I work from 8-4pm Monday to Friday and I'm always too tired to cook for my husband when I get home. Is it acceptable for me not to cook?

I want to cook for him after work but I'm always tired when I get off. Men how would you feel if your wife only cooked on weekends?

[Paulalove98]

I dont think some would mind. My mom doesn't cook for my dad everyday and their still married. I don't know everyone is different but if he loves and cares about you enough it won't be a big deal or you guys could make simple meals the days you guys feel tired. Maybe a sandwhich, or cheese quesadilla, some soup? Just talk about it.

Well, you're working too; that's pretty reasonable. On the other hand, men do like it when you make them food, and it's usually a good idea to find the easy ways to make your partner feel loved and appreciated. Have you tried making large quantities of food on the weekends, and then reheating it to serve during the week? Some foods do pretty well that way, and are tasty without feeling like "leftovers".

Relationships require flexibility for all people and scheduling out the week is helpful…. paramount in my case. Basically, I prep and then get the hell out of her kitchen and way. So during the week eat fresh but always a Crockpot something turning on 5-6am Friday morning. I’m not cooking anything over weekend 🤷🏻‍♂️

He works too? You're working, so I don't know why he would give a shit... unless he actually can't cook. I do all the cooking in my household because let's be real... women suck at cooking. More BBQ and fewer salads.

Your husband can cook dinner too, you can take turns. Cooking is not very strenuous, saying you're too tired to cook is just an excuse. What would you do if you lived by yourself? Maybe you need to learn some quicker recipes or learn how to cook more efficiently. Getting food from restaurants all the time is either unhealthy or expensive. If you can afford it then I guess it doesn't matter.

I have a house wife and i cook every damn day when i come home from work. Is it acceptable? I dont know, depends on your relationship. For me after 10 years trying to teach my wife, I've accepted cooking isn't for everyone

[JBlade]

I actually wouldn’t care if she didn’t cook at all.

[FilmGuy93]

That sounds pretty understandable to me. You finish work and you’re tired, so you don’t feel like cooking. That’s the reason I don’t cook when I get home lol

Will you get off at 4 o’clock in the afternoon why don’t you take a little nap and get some of your energy back? Then cook or maybe cut back on some of your hours maybe he really need for you to cook for him and he really appreciates it?

[Jenny-Marie]

Gutted! Does he work? If so, take it in turns. If he's home, then he should take over the responsibilities. Why not prepare the food each weekend, then you can share the task.

there has to be some kind of compromise solution to this.

Is he yelling at you?
