Hi, M depressed, although my hubby loves me alot he doesn't like my cooking and always raves about Moms food..

Answer 1

SO don't cook for him !!

Tell him to go home to "Mommy" !!

No - seriously .. ..

Don't let it make you sad - let him know how you feel . . .

He can't remember when "mommy" was your age and just starting out with her culinary skills . . he was just a a baby, wasn't he?

Stick with it - you will improve (geez - the awful meals that my husband had to endure in our earlier days make me cringe now . .!)

His mom has about 20 years' experience on you - TELL HIM THIS !!

If all else fails, ask his mom for tips and get her on your side.

Good luck

Stick with it - he should be more respectful of you for trying to please him. It is not your fault. Keep trying and don't give up - there is a domestic goddess in all of us, just waiting to be unleashed !

I wish you well.

Answer 2

Hi Monika,

I've been there. Here's what I would do: have hubby do the cooking. This is a button-pushing game,and no matter how well you cook, it will never be good enough. My ex-husband did the same thing every night for 4 years! Never ever a compliment. He knew it was important to me; it was just another way of keeping me in my place.

Answer 3

Monika,
Depression is not the answer. Ask him what kind of food he likes and also try to find what he likes about his Mom's food. I am sure you can impress him soon with your cooking. Also, make sure the other departments of your relationship do not get affected by his love for Mom's food and your depression. You may have to take extra care and steps in those areas also. You will be happy soon.
wishes..

Well if your husband does not like your cooking, ask him what exactly is it that he likes, does he like spicy foods, salty foods, sweets, red meats, cheese, legumes, fruits, it doesnt matter ask him what and if he says "IDK" then consider buying a cook book perhaps, and learn from it, and why not learn from his mom then?, if you want a happy marriage then you would have to swallow up your pride and make ammends to it so your marriage can a be happy one, though am sure it is. But try cooking book,s ask someone a friend, a family member about cooking, and try cooking together the both of you, if you guys cook together, you would each have an idea what each one likes. well sweets hope you can fix your problem

Answer 5

Oh I tell you,these men are all mommy's boys.My bf also used to irritate me a lot with his "best mommy in the world" stories.But tell him directly with a stren look that you don't like the comparison at all and that you don't appreciate it.His mom and you are two different people and if he wants he can call his mom over to make his meals and also tell him that his mommy can't give him everything you can.Tell him that you respect his mom a lot for what she is and if he continues to do the comparison it won't be long that you start hating his mother.You can be his mommy but his mommy can't be you.Just be a little strict and everything will be alright.

Answer 6

Popcorn, baked potato, warming stuff up. now and then, when I save, i purchase frozen stuff it is made to be cooked in the microwave. i will do this. I even have been huge-unfold to defrost with it somewhat, yet hubby never thinks of that when he desires to defrost. Hubby does maximum of our cooking. He continuously used the microwave to warmth up our vegetables. We purchase a number of those "steam and serve" packets of vegetables, and that oven is super for that. additionally super to reheat leftover vegetables, from the refrigerator. We make coffee in our 12 cup pot, then turn off the coffee maker while the coffee is finished. Hubby heats his cups of coffee in the microwave each and every of the time. I frequently in simple terms drink my coffee chilly. It makes no distinction. It gets chilly when I end sipping at a cup right here and there each and every of the time, besides. Turning the coffee maker off keeps from getting the coffee bitter in the past that is all long previous. incredibly, we use the microwave lots on a daily basis, and sure, we would omit it if it became into long previous.

Answer 7

1.Go visit his mom and learn to cook like her.
2.Take a cooking class and learn to cook different things.
3.Tell him how he is making you feel, and discuss with him how insensitive it is to you.
4.Do not be depressed, because of someone ele's reaction, that put's them in control of you. You are the only one responsible for your actions, so decide do something about it, especially if 1 & 2 do not work.

Answer 8

focus on the positives, life is not all about food. You could talk to him and ask him to be more sensitive, but don't take so much offense to it. He grew up on his mom's cooking so he's use to it, and may just be being polite. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you have a lot more to be happy about then just that your husband doesn't like your cooking. Some people just don't have the chef touch~
Good luck, cheer up!

Answer 9

if you want to in prove your cooking go take some classes ,personally i wouldn't bother .

Answer 10

This might feel like 'giving in' - but ask Mom to share her recipes with you or spend a day with her helping her to cook some of his favorites.
