My wife is from Thailaand and we‘ve been married for 4 years. We decided to start a traditional family since I earn enough money to support a few people and she just likes the idea of being a stay-at-home wife/mom. Therefore I pay the bills and provide for the family in order for her to cook, clean and take care of the kids.
It‘s been going well so far and both of us enjoy living that way. It‘s just that I kind of get a bit frustrated when it comes to her cooking food…
Don‘t get me wrong, she‘s very skilled and I appreciate it, but it‘s just the type of food that‘s been bothering me a bit.
Her culture is important to her (which I totally get) so she cooks a lot of Thai food. However, I‘m really not a fan of Thai cuisine because it‘s always spicy and consists of basically only of chilli and fish sauce. Plus some dishes such as raw weird shrimp just don‘t appeal to me.
I suggested that she might wanna try recipes that are not Thai because I‘m not a huge fan of it, but she was pretty offended. Yesterday I overheard a conversation she had on the phone complaining to her friend about this situation calling me “mai dee” with my name and some Thai words on cooking.
Am I wrong to tell her that, imagine I give you eat the same cuisine for 4 years you also sick right? Somemore Singapore multi-culture we eat all kinds of food.
Here are what netizen thinks:
- If my other half is home all day and I’m the only one putting money on the table while I have to cook for myself I might as well be single.
- I think the issue is that she’s taking care of the kids and doing all the cleaning and then when it comes times to cook she wants to go to tried and true recipes she doesn’t have to think about.
- I didn’t know if you are married you must eat the same rotation of food always, thank you kind stranger. I don’t think anyone starts a marriage and thinks ‘damn, I will never have a say in what we will eat for dinner’
