Mission impossible: feeding my husband. Helpful suggestions?

[Flaxbee]

71. This is totally bizarre. Cooking something for my spouse is supposed to make me see him as a

non sexual baby?

I love this guy. I want him to be healthy and happy. Making food for your family is as ancient a ritual as you'll get - the hearth, the home, food preparation - all part of being human and living with and caring for others in your home.

He cooks for me, too. When I was working 80+ hour weeks as a lawyer in DC, he'd always have something great for me when I got home, even if it was at midnight. I do think I indicated that he's a great cook, but he's overwhelmed with things to do right now. It's my turn to pitch in.

OK. So, cooking for one's spouse makes him or her into an infant. Especially if that spouse has special food requests, likes and/or dislikes.



I'm sorry, pitohui, you responded to my post in detail and I appreciate that, but this is such an off-kilter way to see marriage and relationships I can't even relate.
