What would you women think of having a husband that prefered to do his own laundry and cook his own meals?

Question

How would you feel if he said he would feel wrong for having you cook and do laundry, so he never makes you?

Answer 1

where do i sign up? Seriously tho whatever he wants to do to contribute to the running of the household I wouldnt mind...bc some men wont pick up a towel n cant even boil water in a pot.

Answer 2

depends on why he wanted it. Does he not like my cooking or think I cant' do laundry properly? Or is it he just doesnt want to treat me like a slave. Y'see I used to try to cook for my ex hubby and he would say "I am not in the mood for that " and cook something else after I put a lot of thought into a meal (I was a stay at home wife and mom) now if we took turns doing that (now that I work) that would be fine but if I was again a stay at home I would feel un appreciated or un needed if I didn't have something to do for him and would feel wrong with him working all day and then cooking and cleaning up after himself when I am perfectly capable of it.

Answer 3

She sounds like she is carrying a full plate here, house, children, and a growing business which is like a new born, it takes a lot of time, you lose sleep over this and it costs so much money for the upkeep of the business and to make sure the business is healthy. I would say that your friend needs more counseling, and it also sounds like she has a strong head on her shoulders and if she does not want to go through counseling, because she has been there and done that, then she is strong enough to file for a divorce, and keep everything, since from your question she takes care of everything! It sounds like she is in a good position for a divorce and to hire an excellent attorney and to get what she deserves.

Answer 4

there are only a few men like the one you mention; some men have learned to do such things because of responsibility, mom showed them how, do not want to bother the wife, or there can be other issues that he prefers you do not know of---signs of infidelity. You cannot be a mind reader so try to know why by just asking him or relax and let him cook dinner and other meals for you; if he wants he can also take of other duties around the house if does not, ask why not; still you can be asking to take more duties on yourself.

Answer 5

Sounds weird. Try this ... each of you cook a meal for both and alternate nights. As for laundry, will he do yours too?

Answer 6

Love it Love it Love it
My husband and I work different shifts and we both share in everything. He does laundry and cooks and I clean and whatever else needs to be done.

This is great

Answer 7

I think I would just about sh*t a brick if he ever came home and wanted to cook, let alone do laundry!

Answer 8

is it just his laundry and his own meals, or does he do it for the both of you?
In my previous marriage, I did my own laundry and fed myself, because my wife decided that it was sexist that I asked her to do both things (I was working two full time jobs and she was unemployed by her own choice)
I didn't demand she cook and clean everyday, but sometimes would have been nice.

Answer 9

My husband frequently cooks and does laundry, and I'm pretty psyched about it! :) We split the household chores equally.

Answer 10

I'd like it. But if he never ate my cooking or let me wash something of his over a long period of time, I would wonder what the deal was.
