oh so that changes with a ring...interesting.
Chances are with attitudes like that no ring will be forth coming...
coming from someone's Mom and a wife...
Honey, for your information, not that it matters to me, but I'm married and have been for more than 10 years. We BOTH work 40+ hours per week, and we BOTH do our OWN cooking. Why? Because we're adults, and I'm on a diet and he's diabetic. So things that I CAN eat he can't, and things he wants, I don't.
As far as your asinine comment about a ring being forthcoming, one thing I've learned is that you can't buy someone's love by doing things for them. If a guy has someone who's doing his chores, doing his cooking, doing his laundry, what's his motivation for marrying her?
She can do what she wants and that's fine if it works for them. In her situation, she's not working so it's sort of fair for her to do the cooking (for the entire household, no less) if she's okay with that. And as others have said, she can eat what she cooks, she just needs to measure it out on a scale. It's no different than anything else.
So if domestic servitude is your thing, good for you. Wear that badge proudly. It sure as hell isn't for everyone.

I adjust my calorie intake for breakfast (150-200) and lunch (300-400). This leaves 600-750 for dinner. Small portions of steak, potatoes, and veggies will fit 600-750 calories! I prefer to eat the same as my family. I feel it's almost as important as sharing dinner as a family at our table.0

Why would that be any easier than just eating what they are eating, but in smaller portions?0 -
...because he loves her, hopefully.
