Yeah it must be important. Right after he left he brought this up and I said "you didn't even like my cooking" he said yeah I know but a crappy meal once in awhile would have been nice or something like that.
I'm trying to do this as thoughtful pursuit, the meal thing. I don't want to set myself up to fail by trying to cook every single night of the week. I do like to go out once in awhile. I mean Taco Bell isn't that bad, it's cheap and there's no mess. The last few years I've been doing all the cooking and cleaning up and I resented it, but I never asked for his help either. Just stormed around the kitchen
My sis cooks all the time, great meals. I'd rather bake than cook.
I think the bottom line is my H is a real man's man, wants to be treated the old fashion way and wants to feel needed. I didn't let him do enough for me, now I'm learning to let him do things for me, the few things that he's offered to do and now thank him.
Thanks for your insight Shiney on the mood thing.
Yeah venison roast is pretty good, especially with potatoes and carrots. I need to start pouring over recipes, I sure have enough. I think I have a new hobby for this fall and winter
