[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you do for a living? Has she expressed a desire to work?[/quote] OP again. My wife decided it was time to retire after a lengthy deployment. She has no desire to work. I am okay with that but she needs to cook real food. [/quote] “She needs to cook real food.” Honestly I think a lot of people in your partners situation wouldn’t want to cook either. With your attitude it sounds like maybe nothing is good enough. Do you find fault with her in a lot of areas of her life? If a partner is hypercritical, sometimes it’s easier to give up than try and risk not being good enough. [/quote] There’s a vast gray area between eating fast food every night and cordon bleu cookery. His wife needs to explore this area.[/quote] Crockpot meals, premade simmer sauces, frozen pasta meals, sheet pan meals, four-ingredient cookbook recipes, pre-made sides (bagged salad, mashed potatoes from the deli aisle, etc.), all fit in this category.[/quote]
