Re: complaining about food

@Peony

Why would you even say that? Maybe he needs to be thankful that he has such a sweet, thoughtful wife who not only cooks for him but learned to cook the cuisine of his choice from the chef of his liking. Even our religion says that a woman is not compelled to cook for her husband. And no one should give names to food. He is lucky to have food on his table and a woman who cares to do that for him.

But don’t you think that saying that a,b,c things need to be improved is being picky and giving names to the food. My parents have taught us to never say “this is salty or bland or something”, just say “I would like more salt or pepper” because giving names to food comes back to you.

That’s all cool and everything but I can tell you that after a hard day’s work, if I am coming home and consistently eating food I don’t particularly want in my mouth or stomach, it’s going to have an effect on my marriage. That’s just true. One should not criticize rizq, but that does not mean we don’t have particular taste buds which we can’t control. Eating dinner with family is one of the short occasions that can be enjoyed, and regularly eating food that I don’t have the taste buds for will take away from that family time enjoyment. Not the say that that is the case with the OPs food ( it might or might not be), but let me tell all the ladies here that if you think your food is not going to have a long term impact on your relationship, you are mistaken. No one wants to be the guy whose wife can’t cook. If you stop cooking for your husband, then be ready for everything that follows. This applies not only to desis, but most couples all across the world.
