Having a partner who’s capable of cooking up delicious meals everyday is a blessing for many as it eliminates the need to worry over what to eat for the day.
But for one man, it had turned into a source of frustration as he got tired of having the same kind of food for several days in a week.
Wife cooks nasi lemak way too often
In an anonymous posting on Reddit, the man said his wife was obsessed with making nasi lemak as it was her comfort food and “go-to meal” whenever she runs out of ideas over what to cook.
He explained that the crux of the issue wasn’t the food itself, but the frequency as his wife would cook nasi lemak “almost every two or three days”, sometimes having for three meals a day.
At first I didn’t mind. I mean, who doesn’t like nasi lemak? But after eating it so often, I’ve honestly started to get sick of it. I crave variety.
“Sometimes I just want something simple like soup, noodles, or even Western food, but I feel bad complaining because she’s cooking with love.”
The man added that while he doesn’t wish to hurt his wife’s feelings, he’s close to losing his marbles over having to eat nasi lemak so often.
“I haven’t told her yet because I don’t want to start a fight over food, but it’s been bothering me more than I’d like to admit. Just needed to let that out,” he concluded.
‘You cook yourself lah!’
Netizens didn’t take the man’s complaint too kindly and some left rather harsh feedback for him.
One told the man to cook meals for himself if he wanted variety and not whine about the lack of it if he doesn’t help his wife to prepare different meals.
Another said the issue could be solved if the man simply took the time to communicate with his wife over how he felt.
Another reminded the man to count his blessings as his wife is one of the rare few who still cooks for their partner at home.
