Boyfriend’s mother expects him to take food from her daily.
Me(28F) and boyfriend(29F) are living together. I have been cooking my own meals since very long and I like cooking. I would say I am a good cook.
My boyfriend also enjoys my cooking. He can only cook 1-2 dishes. I do most of the cooking daily.
His mother on the other hand thinks that he doesn’t eat proper meals and cannot cook so she daily calls him up and asks him to get food from her. And then she sends 3-4 people worth of food. The groceries that we order for our home end up not getting used. Once in a while or once a week it’s fine, I understand she is cooking out of love, but this is a daily routine now.
For him, it is a quick fix to get food from home instead of cooking on our own.
This thing is getting under my skin, I have been independent for a longtime now and I wanna be able to cook food for myself or us. I spend my days after 9-5 job planning what to cook and order the groceries but then he gets food from home and all my efforts go in vain.
How are you really independent if you are too lazy to cook your own food and just get it from home daily. I have tried having a conversation with him and he bluntly said that “you cook your own food and eat it” as it is not my concern.
Just wanted to get this out.
