We generally have whatever I want. I figure if I have to do the cooking then I get to choose.

With my schedual.... He's lucky he gets a meal every night!

When I asked "what would you like for supper" and he answered "I don't care - whatever" my answer was "Well, you're on your own" and back to my sewing room I went. Hmmmm? maybe that's why I'm divorced. :)

these conversations are why I signed up to a meal plan. I get 5 meal ideas if I'm stumped as what to eat or fix.

Of course, now I'm single again so I don't have these kinds of conversations anymore. :)

My husband will be glad to find himself in wonderful company. He's the cook and I, to be fair, am the "pot washer". It works for us.

Me too. One of the choices is usually "take out". Sometimes "take out" is the only choice.

My hubby does the cooking AND cleaning up. He retired and I'm still working (fulltime and parttime) and he says this is one way he can help me survive one more year (actually 181 days, but who's counting?) We talk about what to eat, then he takes care of it.

Oh, yes, he also supports my "habit", sometimes even encouraging me to go shopping!

Sometimes my DH will make suggestions for supper, sometimes he cooks. I frequently make enough for two or three meals at a time to lessen the worry about supper. Since we both love soup, we eat it a lot! Lots of salads and beans too!

:D :thumbup:

It took many years before I finally figured out that my husband equates cooking/being fed with being loved.

I don't have to "fix fancy" - just "fix pleasantly" - and he's usually content.


:roll: :| :-)

He's generally quite flexible about how I do most things - the least I can do is put some prepared food in front of him now and then.

I tried that once or twice. I don't think "pleasant" would describe the efforts. My husband gently told me he'd take care of it. The dog wouldn't eat the stuff I'd cooked. :lol: We tell people he cooks out of self-defense. I do laundry and clean a bathroom now and again to make him feel loved.
