Wife Thinks Her Husband Loves Her Cooking, Is Confused When She Finds Out Why

This story has to be fake. As someone else said, if you cook a lot--you know if you're a good cook or not. I can tell when I've made something that isn't worth eating, something that is so-so, and something that is great. She would know if her cooking was so bad her husband needs d***s to mask it. If he is seriously not impressed with anything she's made--he must have a child's palate. But then there is the fact that he does this often and she never knew? As a former weed smoker, and with a family member that still smokes--I call BS on this one. There is just no way you live with someone who smokes that regularly and are not aware of it. Also--while weed gives you the munchies and enhances the flavor of food--it isn't going to make you want to eat stuff you normally don't like. This is a ridiculous story with so many holes.

Why is she responsible for providing the food? He could be cooking half the time, or saying "You've had a long day, I'll order us take out." If he doesn't cook well, there are easy ready-to-cook options. He could be buying and heating up a carton of fresh soup, and making toast, and that's still taking initiative. This guy sounds like a slacker who just wants to sit around and smoke weed and be waited on, and he's gasslighting her into thinking the problem is her cooking skills.

If this story is true (don't think so) then he guy is a cheater, and a liar. Daily smoking weed without your partner knowing is strange behaviour, and putting the blame on your cooking is even worse. I think he is an a**hole :)

People who cook have a pretty good idea of what is edible and what is not. Plus if the cooking is so bad they would have mentioned it also. My sister is a terrible cook and it is not a secret. even so, she has people who rave about her weird dishes. My point is something like this is hard to hide, it comes up in too many places. I call BS on the husband.

😂🤣👍

I wouldn't believe him. Weed does make you binge eat, but it doesn't make you like stuff you don't like, and it doesn't make you less picky - I could tell dozens of stories about people being high and going ridiculous lengths to gather some weirdly specific food, even to the point of chosing a different location of the same chain. He smokes, you don't know, and he, likely high as a kite and maybe in a bit of a panic, told you that story he made up on the spot. If I were to advise anything, accept him smoking weed, reassess your cooking and sense of smell, and that, at least should, be it.

not to be that person, but I do this. I live alone, but one of medications kills my appetite, like I eat maybe an apple or a protein bar and Im good for the day maybe two. Which is real bad from a sense of well being. I have a med card for other issues but sometimes when I'm aware I haven't eaten in a long time I smoke, just to get the munchies, because otherwise eating feels like a chore and I have to make myself do it.

OK so wife's cooking is bad. And the solutions are restaurants, takeouts, or wife learns to cook better.... until one of those options is husband also learns to cook he can eat whatever's in front of him and deal with it or pay for the takeouts and restaurants.

I call b*******. I'm a good cook but I know when I f***** up. She knows the difference between meatloaf and mashed potatoes at a restaurant and meatloaf and mashed potatoes at home and so does he. If she's not a good cook she would know.

While smelling s important for tasting it's not such a big deal if the smell is impaired but not fully missing from birth. People having an impaired sense of smell from birth and not just because of a temporary sickness or something along those lines aren't incapable if tasting stuff. While most taste is olfactory, as long as you can smell at least a bit you will taste stuff generaly just fine, it just nuances that are missing. I have a genetic defect doing just that, I would absolutely smell burning weed but probably not after it's cleaned up. And I can taste, cook and bake just fine. If she has a similar impairment to mine she will just not be able to work out herbs and spices perfectly and won't just be able to choose them by smell, if her husband is really sensitive it's possible she uses too much for him but just enough for her to get the taste she likes. But it wouldn't be a case of her not realizing her food is inedible

How do you work on your cooking skills if you get takeout more frequently?

So he's lying about his liking of OP's cooking, and lying about using weed. He must be a really good man, for sure. I'm not sure he was in his best intentions. He wanted to live his whole life in lies? Didn't want to hurt OP's feeling by telling her the food is not good, instead hurting her feelings by lying her in such important things as d..g use. I hope this story is not true, because if it is, this man is a forest of red flags, and the woman still thinks he's a good man because his intentions were good. No, they weren't.

I smoke weed to force myself to eat. This is a thing.

I have to admit, I don't have the best sense of smell. Because, allergies. It's there, just not super sharp. But it is good enough to smell weed. (And good enough to make pretty decent food. I have that going for me which is nice) Has to be op's sense of smell. There's no way you can't smell dank a*s weed. Personally I get nauseous and have to light a candle.

I wouldn't have apologized, I would've told him it'll be bologna and peanut butter sandwiches for supper from now on unless he cooks himself something. Jerk!

This sounds so fake...

100% fake

How bad can the cooking be? Most standard dishes are very hard to cook wrong to such an extend that the cook doesn't realize mistakes. She ate her food, so it cannot be the texture, but must be the seasoning, then? Not enough or too much perhaps?

There are so many varieties of weed nowadays. Not all of them smell intense. I don't smoke but I have a family member who cannot eat unless they smoke.

Loving all the feminists women coming out of the woodworks to blast this dude for not cooking. You don't know them, or their relationship. Maybe he's also not a good cook, maybe she enjoys cooking, maybe he nearly burned down the house trying to cook before so now he's not allowed to cook any more. And to those saying how he works from home so he has time to cook, no, working from home doesn't mean you have time to be doing other things just because you are at home.

I have been a stoner for over 30 years and when people find out they are shocked!. People who don't smoke don't have a clue. Unless you catch them with a joint in his hand like she did. The smell dissipates, unlike cigarette smoke. I believe this story and if he is telling the truth would be willing to go to "cooking therapy." I suspect he was just being an a*s because you caught him. Be thankful if he is just having a fling with Mary Jane instead of a real one with a side chick, lol.
