How do you feel when you cook dinner with all fresh ingredients and your significant other/spouse walks in (having known you were making dinner) and says they just grabbed some fast food and aren’t hungry...?

Well that just doesn't happen. I have dinner ready every single day when they get home and I make food all weekend. Never a reason to get fast food really. That sounds like a depressing relationship to be so forgotten/taken for granted that they don't even notice you making a home made meal

Tell me in advance if you're fucking cooking, shitbag. One of the reasons I dumped my ex was over this nonsense. I might not be in the mood for whatever you cooked, I might just not be hungry the instant I walk in the door, I might be trying to lose some weight. Whatever the factor is, don't make me force myself to pretend appreciative when in fact I'm not, and you can't communicate.

Also, I did just read this part, but "all fresh ingredients" and homemade cooking just aren't always going to hit the spot. Sometimes I want a burger, or some tacos, or french fries, not your weird bowl of chili with spinach that you made me.

There were other issues of course, but she really was heartbroken. I do feel bad, because I know a lot of what she did came from a good place. I just hadn't learned yet that I had no interest in the classic relationship model where you're a tied down 1950's-esque couple.

I've learned to communicate better since then, and my current girlfriend and I discuss dinner plans well in advance, normally taking care of ourselves.

It could be rudeness, lack of respect, but it doesn't have to be without some kind of explanation.
It can be that your SO is not eating at a good interval during the day. Lunch is at 11am, done by 12, and then into the car by 6, traffic for 1.5 hours, and it's just too long to go without eating without a massive craving where everything you haven't had in a while is just too inviting. They need a planned snack at 3PM, a handful of trail mix, an apple, or a cappuccino and a cookie. It's too much temptation to drive past places and not eat. It could be they stopped to use a bathroom and then felt weird not being a customer.

But, call them on it if you really want. You could request that they quickly say something if they eat, k? Quick text "I am having mcd's, want me to bring you something?" I might forgo the dinner plans and join you or call a friend to come over and split a bottle of wine while I cook. Or, I might have froze half instead, or made it the next night.

Keep in mind a few things that might reveal itself, like a serious food issue like addiction or lack of ability to diet or be sensible or give and take in a relationship. It could be that this can lead to an argument where the outcome is they honestly don't care about food in the same way that you do, and don't at all appreciate things you do or cook other than just a chore that keeps you alive. It may not be worth it to have the same thing the other person is having, ever. This is the spouse that you need a restaurant with a large menu, so when you're in the mood for seafood and steak, they can get their crappy ass spinach salad and baked apple dessert. Or when you want pasta, they hate italian, but the diner they like has a decent italian cook. Etc. For some people, just dining out is the event to feel alive, be among noise and people, dress up even. Not everyone wants to be home.

1. That shit takes time and ingredients that will go to waste unless everyone is eating burgers or tacos or whatever.
2. Not really, sometimes a nice fast food or quick service restaurant hits the spot and and does everything quickly.

Holy shit what kind of bland planned out life do you live? And how often do you fuckers eat? I eat MAYBE twice a day, once after work, and once before bed, and that's pushing it.

I don't want to stop by the grocery store to make a fresh meal EVERY time I feel like eating something different than what's in the fridge. Cooking at home is just fine and can be nice, but it's not always better, and sometimes you're just too tired from the day to not stop off and let someone more skilled in the dish put it together for you in 5 minutes as opposed to spending that much time.

Do you not have a job or any other priorities in life? Do you eat in every single night?

No one stops at the store every time they want to cook a meal but thank you for continuing to prove your complete autism. You go to the store once every couple weeks and just plan out what you're going to eat. It's not difficult in any way for someone with above room temperature IQ. And yeah I eat in every night except like once a month

Is it wildly insane to you that doing this is extremely fucking boring, and a waste of food if you don't like sitting in the house every single night? I know 4chan's full of shut-ins, but come on. I want to live a little, not know that I planned two weeks ago that Wednesday would be burger night and I'd better stick to it or just go throw everything away.

I like going out, seeing friends, enjoying a spontaneous night out with the girlfriend - and shocker, sometimes we don't both get home exactly at the same time.

If you have a home cooked meal waiting for you at 6 PM sharp every night, please explain to me where you fit in your social life on a normal weekday. But I bet you're one of those people who thinks a "social life" is the one time a week you and your significant other go interact with a couple you don't really like all that much.

I never said it wasn't normal. Telling someone to put their significant other on an eating schedule to make sure they come home and enjoy a home cooked meal because they can't possibly handle not eating from noon until 7 is ridiculous.

>Congrats on your eating disorder.
Most of humanity has not had three square meals a day, and doesn't need to snack or stick to a rigid eating schedule to function in our wildly sedentary lives. I know I'm a little different than others, but if you think people need snacktime to make it through a day, you're part of the obesity problem.
