I suppose I just want to know peoples thoughts....
DH and I have been together 10 years. We have two small kids ( pre school and KS1).
Ever since I have known DH he has never really cooked anything. I mean I cannot think of one single meal he has actually cooked.
In the early days of our relationship I did not really notice or mind as I loved cooking both for him and others and it was obvious he had no idea so we just fell into me always cooking.
The only meal he has ever presented me with was a jacket potato with salad on the side, however I later found out his neighbour cooked it for him before I arrived!!
If I am ill or away he/ we just don't eat. For example I had to work over Xmas so DH has the kids, he fed them crap all day long, eg crackers for lunch, biscuits, crisps etc.
As time has gone on this has become a problem as to be honest I am just sick sorry and tired of cooking day in day out. We have one very fussy eater too and I'm vegetarian so sometimes I end up doing three variations on a meal which is far from enjoyable.
The thing is in other ways he is more than contributing his fair share, he works very long hours and earns a six figure salary so we have a very nice home and financial security. He single handedly renovated our last house in his spare time. But this issues is now bugging me.
Just want others perspective on how unusual this situation is!!!
