To want my partner to cook meals on a schedule?

[hangryhour]

My partner’s job is to cook the meals. We each have jobs. I do the washing up for example, amongst other things. My partner is a very good cook and also more fussy than I am about food, doesn’t like my cooking so does all of the cooking.

Every day I have to ask for meals to be cooked, and my partner will look at me and say, ‘Oh are you hungry? Ok’, and get up and make food. The only meal I don’t have to ask for is breakfast.

I could cook my own food but despite trying I don’t have the flair for it that my partner does. Plus my partner would not like that, as my partner is better at it and it would be waste of energy cooking for one.

I think you need to discuss this and at the same time, I think it should be obvious and if your DH is the main cook, he should just step up and cook so that it's ready at a mutually convenient time.
In my marriage, over the years, sometimes I was the main cook and sometimes DH was but it was always obvious where dinner fit into the evening's schedule and the person cooking made it happen without being asked. When I was the main cook, I made sure that dinner was ready in good time relative to swimming lessons and bedtime and DH's arrival home. I did ask that he made clear when he'd be home so that I could plan accordingly. When DH was the main cook, again, there was a time which fit most evenings well so that was his target time.

This.
Very weird, I can't imagine asking another person to feed me. Why are you hiding what sex your boy/girlfriend is?

@Bluestone12 the OP is worded to keep the sex hidden, when people do this is often to try to influence the replies. Not sure why that's 'wtf' but ok.

Anyone getting a Little Shop of Horrors vibe?

"FEED ME NOW!!"

@SquaredShoulders

but likewise, I don't suppose you don't bother to cook every night until you're asked to.

most couples/families fall into some kind of routine so don't need to agree a time. When there was 2 of us & just two of us, dinner just fit naturally into the evening.

now. I live alone I eat (if I do) too late and I don't start assembling it until I'm hungry it's a bit of a recipe for disaster tbh 😂
