    I mean if the other partner goes to work and the other is at home, it's fair to expect the stay at home one to take on the burden of most housework imo.

    Full day of work and then your partner gives you shit about not cooking your own food? Fucking hell

    Where do you see it stated that she doesn't work? Maybe that's the best she can manage after a long day of work herself

    Maybe she goes into work earlier than he does, maybe she works from home, maybe she does shift work. There is nothing "baked in" to this scenario.

    No, your bias leans towards this. Careful, your misogyny is showing.

    It doesn't state the information either way. She may or may not work. Insisting that she doesn't is YOU (and the original person I replied to) adding information. I accept that both options are possible. Can you?

    Agnostocism? 😂 If you were truly agnostic, you wouldn't have started pushing your view.

    As for logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't need to prove she definitely is working, that's not how logic works. It's sufficient that I can provide even one reasonable scenario under which she could be home earlier than him but still work full time, to disprove the statement that she doesn't work. So here you go: maybe she works from home, so she cooked because she didn't have to commute.

    I get it - you interpret this scenario as evidence of her being lazy and/or incompetent. You want to buy into that, for whatever personal reasons of your own, so you ignore the facts:

    1. The picture is misleading - the chicken is cooked, that colour is a sauce. You can tell if you look closely to the right of the chicken, and to the area below the chicken where the sauce comes onto the vegetables. So not only did she cook him chicken, she even made him a sauce with it.

    2. The scenario is similarly presented in a misleading way to evoke an emotional reaction from the reader.

    a) You only know about his coming home from work because that is what he chose to tell you. He wants you to identify with him, to remember that exhausted feeling after a hard day of work.

    b) You know nothing about her circumstances. That allows the reader to inject their personal bias into the scenario, which you can see from the varied responses to the post. Your bias is toward a traditional provider/home maker relationship, which is why in your opinion such an opinion is "baked in" to the scenario. I don't have that bias because I know too many women who work and still do the majority of the household work. My experience is not the exception - there is a tremendous amount of research on this topic.

    We are a generation of young women who were told we could do anything and instead heard that we had to be everything.

    So, maybe she works. Maybe she doesn't work outside the home but recently gave birth to twins and hasn't slept properly in weeks. Maybe she has a chronic illness that makes cooking difficult. Maybe she was never taught how to cook and is trying really hard to teach herself. Maybe that meal tastes amazing.

    All I'm asking is that you see her as a human who maybe had a tough day too. To think critically and not just allow your emotions to be manipulated.

    Be grateful that someone thought enough about me to make me diner. And perhaps casually suggest we join a cooking class together.

    It's the complete and total lack of seasoning, apart from what appears to be pepper on the chicken. Also the fact that the concept of "crunch", or any form of texture, seems to be a foreign concept.

    As a former Brit, we like crunch in sandwiches by adding potato chips to them.

    Jokes aside, it all depends on the context, what are their skills? What is the thought behind it. How much money is there around?Does it taste good?

    If you know she cooks well then this may be bad. If she is absolutely new, this may even be a sweet gesture.

    It's a meal that I don't have to cook after a hard day of work, and is most likely an expression of love. There's nothing that tastes better than that.

    Honesty and the ability to receive constructive criticism are pretty great things in a relationship. Since it doesn't pass as 'something I don't have to cook', I would just thank her a lot, and apologise but say I prefer it a bit more well done, and perhaps show her how I like it. Maybe mention the risks that come with undercooked chicken. I would also be infinitely grateful if she showed me nice tricks or just simply explain in detail how she would like me to do stuff for her. All kinds of stuff.

    I love the maliciously positive comments about this fake senario.

    None of you would eat the salmonella chicken, no matter how much you respect your spouse.

    Lol. You can really tell who has and hasn't been in a long term relationship in the comments.

    Tell her she did great, but the chicken could be cooked a bit more.

    I'm married. I do most of the cooking anyway. My wife is banned from cooking chicken because of the last time. So... "<Wife's name>, we talked about this. No chicken. Let's go to the Mexican restaurant nearby tonight."

    I don't know what happened, so maybe I'm assuming too much, but wouldn't it be better for her to try again so that she can improve?

    It's not a real rule. More like a running joke, because she's had problems getting chicken dishes right more than anything else. It probably does not come across on a random comment on the Internet, but I do think it would be kinda crazy to actually have rules like that in a real relationship.
