Do u believe that a woman (should) cook for her man ? 🍲 🍲 🍲

Let's keep it real here.
Why the hell would any man [b]marry[/b] a woman who refuses to cook a nice hot meal for him. I don't usually think this is an issue for a casual long term [b] relationship.[/b] But in the state of [b] marriage [/b] its mandatory for me.
What about you ? I'm not saying you have to cook every single day. But forget that I'm a frozen dinner, eat out/take out daily gal. No we not gonna do that. Comments. 😛

No one person should [b]have[/b] to do anything alone provided they aren't the sole adult. I mean who [b]should[/b] cook, wash the dishes, tidy the house, clean the swimming pool, manicure the lawn, ready the kids, sort the plumbing, fix the car, change the tyres? As a family you share responsibility for all those things. How and why you delegate responsibility for each of those responsibilities is another story.

I don’t think it should be mandatory, but I am a stay at home mother and feel that it’s part of my “job”… I try to make sure the home is taken care of and food is on the table for my family.

I enjoy cooking though… so that helps. I think it makes my house feel like home; the smell of a yummy meal cooking.

@Zonuss 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Zonuss if he’s working all day and the wife is home then there’s nothing wrong with cooking to help
subhubby · 56-60, M
@WaryWitchWandering I agree, it should not be mandatory and is not in our household. I am fortunate as my wife likes to cook but I always set the table, clear the table and do the clean up after.
he puts in long days and earns so I don't have to. if I can't provide him a supportive environment , clean house, and good meals, why does he need me
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@saragoodtimes Exactly. ☺️
Primnproper · 56-60, F
I think cooking is generally considered nowadays to be a joint responsibility. I on the other hand love cooking and see the kitchen as my domain so I’ve always been of the mind that especially if you are at home all day and hubby is working then why shouldn’t he have a dinner on the table when he gets in. Now the extreme feminists about will jump on my back for that but hey it’s just how I feel.
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@Primnproper I’m all about equality

For me… I am home (like you mentioned). I think people are under the assumption a stay at home mom doesn’t do much, but I do all the cleaning/cooking/and most the child care. I wear many hats in this house, I also do yard work and shovel when necessary. I even have taught myself how to repair a few things that were within my ability/timeframe.

I don’t see myself as submissive for cooking for my family. I enjoy to cook, and I’m home so it is something I can do to make up for the fact I don’t bring in $.

I also enjoy using specific ingredients and feel I am giving more than just a meal when I cook. It’s enjoyable in many ways for me
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@WaryWitchWandering Totally understand and agree with you. We just have our own things we like to do. My husband loves vacuuming and he’s got his own way of doing it so he prefers me to leave that to him and I’m fine with that.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
It’s certainly not mandatory, but I think the one who [i]enjoys[/i] cooking (and hopefully is the better cook) should do the majority of the cooking.
Myself, I love cooking and providing delicious, home cooked meals for my loved ones so it’s no hardship for me to take on that task. I have always been the main cook in my home.
I also thoroughly enjoy TEACHING my skills to someone who is truly interested in spending the day in the kitchen with me, learning the tricks of the trade, so to speak.

It’s a wonderful way to spend time together.
@ImpeccablyImperfect I like your attitude! For me (a man) cooking is a pleasure and I enjoy sharing it with my partner (we both cook for each other, with pleasure)
Fullmetal · 46-50, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect what time is dinner again?? Lol! I love to cook! No issues doing it!
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Fullmetal 6 bells, man. Don’t forget the wine!! 😉
cecile · F
my ex was working full time, i was only working 20 hrs a week i saw it as my side of the partnership to do laundry,meals,housework etc, i disagree with these women that lounge around all day and do nothing to contribute to the home and there are quite a few about Playstation queens lol
Jonjdw · 46-50, M
My wife can cook good. But it’s her I love more than her cooking.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Jonjdw Great.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Jonjdw I love that
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
Yes, I do. If I were married and she is home all day with the kids, the least she can do is make a nice home cooked meal for me to look forward to when I come home and to make sure there's no messes anywhere. Can't just sit on her ass all day doing nothing. If I married someone and she wasn't contributing and doing anything while I'm doing everything myself, then we might as well just be roommates and I'd just divorce her. Because then that means she brings absolutely nothing to the table and just wants me as her ATM. All relationships are transactional, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. The man has his role of what his job is to do in the home and the woman has hers.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@IWasCallingYaLarry Well said. ☺️
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@Zonuss thank you. I personally know a man who is getting divorced from his wife because she is selfish and wanted to end the marriage and now she blames him for literally everything even though he did everything for her. See where the issue is? He took out the garbage, did all the cooking and cleaning, and still worked every day, while she sat on her lazy ass doing nothing. Did she have any respect for him? Hell no. She treated him like shit. Although his biggest mistake with marrying her is he married a single mom who was 8 years older than him and already had 2 kids from 2 different baby daddies, and she had a lot of baggage and was damaged as all hell. And he thought it'd be great to date her and then married her after only dating for 2 years. I tried to warn him, our friends we have in common tried to warn him, our family tried to warn him, everyone did. And she takes zero accountability for why the marriage ended and instead just blames it all on him and on my mom. Blame everybody else around you except for yourself, typical modern woman strategy in taking no accountability for any bad decisions you've made.
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
My bf and I cook for eachother. But tbh, he is really passionate about cooking, so he does most of it. He starts planning what dinner to make before he even leaves the house every morning! Lol
G0ddess · F
I like cooking for my man because he never expects me to, I never cooked for my parents out of love as they felt it was my “duty” and forced me in the kitchen which made me hate cooking till I met my man
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@G0ddess Doing a good deed out of love is a blessing. Bless you. 🙏
exexec · 61-69, C
No. My son enjoys cooking and is a better cook than his wife. My wife is a great cook, so I expect her to cook, although we share cooking duties.
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@exexec it doesn't even matter who is 'better' at it. It's the idea that if she is being provided for, her role is the nurturer, which involves feeding her husband/spouse.
exexec · 61-69, C
@easterniowegin I thought I answered that. My answer was "no."
Bleak · 36-40, F
To be honest, I don’t mind cooking meals for my husband. Even though he is not demanding, but he leaves no stone unturned in looking after me so why shouldn’t I care for him.
victoriabridgelal · 22-25, F
Cooking for your husband occasionally is more than doable. Where I live, a woman cooking for her man is a norm especially among the Hindu community. I'm agnostic but my family on my father's side were all originally from India. I find that many people who can afford to buy food daily without hesitation, often forget that there are people who can't.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@victoriabridgelal Interesting perspective. I noticed that a lot of [b]wealthy[/b] families do this. The wife may cook every once in a while. But they definitely do eat good. ☺️
victoriabridgelal · 22-25, F
@Zonuss Depending on where you live and the culture, women are expected to cook, clean etc. regardless of the family's household income, whether it's low or high.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@victoriabridgelal [b] Western [/b] culture is slowly eroding away . 😂
Teirdalin · 31-35
I enjoy cooking a lot personally as I can get the flavors and textures to be just as I want them to be, but I would like to be with a woman who also cooks just so that I do not need to be the only one doing so.

But I'm also not really against just like making sandwiches and frozen meals too. Easy and fast to make and like no effort. Speaking of which I think imma make myself a steak sandwich right now as we got a lot of leftovers to go through.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
A marriage is a partnership. Partnerships mean sharing according to abilities.

Do you ask your woman for you to have her kid? Do you ask a woman to push your car?

Yet both can cook!

In today's society BOTH are working.

This is not the 1950s where only one person is working. Those days have gone with the horse and buggy days.

And both even then threw out the trash.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@DeWayfarer [b] Partnership.[/b].
That's the correct word for this topic here. ☺️
Neman1622 · 41-45, M
She better be a damn good cook, because I can cook better than most
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Neman1622 😂
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
I say it's there choice. It like there old days where its was a one income household

Even then women still work. Like making lace,

My wife cooks for me, because she wants to and not because she has to.

If the shoe was on the other foot and I needed to cook for her. I will and have done it for her

Care for each other is what it's all about
Yes of course.

Just as a man should cook for his woman.

@JohnnyNoir Most of what the Bible says is insane or evil or both
Sevendays · M
@Zonuss many wives work as much as their husband. They aren't being taken care of, supported, by their husband. That being said, it should be a 50/50 proposition. If one of those people doesn't work because they don't have to, then they should take on the majority of the meal prep, etc.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
I could care less. Just because she has boobs doesn’t mean it’s her job to feed me.

If she’d like to cook, that’s great. She’s certainly capable. If not, I’ll make something. I often get home from work late, so she’s almost always eaten already.

Who cooks just isn’t important to me.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
The best chefs in the world are all men, but nobody cooks like grandma .
That being said , traditional house roles work for many people . I wouldn’t expect my woman to shovel snow , so it works both ways in a symbolic way.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I cook because I needed to feed my kids when they were growing up. How else would they have gotten nutritious meals?

I still cook dinner 6 days a week
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Jenny1234 Nice.
meggie · F
I cook for my man when I'm home and enjoy doing so. He cooks for himself a couple of nights a week and occasionally cooks for me.
Blondily · F
I cook for the hub everyday.
Make his lunches everyday for work.
Clean too
He appreciates it.🙂
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Blondily Cool.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
No, not always. Sometimes he is by [i]far[/i] the better chef and its just in everyone's best interest for him to cook and her to help clean up.

if she wants to , yes , otherwise there is a bodega downstairs that sells chicken parmesan microwave meals
Sevendays · M
Wait! Are you saying this shouldn't be a shared responsibility? Are you married?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Sevendays Reread paragraph above. Dont start with me. ☺️
You will be eating out of those takeaway containers forever I reckon
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Ozymandiaz No I won't. I know how to [b]cook[/b]. So you can throw that in the trash. ☺️
WhateverWorks · 36-40
🤔 I wouldn’t marry someone who refused to share tasks like that where you’re taking care of each other as a team.
darknessprevails · 26-30, M
Not should cook... but should want to cook.

I see it as an expression of love.

We've been unable to reach a happy medium for years.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@JohnnySpot Explain.
JohnnySpot · 56-60, M
@Zonuss I cannot depend on the food being cooked properly. I buy her all her breakfast food protein drinks and fruit bars. I buy meals for both of us from restaurants a couple times a week.
She will not cook food the way I asked her to. She tells me the food is good when it is not. I was willing to buy all the food for both of us but she will not cook it or store it right.
She puts a bunch of salt in the hamburger I say don't put salt in the hamburger but then I have to ask her every time we have hamburger and it tastes salty. She pours cooking oil on the pre-cooked potato patties that only need to be heated, I say don't douse the potatoes in oil.
She serves me hard boiled eggs warm when I have told her over and over that I like them cold.
I cook excellent meals for both of us weekly but have lost motivation to do so.
