If you’re a person who believes in equality, be it in your relationship, at home, or at work then I’m sure you get stressed a lot. That’s because most people around us still live in the stone age and don’t understand the concept of equality.
This woman’s husband is also among those ignorant and thankless peoples who never appreciates the time and effort she invests in him.
Recently, via a Reddit post, the woman shared how her husband rates her cooking, never appreciate her, refuses to eat the meals he doesn’t like, and then makes her pay for his takeout.
Sharing her ordeal in the ‘r/AmItheAsshole’ subreddit of the app, the user shared that even though both of them work full-time and share household responsibilities, she does all the cooking.
“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. We’ve been married for 15 years and it seems like the list of things he doesn’t like just keeps getting longer.”
She adds that he also gives all the meals she cooks “grades” that never include an ‘A’.
“He also insists on giving all the meals I cook “grades” despite me repeatedly asking him to stop (A=he really likes it, F=he won’t eat it). 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.”
And since he doesn’t appreciate the time she put into preparing dinner each night, she decided to sometimes cook meals that she likes which also include food that he dislikes.
“Recently, I’ve decided that since he gives many of my “approved” meals grades of B- or C and doesn’t seem to appreciate the time I put into preparing dinner each night I will just cook what I like some nights. I’ve also been trying to cook healthier (low carb, low fat) meals some nights because we both need to eat better. Some nights it’s something he likes, and some nights it’s something I know he doesn’t like. I’ll tell him what we are having and if he wants to order out or make himself something else that’s fine.”
And on nights when he doesn’t like the food she cooked, he would simply order in and ask her to pay the bill because she didn’t cook the meal he likes.
“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.”
Annoyed by his narcissistic attitude, she finally fought back. Her husband told her that she was being mean and got his mother involved who schooled the woman that she would never cook a meal that her husband won’t approve of.
“I told him he can eat whatever he wants to, but I’m not cooking him a special meal or paying for his takeout. He says I’m being an asshole and even got his mother involved. My MIL said she would never cook something for dinner that she knew her husband didn’t like – for the record since my FIL retired he does all of the cooking.”
Clearly, this manchild wants everything to revolve around him and doesn’t care how much the other person cares about him. The fact that he asked her to pay for his meal since she didn’t cook for him is mindboggling.
Since the woman asked people online if she was being mean by sometimes cooking things her husband doesn’t like, this is what they responded with:
How about giving your wife a break for once and cooking for yourself or ordering in for everyone with your own damn money if you don’t like something?
