I was a little hurt after all the effort I put in. I told him so. He said he was commenting on my cooking abilities but the recipe itself.


The 1950s called and asked for their post back.

So what? Just let it go. Not all recipes are winners. God you sound immature.

Positive: I think it's wonderful that you're trying to stretch our palettes by trying out a new cookbook.

Negative: It was good, but maybe we can add some more spices next time?

Positive: Thank you for taking so much time and effort to make delicious meals. I really know how much you love me through your cooking.

Just be honest, and teach him about the sandwich. He'll do better next time.

Excellent advice here! 👍🏼


For an unsolicited comment, I suppose, though it's distressing that so many people are so fragile that they need one mild criticism surrounded by all that fluff.

Here, though, OP asked her husband what he thought of the meatballs. He responded. There no need for all the extras when he's just responding. And she agreed with him! How is OP's reaction to this not, "Yeah, I thought so too?"


It's about good communication and treating your spouse with respect. We should all strive to comunicate with more kindness and show more appreciation.

You asked him what he thought

He said it was bland

You are hurt enough to post it on the internet

In the future, don't ask his opinion, I guess. I guess his best option was to lie to you? Maybe then you could post that he's never honest


Or if you DO ask his opinion, tell him what you want him to say.

And for God's sake, don't ever buy a dress or new pants and ask him if your ass is fat in it. Even if you have the skinniest ass this side of Tuscaloosa. You're a real throwback, OP.
