    Font - My girlfriend (23F) and I (29M) recently moved in together. I work from home. she does not. My work is difficult and sometimes stressful, but it doesn't take much of my day, so we agreed on me taking most of the chores at home. She's self-admittedly not a good cook and doesn't like house work. I don't mind doing it cause I like things done my way, and I love cooking, so it works out. She jokingly calls me her "trophy wife" even though I earn more than double of what she makes.

    Font - Her work is really stressful (frontline health work) so sometimes she's a bit mean when she doesn't mean to, but a couple of weeks ago things got weird. It's getting chilly so I made soup for dinner, and she looked at me with a "wtf" face, saying soup isn't "real food", it's for "sick people". It was cassava soup, so very thick and rich, with crumbled sausages in it too, not like a vegetable broth. She ordered food for herself that night.

    Font - Last week I finally finished a "project" of sorts, making pastrami on rye. It's not a thing in my country so I had to make everything from scratch, from the bread to the meat, and the result was delicious, so when she got home I promptly made her one of those giant sandwiches you see on google images, but she exploded on me saying that if she wanted a sandwich for dinner she could make it herself, and asked what was the point of me staying at home and cooking if I'm not gonna make "real f

    Font - Last weekend she brought her friends home for a meetup. I don't mind hosting them because our house is nicer and bigger (I pay for most of the rent, too) and they also appreciate my cooking. I made some simple Asian dishes for them (vegan sushi, potstickers, spring rolls, tempura) that would be good to eat in a group setting, and also "worked the bar" cause my cocktails are decent (and always get them hammered really fast).

    Font - She joked about me cooking "real food" and her friends laughed (apparently she had already complained to them about my cooking). She then went on to say that we should give polyamory as shot, cause that way she could get a new trophy wife who could cook "real food", and so I said "is the new member of the polycule gonna pay me? Being your trophy wife and not even getting paid for it is hard!" and laughed. Apparently the joke wasn't taken well because their moods instantly went sour. Not e

    Organism - When she got back at about 3AM, I was already in bed getting ready to sleep and she was yelling at me for "airing our dirty laundry" in front of her friends, and that she shouldn't talk about money or private matters like that.

    Font - AITA for saying what I said? I think I might cause money is a sensitive issue for her (she comes from a poorer background than me)

    Font - Tyrone-Fitzgerald 9 hr. ago NTA. She shouldnt dish out (supposed) jokes, if she cant take it herself.

    Font - New_Weather6876-9 hr. ago Agreed, it sounds like she invited the friends over to verify the way she feels about the cooking. To prove a point and be like "see I can only get my partner to make me real food when we have guests over watch" which is pretty crummy to do

    Font - TheSciFiGuy80 8 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [21] ΝΤΑ If she can talk trash about you and call you names then she needs to learn how to receive the same treatment. Her reaction to sandwiches is also very scary and disturbing. She was being incredibly disrespectful to you around her friends and should be the one apologizing.
