To ever cook for dp again ?

[Rottweilers1]

I always cook the fucking dinner. Every night.
Dp kicks off over combination, makes me feel like shit.

AIBU to just not cook tomorrow or ever againand when he asks when dinners ready give him a blank stare or is that too petty?

DH complained once about a meal. He had beans on toast for about 12 days after. He's never complained since.

I must be the only person on here who doesn’t agree or understand what people have an issue with - he can’t like everything you cook all the time, and surely he is entitled to say so? Then you may not cook it again? Conversely, when he cooks, if you don’t like it you could say so? You live together and will be together for life. Life isn’t long. Either don’t give him the broccoli next time or cook it when he’s not there. I understand it’s annoying when you’ve made the effort to cook, but would you rather he shovel down something he dislikes forever?

If this was me, I would calmly and cooly say "I'm getting a bit tired of you complaining about the food I cook. So I'm going to leave it up to you for the next week. You cook. You do better."

No malice. No hysterics. Just clear cut and simple. Then walk away. He'll probably come over to you and start backpedaling!

@PerverseConverse you’re so lovely 😭
It’s the strong roots range !

One minute he likes broccoli the next he doesn’t. My children do, I do.

I’m cooking, suck it up

He’s just come in huffing and saying ‘I didn’t eat the broccoli but I ate the rest.’

^ loool! It made me laugh..

Well done son, um I mean husband...
my OH is the same, he would eat pizza/burger every night so when I give him anything even moderately different spaghetti Bol, curry etc he grimaces like a child! I literally just ignore him now, but if I'm in a peticularly pissy mood I might remind him that he hasn't cooked once in 4 years... so ya know, in your words... Hun, starve 🙃😌

@beautifulblue 😂

My late DH did all the cooking, he liked it, I find it boring. He was a good cook, but I would never have dreamed ever of complaining. Other than not serving up something you know the other doesn't like, indeed why buy it in the first place, the cook rules.

Seriously, OP your DH needs to STFU.

Stop cooking for him.

Should have made it clear that I wouldn't have complained had DH's cooking not been good.

I live with one of that variety OP it's infuriating. Whats worse is when he says "I eat anything it's you thats the fussy one! "!!
I love a veg crispbake me. With a dollop of mayo.

Ditch him and get a cleaner.

Most of these comments have made me feel so much better ! Thank you for taking the time to anwer and keep me sane

Well, it sounds like the meal lacks protein. So that is a bit unreasonable -- a plate of just veg in various forms is not a meal.

Where is the 'crying with laughter' smiley please?

@Stupomax or 😂

My husband learnt very early on in our marriage that there are three rules at mealtimes;
1- not every meal can be your favourite (a subsection of this rule says that I will not care either way!).
2- not every meal has to be nutritionally perfect (see above for subsection).
3- You don't have to eat what I cook, but don't expect me to care if you don't, and certainly don't expect me to provide anything else.

He only moaned once.

Dontdribble there is an extremely important rule you’ve forgotten! Eating is both a basic human need and a fundamental human pleasure - if you aren’t equally committed to the work of ensuring this happens then you aren’t committed to our marriage personally. This means you can’t just do quick meals and takeaways leaving the onus of healthy meals on me, you need to plan as well as take a list to the shop and get it, and get unless you have made a serious effort with following recipes I can’t cook is not an excuse. My mum let me down by not teaching me is a true statement but not an excuse.

I'm still wanting veggie crispbake. I can't have anything so lovely though as have horrendous reflux and gastritis atm so at the most it will be toast or a cup a soup for dinner. I'll be going to M&S next week and getting some if my stomach settles.
Hope he's cooking you dinner tonight OP!

Does anyone have a good recipe for veggie crisp bake? I’m a new veggie!

@YeTalkShiteHen I like the M&S ones from the chilled section. They are usually with the fish, and meat ones not in a dedicated veggie section. Asda used to do nice ones but I'm going back to 1990 when I first went veggie and do t k ow if they still do them. I'm going to try the StrongRoots Quinoa ones.

PerverseConverse thanks I’ll have a look in M&S next time I’m passing, I do love their food it’s my treat to myself

Not been very impressed with ASDA veggie stuff but I’m persevering.

Is Strong Roots an online thing? Sorry for the stupid questions, I’ve literally been veggie for a week!

Tesco and Waitrose well the range. It's frozen. Everyone has cut down added salt and sugar so things aren't as nice as they used to be. Vivera burgers are the best. Really juicy and full of flavour. £3 for 2 though so expensive. Worth it.

PerverseConverse thank you. We don’t have a Waitrose (I think there’s only 2 in Scotland and neither are near me) but I’ll check the rest out. The burgers sound gorgeous, I’ll definitely have a look for them.

Thank you for answering my rookie daft questions.

serve the meat you made the gravy from

HOW passive aggressive is that comment!!

My DP occasionally "goes off" something that I cook (he doesn't eat my bologenese or mini meatballs). I still make them and when I do he gets nothing.

I am not a total cow, I do forewarn him I am making something he isn't keen on and he sorts himself out.

He actually does comment now and again how nice the meatballs smell or how he fancies some Bolognese. He still doesn't get any!!!!

Looking at a plate of broccoli, potatoes, carrots and gravy I would be wondering where the rest was but that's ok because I cook for myself so would never face that problem.

Obviously you are a veggie OP - is your DP? In any event, no reason why he can't do his share of the cooking.

Actually LagerthaTheShieldMaiden that was my first thought before I read the OP used Bisto so don't think it's PA at all.
