My husband can be highly critical and sometimes really rude of the food I make. Last week before I went out I cooked meatballs in a tomato sauce and left the rice out so he could cook that when he got in. Anyway when I got home at 8.30 i asked him why he hadn’t eaten he replied in a normal tone of voice I don’t want to eat that shit !!!!!!! I told him he was out of order.
Fast forward to this week and i have stopped cooking for him. I’m sick and tired of his behaviour. I let him know by text that as my cooking was so shit he could cook for himself
I work full time and yet he’s always sarcastically asking me how many hours I work as he works more than me. I do everything in the house and im sick of being treated badly.

I’ve been married over 30 years and never has my DH made such an awful comment as that. If he hasn’t liked what I’ve cooked, he says sorry but I’ve tried but this isn’t for me. I can never cook him meatballs as when he was a teenager at school a friend of his got run over and killed after school and they had meatballs that day, so he’s never been able to have them. I hope your DH is enjoying cooking, hopefully for you as well as himself this week, I certainly don’t blame you for saying this.

Put him in the oven

Sorry but you have a dh problem. Normal humans aren't like that

Extend the no cooking to no laundry and any other things you do for him. Don’t make a think of it just stop doing it.

Sounds like a c*

Same here.

Shame he didn't choke on a meatball.. Don't let another year pass of this life op. How can you see your old age panning out with such a twat?

pinkyredrose · 05/07/2023 17:12

Sounds like he doesn't like or respect you. Do you want to stay with him?

What a shit!
My wife and I took it in turns cooking till she was not able due to her MS, she was often critical of her food but I felt honoured she had cooked for me and only once I think we both agreed that neither of us would cook it again.
When she was told she would need a PEG feeding tube she was devastated she wouldn't taste my food again 😢

I'd be getting legal advice and putting my ducks in a row OP, if I were you.
