to go hungry just to prove a point

[weediculous]

I cook 90% of the time if not more. DH works has long commute so only fair. However at weekends or if he's off he STILL takes it for granted that I'll cook. If challenged he would say he doesn't but it's 9pm and we still haven't eaten basically because I haven't made anything. He said half an hour ago can you be arsed to cook, I said no and he said do you want me to cook. I said yes but he's still watching tv. I am NOT going to cook but I'm hungry and angry (and petty probably).

Pasta pesto sounds nicer than a bowl of cornflakes

I had defrosted some chicken but clearly he couldn't be arsed to cook that

The one whose cooking picks the dish and doesn't do the dishes.

Just talk to him and decide in advance who is going to cook. And ask him nicely. You just seem to be winding each other up instead... My dh used to find it difficult to work out what to cook so I make a list of dinner options when I order the shop - all he needs to do is pick one of the options and get on with it.

you don't need to cook to eat. make youself a sandwich without showing h

Yes but cd had I cooked the chicken he would have eaten it. I'm veggie so defrosted it for him because he moans if there's no meat!

I don't blame you and talking to him about it tomorrow would be a good idea you need to tell him your fed up of always cooking for everyone,he could easily do his fair share on his days off.

If it was me though I'd have gone and treated myself to a take away.

My DH also does this. I actually think he'd starve if I didn't cave and cook a meal. I'm definitely going to try the 'popping out for milk/heading straight for kfc' trick next time.

Are you married to my exh?

You're veggie and you prepare meat for him and he still can't be arsed? Sort yourself out and leave him to it.

I do the majority of cooking except on a Friday when it's a take out.

If I can't be bothered to cook, I'll tell Dh I can't be asked arsed so he'll make something.

Though eating so late is a bummer.

If you hate cooking so much, why don't you just eat the same as the kids???

(I think he is a lazy arse too, BTW.)

Not saying YOU are a lazy arse though, just to be clear!

The kids have different tastes and diets (I'm the only vege in the house).

When I can I do try and cook a meal that will do for all 4 of us

Don't get me wrong I had this with my DP but after laying down the law he's now a lot better. He does still ask what to cook then inevitably says he doesn't know how to make that. He always Googles a recipe afterwards .
