Is it important for you that your partner is a good cook... or it is not a big deal?

I would definately appreciate it. If my partner wasnt a good cook it wouldnt be a big deal, but it is a preference. Its the same for women, i'm sure they would prefer a man who knows how to cook, and that is something i like to do!

Keep trying. You're doing well. Effort is the most important part.\n\nYou should cook him whatever is his favorite. I love pizza and would love if someone made me homemade pizza!!\n\nGo for it!

Not a male thing, from a male. I watched the kids cooked took care most the house while I work overtime to help pay to send my wife threw Nursing.. I'd have to say lack of Love or just not a good mate.

thats a thinker,\n i think i have a pretty good medium of the Cinderella story and equality, my fiance and i both work full time, we both clean our apartment (he probably cleans more than i do)\nwe both take care of our pets (8 of them) and yet he still does the little things, like bring me flowers or fix dinner for me, and i try to remember the little things also, like bring home his favorite movie, or fix him BBQ or Seafood (i hate both)\n\nthere can always be a good mix of both, you take care of each other, not just the man takes care of the woman

You are amazing and I'm sure that you are much appreciated! I work a 50+ hour week and still manage to have dinner on the table for my hubby everynight, desserts are special occasion though! I too know a lot of women who can't cook. They are married women with children and they can't even feed their family cause it is an inconvience to them!

I married a Virgo and i am a Virgo. But we both cleaned and cooked. I am divorced now but i would still do that for my lady. I beleive that if you care for someone you will do for them even more than they would do for you. That can go back and forth though. I love to please a woman and make her feel important and needed. I can only say that you need to smile and pick up after yourself while your able to, some day you might not be able to do it. Then he will do it cause he wants too.Love is built on trust and Loyalty along with feeling safe and secure with your mate, Love has many meanings , so don't miss-understand them.  You will live on no matter what ,just try to be a little bit more open about your duties as they call it ( i prefer to call it -LIFE ) And take care of yourself and your mate as he will do the same - HE BETTER !!!!

To me,it is not as important as to what he does or buys me, but how much effort he put into it.  Anyone can take you out to dinner, etc.  Not sure how old you are but here goes:  I'd like to come home, see candles all over the place, soft music playing, the aroma of a great dinner he took time to cook for me, rose petals on the bed, and candles around the tub for both of us to lie in and just hold each other.  Doesn't cost much, but means a lot.  Just be original.

No.  You want good food that you know is good on Thanksgiving.  You were just being real with him.  Nothing wrong with that.

I always try to look good for my hubby.  Even from the get go.  I always acted like myself.  When we were a little deeper into the relationship I did romantic dinners and rose petals down the hall and to the bed with candles lit everywhere.  I always try to impress him by trying new things and getting focused on what he's talking about, whether it be work or cars or whatever, even if I could care less.  If you truely love someone you will know how to impress them.  If it is a new relationship or one you're trying to start, just look your best, be confident and be yourself.  You want them to love you for who you really are and not who you are trying to pretend to be.

definately not. it means you are one of the few people who others would be lucky to know. Just because you want your partner to be a good person, doesnt make you a bad one. good 4 u!!!

No offense, but if you have to ask, niether relationship is probably a good one. When you truely love somone, there is no doubt in your mind as to what decision to make in this type of situation.

bring your own food  or you can cook your own meal and explain that you are on a strict diet.  they should understand, if not dump your bf.

Yes, I do. I cook, clean, and take care of my son. I am from the south, so alot of women out there are like that. I have been told that I am old fashioned. I like to do it for my man, makes me feel good to make him happy. He does need to help out every now and then though. There is nothing wrong with the way you treat your man, and you do deserve a break every now and then.

I love to make my woman happy; at first she could not understand why I liked doing that.  \nOn thing about her if she is not very very fresh, she will not let me do that. \n It is important that you are always fresh and clean.

Plan a romantic dinner for just you and your partner or go out on a picnic. Nothing says how much you miss her like preparing a homemade meal just for her. At least shell know how hard you worked in making the dinner.

I am married to a man with pectus and we are very happy!  I love him and he's a great guy!  It makes no difference in our lives.  If you love someone it is one thing that is easy to overlook

One aspect of a healthy relationship is happiness, and if you are always catering to his wants then you can't be happy. I'm sure that there is someone out there that will respect you choices and willing  to meet you half way when it comes to making sacrifices. My personal opinion is that you can do better, but you are the only one that cane make the final decision of whether or not you should leave.
