He cooks probably 70% of the time. And he does not drink wine. I cook more elaborately though.

He cooks breakfast during the week and one dinner, steak night.
It would be fair to say that I cook more elaborately also and spend more time planning.

I do most of the cooking because I am usually home from work earlier. My wife is a very good cook (she learned from her dad, a CIA grad), she just doesn't have the time. When we have dinner parties however it's her deal. She will give me a couple of tasks. And all our guests will say "you are so lucky that your wife is such a good cook". Little do they know it was the first time in weeks that she made dinner.

Cool He taught me how to make bread and change diapers. Now our schedules have it that we now cook for ourselves. It is what it is. Luckily, his cooking skills have translated to both our son and daughter, who are both very comfortable and creative in the kitchen.

It's how we make sure that our efforts are equitable. Smile

My 3rd wife who was from Philipines was like the best cook ever. I did not even know she had it in her when I married her. She did not speak very much English but her cooking was excellent and autentic. We lived otgether for 4 years, and I was very happy with this arrangemint, but then she moved back to Philipines.

The one after her was from Serbia and that one would not cook jack. Well, you can't win everytime, I say. Now I am single, and except for breakfats I eat out all the time. \
Hopefully my
next wife will be alright in the kitchen.

Laugh all you want foolz, you don't know what your missin'. I admit, I ain't no Fabio, so getting some quality chickies from overseas is not too bad. I know what to expect and enjoy it for what it is - tit$ for green card exchange. Some cooked, some didn't, big deal. We have take-out on every corner, not brothels. So everybody is happy, and I also get to tarvel more. although lately the health was kind of under the weather so its mostly photos and videos.

Similar to many others. I do most of the cooking, all of the grilling, and the "elaborate" stuff. She can cook when she wants to, but, since I like to, why should she?

I can also empathize with those who try to "help" their SO's only to be yelled at or chastised....

That's actually exactly how it is at my house.

Opus 2,
So is that the definition of a real man? Someone who doesn't consider themselve good looking so that they feel more inclined to enslave a bride from overseas by waving large amounts of money in their face and forcing them to cook, while trying to compare brothels to takeouts?

If that's so, I've got a looooong way to go to be a real man.
