To be annoyed that DH eats his food as if he’s in a TV advert.

An El Paso advert.

All exaggerated movements. Eyebrows raised and eyes rolled. Fork pulled from mouth with a smack and with gusto.

I know he’s trying to show his appreciation.

But we’re not on TV.

@Adventurine - I do hope you turn this back on him if he ever makes you a brew / sandwich / anything consumable. What an insufferable twit.

Send your fork to your husband's forehead....what a twonk.

You are very serene, I’d have stabbed him in the neck with a fork a long time ago.

Fuck him being offended, just tell him it’s weird and repulsive till he stops.

Else you’ll be watching him do it all day when you’re trapped in facing chairs in the nursing home..

Haha yes mine does this too. I cook - he eats it and says that was nice thanks. He cooks - it takes 3 hours and all the crockery in the house. Wine has to be produced for such a special occasion. Photos are taken. Appreciation must be shown. And then after the meal, we must have a discussion about how that was the most wonderful meal ever created.

Funny thing is I don't even really like his cooking.

I think I'd rather this than my husband who shovels his food down like he's participating in a timed Man V Food!

I do hate performative man cooking. And it always seems to be the men who rarely prepare meals that need a parade when they’ve made an oven lasagna and some chips. My bil does it but I can’t be doing with it so I just don’t join in. He’s just making average (quite nice) food like everyone else, but the whole topic of the table is supposed to centre around the food he’s prepared. But if he goes to someone else’s home to eat somehow he doesn’t feel
the need to verbally adore every bite he puts into his mouth. Only when he cooks.

To be honest, I tend to cook my food with a spoken out loud stream of consciousness in the style of Bridget Jones making blue soup. I’ve found myself talking aloud like this in the supermarket 😳

This was roughly my response - I was thinking more stabbing him through the eye with it.
