[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of a sudden… Ugh! I’d inquire as to what changed.
Also, maybe suggest he cook. Or simply cook for yourself.

We just got married. We lived together while engaged but he was gone most weeks for work. He‘s in a different job and now we eat dinner together every night.

He can’t and doesn’t care to cook. He has no interest in ever trying. [/quote]

This is a very bad sign in the relationship. [b]Cooking is an expression of love, and if he doesn’t have any interest in trying at least to help you cutting vegetables, start preparing the exit.[/b]

Terrible take. Profoundly stupid. Pp, try to take some perspective.

*Some* people love coming and use it to express love. Other people loathe cooking with a passion and do the bare minimum to survive.

The issue is that cooking is a necessary chore. DH is refusing to do the hateful, necessary chore, sticking Op will all of it, then complaining about how she does it. That’s the problem.

OP, look at chores as a whole. Is he doing half? If not, suggest that he learn to grill. Grilling is a culturally (though not inherently) masculine activity. If he doesn’t like what you cook, he can grill summer steaks and corn on the cob. Chop raw veggies and he’s made a meal. Once he knows how to grill, have him graduate to sheet pan meals. Start with chicken breasts, cut in half so they cook in 25 min, same as the veggies.

Is he’s not willing to learn simple cooking, and he’s not doing at least half the work, he can pick up other chores so you have more time to cook.

Another consideration: getting good takes awhile. My DH often seasons our food for me, because he’s so much better at it. I will spend 25 minutes cooking a soup. DH tastes a taste at the end and spends two minutes adjusting the flavors. If DH doesn’t like your flavors, he’s welcome to add the spices. It’s a very quick step, I’m just terrible at it. [/quote]

He does his fair share. I cook and he cleans the kitchen. We both do laundry and clean spaces as needed. We both grocery shop depending on who has a less busier week. I feel it’s pretty fair. [/quote]
