Re: complaining about food

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.

Food has an effect on your marriage? That’s weird. Why? Its readily available everywhere you go…if you can afford a six month supply of chat masala, you can afford takeout once in a while.

Also, from all of these childish posts - is there anything on this planet that does NOT affect a marriage?

To the OP:

You’ve spoiled him. You don’t need to cook separately for him or indulge in these whims all the time. Cooking his favorite dish as a surprise or doing something nice for him is fine. Cooking exactly the way his mom cooks is not a requirement you have to fulfill. Pleeeeeeeeease do not get upset over this - no matter how big of a stink he makes. His mom has had a lifetime of cooking experience so I’d HOPE she was good by now. Next time he complains tell him “its okay honey, by the time I get to your mom’s age I’ll be an expert too”.
