Re: complaining about food

homesick - I feel sorry for your wife after reading your views about marriage and women.

OP spends her day working hard too. So either the husband help her out with the cooking, or just suck it up and eat what he’s served. and no, not all men are immature and selfish to make food decide whether their marriage is good or not. Tons of husbands actually help in the kitchen because these days both husband and wife work. In fact, that is a loving relationship - where both partners realize and empathize with each other and their tiredness and help each other out. And yes, if the wife doesn’t work then she should cook. But that still doesn’t warrant constant nagging from her husband. In OP’s case, husband complains about food not being like his mom’s. Well, shouldn’t have married anyone then. The wife is not your mother.

Also, I’ve seen PLENTY of very happily married men who’s wives can’t cook. They are okay with what they get, or make the effort to cook themselves. Not act like children and make their wives feel like their subordinate. And if you think Islamically as well, Prophet Muhammad pbuh would NEVER complain about his wives’ cooking. He’d eat whatever he was given gracefully and gratefully.

Sounds like an excerpt from “Paklinks feminist manifesto”
