person writing: “Sounds like he wants a private chef, not a wife.”
Another said: “Tell him what I tell my kids: I’m making one healthy filling meal for all of us, and if you choose not to eat it, there’s PB&J or cereal in the pantry and fruit in the bowl.”
A third added: “Take it or make yourself something started very young in my house. As soon as they could make a peanut butter and jam sandwich that was an option but I wasn’t making something everyone liked for every meal.”
