    • Husband's cooking is BAD and it's straining our marriage

    Posts: 3,306 Member
    edited January 15 in Chit-Chat
    Seriously, he won't let me do any of the cooking even though his creations are usually TERRIBLE. I just sit there playing with my plate and act like I'm not hungry and try to be polite as I can. Some nights I'll call in for pizza during dinner because I'm so HUNGRY from avoiding his food. I tell the delivery guy to dress in UPS clothes to try to hide my intentions, but I know my husband can smell the pizza on my person when I get back.

    I track all my food on MFP along with him, and sometimes he checks my phone to see what I've eaten for the day. After the first day he saw I'd tracked some pizza hut pizza and inquired I had to start logging my meals as "quick added calories" to hide it. I just told him it was stuff I was too buzy to log, but wasn't anything bad like wheat or dairy.

    I love this man, but I'm afraid of harming his fragile ego (he has mental problems, but I love him anyway) if I just told him that his cooking choices suck. The rest of our lives together is wonderful.

    I know JUST BREAK UP!, but what would you do?

      sadly, my husband would kill me if he knew I was not 100% paleo and indulged in pizza...

      How does it feel to be a trollop Cheryl? Airing your junk in public like a STRUMPET?

      I saw your husbands post, and I read his profile and noticed he said he gets his nutrition from you. Just tell him he's sucking the life outta you and you have to compensate by whatever means necessary.

      I was going to suggest a couples cooking class, but this is way better.

      I don't need one, seeing as I don't have a pool but I sure would LIKE one! :bigsmile:

      A couple actually offered me a similar role to this. I had to be naked though.

      Well I wouldn't have to beef stroganoff if you would fulfill your marital roles.

      WITH THE ATTITUDE...sheesh.

      We wouldn't be airing all this dirty laundry if you'd let me cook in the first place...but no, you blamed the two slices of homeade bread that I made for you each day for your gaining 60 pounds in the first month of our marriage.

      Or airing your junk anywhere really. I'm pretty sure that's a misdemeanor.

      ETA: Well, maybe not in the blue states.

      I'm just mad that I wasted the arm wrestling comment without a response. I thought that was funny anyway when it happened here.

      My brother is vegan; his longtime boyfriend is a hard core meat eater. They respect each other's diet choices and they each make their own food but then sit down and eat together. Can you try making your own food?
