DH suddenly an incompetent cook

I don't know what has gotten into the man but all of a sudden he is in need of explicit instructions when it comes to food Confused

What are we eating? Where are the tins? What do you put into this dish? Where is the spaluta?

He seems to have lost any ability he had to think independently or use Google. He was fine last year. What on earth is this sudden helplessness?

I, of course, am doing the mature thing and hiding upstairs in the bedroom while he stomps around and slams kitchen cupboards.

Is he like this all the time when he cooks now? Or was tonight a one off?

Anyway,

OP I'm glad you had a nice green curry, but I really wouldn't put up with this sort of passive aggression from your DH. I think he's trying to make it obvious he's not happy with the set-up.

This "strategic incompetence" is behaviour used (normally by petulant teenagers and resentful husbands) deliberately to get out of doing tasks.

Don't fall for it.

@Veterinari you’re the only one that seems to be investing an awful lot if anyone. Confused Not sure if this site is for you. Hmm

@Veterinari I find the rudest thing written today is actually by you. Confused

Or perhaps find something good to watch on telly?
Life must be very dull for you if you're investing time in this as a rewarding social interaction
