Woman Says She Told Husband She’s 'Done' Making Dinner Every Night and He Didn't Take It Well: 'It's Unfair'

After years of being the only one to make dinner, a woman said she told her husband it was time for a change — and he didn't take it that well.

In a recent "AITA" post on Reddit, which stands for "Am I the A------," the 30-year-old woman said that there's been one constant during her four-year marriage with her husband, 32. Although they both work full-time, the woman said that she's "somehow ended up being the one who cooks dinner every single night."

"At first, I didn’t mind because I enjoy cooking, but over time, it’s become exhausting," she added. "Some days, I come home after a long day and just want to relax."

Instead, the woman said that it's her husband who gets to kick back and relax.

To make matters worse, she said he never even volunteers to help clean up when they're finished eating.

Finally, she decided that she'd had enough.

"I’m done being the only one responsible for cooking dinner," she told him, adding that she "suggested that we split the responsibility — either he cooks a few nights a week, we take turns, or we order takeout sometimes."

In response, the woman said her husband got "defensive," telling her "it's not a big deal" and that she's "better at cooking anyway."

Besides, she added, "he also said he's too tired after work and doesn't see why this needs to change."

After that, the woman said she "got frustrated and told him it’s unfair to expect me to do everything when we both work."

"Now he’s upset, saying I’m overreacting and making a big deal out of something small," she aded. "He even told a couple of his friends, who are siding with him, saying 'it’s just dinner.' "

However, the Redditors in the comment section widely agreed that the woman's husband should be splitting the responsibility of cooking with his wife.

"It's 2024, both of you work full-time, so cooking every single night shouldn't just fall on you. It's about teamwork, not you doing everything," one commenter wrote. "He needs to step up, period! Don't feel bad for wanting to relax after work, too!"

And as another commenter pointed out, "If it's a small deal and it's just dinner, he can do it himself or order takeout."

Others offered up some more constructive feedback.

"You need to properly talk, tell him if he really thinks it’s no big deal he’ll cook, he needs the practice anyway as you’re the better cook. Tell him he can follow YouTube videos. Or simple recipes online," read another reply. "I mean I’d just point blank refuse to cook from here on and be looking to split up if he doesn’t step up. But that may be too far for you."
