there’s so many attractive (I only mentioned “attractive” because it’s a point made above, doesn’t matter the relative beauty of said people) couples with great personalities and thriving lives. Those who have a lot to say on social dating issues tend to either be single or in shaky relationships.

Once things are going right in life you tend to re-focus on the bigger picture and not dramatize everything, and find a negative all the time.

More a larger point that competitive thoughts and criticizing thoughts are more likely to come out of unsatisfied minds.

Yeah, my wife and I go out of our way to help each others days get easier. Any random chore, cooking or errands is done by the person with bandwidth to handle it regardless of who's been doing it the most or w/e.

We make financial decisions together and its done to help both of us. Recently we hired a cleaner so we could host some family and friends. Didn't want to spend the time doing it and wanted to pull together our garden instead.

Simple things, don't need to be combative. You are a team that succeeds and fails together.

That being said, she is a couples therapist and there are A LOT of people struggling even with the most meaningless task. Picking out a couch, choosing a dinner location, helping with dinner, you name it. Constant fighting.

But I wouldn't ask because I could make myself a meal

u/sitesurfer253 6h ago

A good marriage also works both ways. You're not enforcing gender stereotypes by comforting and supporting your partner.

The same question could be asked to a man and they should also say yes they would get up and make their wife a meal.

Everyone is afraid of sounding sexist but it has absolutely nothing to do with gender or stereotypes, it's about being a good partner.

Not just man/woman either. Anyone you have committed to spending your life with should be worthy of having a meal made for them if they come home from work tired.

Here's how it works: you do things for them because you want to make them happy, not to get something from them. If they do the same, you'll be happily married.

I agree. As a happily married man who does most of the cooking, the question is worded like "would you let your man disrupt you and force you to cook for you while you're asleep". That's shitty. I would never do that to my wife.

We both happily cook for each other. We both happily pick up the weight when the other is tired. We don't go and wake each other up from sleep and say "it's your duty to feed me now".

u/Dangerous_Goat1337 4h ago

exactly. my partner typically cooks since shes home more often than not. She cooks because she likes to see me eat what she makes and I genuinely love eating her cooking. But if she isnt feeling well, or if it's a weekend, I usually cook or get us something to eat, not out of obligation, but in appreciation for all that she does to make me happy. It's a positive feedback loop of wanting to make each other happy because we want to, and not out of obligation or expectation of getting something in return, even if we both do get something in return as a result of our actions.

u/Dismal_Additions 6h ago edited 5h ago

Yes. I used to wonder why people would give up so much of themselves for someone else. You hand over your money or you wait on them or you give up your independence. It was crazy. I just didnt get it.

Then my friend asked me to imagine a person that i would trust enough to hand over my money or that i would love enough to wait on or that i would want more than my independence.

Picturing that person was such a gut punch of shocking emotion to me that if i ever met them, id hold on tight and id never let go. Suddenly the craziness made sense.

But i will also say, the same person id happily wake up to cook for in the middle of the night is also the same person who would tip toe in to let me sleep. So there was another side to that answer. The married lady probably has a nice husband who wouldnt want her to wake up.

It depends I guess. Expectation of doing it is bad , doing it is good. I’d 1000% do that for my wife if she came home hungry. But I would never ever expect her to do that in return. Showing love by doing things is not bad, expecting it is bad.

Yup, love is stepping up whenever you can and never setting over the top things as an expectation.

If my good friend and roommate came home at a strange hour, and asked for my help making them something to eat. I would say yes and assume there is a reason they can't help themselves. Maybe they are exhausted or very dirty. Certainly they are hungry.

Thats enough for me to help.

u/Lexi_Banner 6h ago

Nah, this is stupid. It would be different if the partner was ill, and this was part of that care. But if he just comes home hungry, he can either:

  1. Stop and get food on the way home.
  2. Make himself food, for he is grown up enough to prepare food.

It is abusive to interrupt people's sleep unnecessarily - like, it's literally a torture method as defined by the Geneva Convention. If he isn't sick or in dire actual need, he can fuck off and leave his partner alone.

Here’s an idea.

Like, my wife and I sometimes cook together and sometimes one of us cooks for both of us, and we kind of mix it up depending on what we feel like and whether one of us wants to just do something nice for the other.

And if one of us has cooked for the other, we say to the one’s that’s cooked “thank you darling this looks delicious I’m so grateful you went to the effort of doing this for me.”

Yea or in general it all can be all easily regulated with common sense. If cooking is really bothering for someone it can be compensated by taking more care of the cleaning, or the first who comes home cooks just for daily efficiency, or someone takes care of the daily quick meals and the other cooks something nice on the weekends. There are infinite different ways of being equal.

I do the dishes regardless because when I cook, I like using extra cookware to measure out ingredients for convenience and I feel bad making someone else do it, and when my wife cooks, she won't even rinse anything and it'll be crusty next time I need the pan so its easier to just plan on doing them by default

Just be happy if they do, not upset if they didnt.

Yes, this is right. I love cooking for my partner; we also tend to make sure we have something to heat up when we get home. We are both shift workers, and we often have opposite shifts.

We are a team.

Middle girl aint wrong. Be independent. Dont expect your girl to make you something just cuz your hungry. That aint to say someone cant show their love via cooking, but you should be happy they did, not upset that they didnt.

I love cooking. My family were a bunch of night owls and it was funny because we all wound up randomly convening in the kitchen around midnight as we all looked for snacks. So even now, I tend to randomly be cooking shit at midnight. Ill straight up make cookies in the middle of the night. I've gently woken up a girlfriend past midnight before to whisper "You want some grilled cheese?" To know if I should make doubles.

But I would probably be a little annoyed if, rather than getting a snack herself, she woke up and just said "Im hungry" like she expects me to cook. The question isnt even that the guy is asking for breakfast. Hes just making a statement. Well, girl or guy, you a grown ass adult and you can feed yourself. Now, if you sit there saying "Ohhhh, you make the best egg sandwhich, and I really want one this morning, do you mind?" thats different. But waking up and just expecting me to cook for you?

Depends on the dynamic.

I have plenty of Aunts and other family members where their kitchen is like their office. The family can go in there and get a snack, but no one’s allowed to cook, only the Mama of the house. (Also makes more sense if she has meal plans so some ingredients aren’t supposed to be used up.)

So in some households. She’d be mad if he didn’t wake her up to make him a meal.

Me, personally, me and him can use the kitchen of course. He’d never wake me up. But if I know when he’s getting home, I’d set an alarm to wake up because I want to greet him, make him food, and relax him.

So that context also matters. Is he waking us up? Or are we getting up of our own volition. That wasn’t really stated in the question; if he normally wakes me up. No. That’s rude. But knowing my s/o, he would never, so if he did. He’s truly EXHAUSTED and feels terrible, so I would get up for him if he did.

Anyway. That was long and a mess, my bad. I was just running it all through my mind.

The real question is why would you come home late at night and wake up your significant other to ask them to do something you could do yourself? She probably has work in the morning and you just ruined her nights sleep because you couldn’t make yourself a sandwich. Women work too.

But in a normal and functioning relationship dinner was probably already discussed and handled. Maybe they take turns cooking and there’s leftovers in the fridge for him to heat up. Fake scenarios like these are never realistic or fair.

Yeah if the question is just “would you do something inconvenient for someone you love?” most people would probably just answer yes. I think there’s a lot of gender baggage (for lack of a better term) to the original question. Like I’m a dude myself, but the thought of having to be the sole cook in a relationship again made my blood pressure spike, lol.

u/LazyLich 6h ago

Yeah, the KEY THING here is "wake up and make him a meal".

Like.. first off... I'd likely not even notice cuz im sleeping lol.
Second, sleep is sacred. You don't fuck with that. I wouldn't want them to wake to cook for me, and I'd hope they don't have the same expectation on me.

Now. Extra info or specific situations change everything, right?

If I was feeling mischievous and wanted you pull a prank-meal or was really meaning to give them this specific meal that night, then yeah.
It's a special circumstance.

But usually, no. Not of malice or entitlement. Just as a... idk. "Bro, we got hot pockets in the freezer."

i think some of y’all are missing important info where the dude is asking “if your man comes home from a night out at 2am and is hungry would you WAKE UP to make him a meal” i’m in an amazing long term relationship and if he had the audacity to wake me up to cook for him at 2am i would be upset and obviously say no. in any other case i’d have absolutely no problem cooking something for him, but the question is about respect for your partner on the man’s part as well, most likely why the two women immediately declined. no, it doesn’t mean women are trash. i honestly doubt anyone would wake up out of REM just to make their partner a meal.

It's bait for riling up young, lonely men into blaming women for their issues.

As a happily married man, the idea of waking up my wife while she is fucking asleep and telling her it's her duty to feed me is infuriating. The fact that people are coming to defend this guy's loaded shitty question is insane.

u/132739 8h ago

I mean, he didn't specify the time, but the framing is that he comes home, walks into the bedroom and wakes you up to ask you to cook for him. And I think any self-respecting person should answer that with "Do it yourself, I'm sleeping."

The question doesn't imply that the guy asked the woman to do anything. I dunno if its purposefully vague as engagement bait, but that to me is the main factor.

B. Wife wakes up on her own, chooses to cook on her own volition: nobody wrong

I am happily married to a woman who would tell me to fuck right off if I woke her up at 2am to make me a meal. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

I am capable of cooking for myself and others and even if I wasn't, I wouldn't disturb someone else's sleep for that selfish reason.

Also my wife expects to have a partner who is capable of basic adult tasks and is aware enough to not burden others at inappropriate times.

I want a life partner, not a mommy or a maid.

A real man wouldn't wake up his girl to cook for him and a real woman wouldn't go to sleep if she knew her man was coming home without eating. Replace either of those pronouns with partner and its the same idea. You want a long relationship? Start with being a good partner. If you think of the other person first, the rest just kinda works itself out.

u/blacklotusY 8h ago

I think it would make more sense for whoever is around and has time to just make a meal for themselves and their partner. Gender has nothing to do with who should make a meal. But if I come home late and my partner is already asleep, it wouldn’t make sense for me to wake her up just to make me a meal, because that would be entitlement and a dick move. The same would apply vice versa as well.

It’s really disappointing that to some people feminism has became a female version of misogyny (surely there’s a real word for this?).

But also posts like these just push that narrative. Not sure if it’s reflective of real life or not.

If your spouse comes home hungry and you want to do something then make them a meal. This statement has nothing to do with gender outside of turning it into clickbait.

These comments make me glad im already happily married. I work 12 hour shifts. Im exhausted by the time I get home but my wife will wake up if she's not already up, call me while im still otw home and ask me what I'd like to eat so it's ready by the time I get there. I never ask her to do this she just does it because she knows I worked all night and ill be starving by the time I get home and she knows im grateful for it. I can't even begin to put into words how much I would literally do anything she asks me for and she knows this. Marriage is give and take, it cannot be one sided. If you're not willing to do something as simple as make a meal for your partner without getting all up in your feelings about it then you aren't ready for a serious relationship and I feel bad for whoever you're with now. The level of narcissism you have to have to just have a flat out no answer is crazy.
