I can’t remember the thread but I was equal parts fascinated (and a little jealous) at this disclosure. Gendered expectations aside, do your husbands cook? When you say you don’t cook, do you mean you essentially assemble, e.g. Trader Joe’s meals or is it all take-out or healthful meal delivery? Is it that you don’t enjoy cooking, don’t feel you aren’t a good cook, or would rather spend your time elsewhere?

I have a girlfriend who doesn’t really cook because she loathes the mess and doesn’t care for lingering food smells or leftovers.  I mostly love to cook (not EVERY night) because I love to eat and even good restaurants seem so overpriced and mediocre. I hate cleaning up and the fact that it just seems impossible to be a good cook and and have a truly clean kitchen. I have cookie sheets that are embarrassing. [b]Do you feel judged as a woman who doesn’t cook?[/b] I feel like i am judgy- side-eyeing the sinewy grey-blondes on their runs, thinking they probably aren’t worried about where to get decent imported Parmesan, all the while wishing I were that thin. I loved the closed kitchen thread and am interested in your relationship with your kitchen. [/quote]No way. In fact, I avoid telling people my husband does all the cooking because they get jealous and wish their husbands did the same.[/quote]
