    So my sister is a personal chef for some upper middle class families, mostly lawyers and doctors who work 24/7 but still want home cooked healthy meals. My husband always complained about my disgusting food and he called me worthless in the kitchen. Every time we

    are invited to m6 sister's or mum's he would bite my head off about how they're better. I know for a fact that I am as good if not better because I was taught from the same chef, mum, who's a literal genius. I had it up to here and said FINE we can pay my sister for dinners so for a year

    now he's been paying me 750 to pay my sister. When he comes home he starts raving about how the whole apartment smells amazing from the delivered food and that only now he looked forward to coming home for dinner. The thing is it smells amazing yes but it is because the

    food is made in MY kitchen, by ME. The only thing that has changed is that I put my sister's name on it and bag the money. Ha ha ha not even sorry. He is happy, I am richer and my sister finds the whole thing amusing. Everyone wins! She offered me to work for her too

    Big_Zucchini 9800 • 2d ago NTA. The fact that he was SO insulting and vile about "your" food but now loves "sister's" food means he was just trying to hurt you, to break you down and make you feel small. His high praise now is supposed to make you jealous of your sister and feel like you aren't good enough to provide for your husband. I say keep taking the money but make an exit plan now in case he turns his attentions to hurting you elsewhere when he realizes his current angle isn't hurting you

    completedett • 2d ago YTA to yourself. Why would you stay with a man who enjoys hurting you like this? I don't see a win. Yes you are making money but I hope you are saving that money to leave him. Your husband is a abuser, who enjoys hurting you. You seem to have very low self esteem and no self respect.

    Character-Attempt-46 • 2d ago Hide the money and if he ever catches you, say that you have been taking lessons from your sis and that sis had to do something and that's why you cooked that day. Also your husband is a . NTAH but questionable.

    steamyhotpotatoes • 2d ago NTA but... why would you stay? The intent behind this is clear-attack your skills and make you question your abilities as a wife tending to her husband. Now if you're saving the money to bail the relationship, godspeed. But if this is just going to remain. some inside joke for the unforeseeable future where your husband is allowed to demean you at the expense of your sister.. . I don't know if this is a flex.

    • fromhelley 2d ago If he has to pay $750 a week to be happy with dinner, so be it. Hope your saving the money somewhere so you can do something fun!

    Constant-Cupcake-962 • 2d ago Nta he sounds awful, why are you still with this man when he speaks to you like that? Clearly your food isn't that bad if he can't. tell the difference I think its just because he knows she's a personal chef that's why he's being like this towards your cooking. I'd save the money in a separate account just incase as an emergency fund incase anything happens between the two of you.

    Nedonomicon 2d ago My mrs is not the greatest cook by any stretch of the imagination, luckily I enjoy cooking so I just cook most of our meals and she picks up the slack with stuff that I'm not so good at. You know, like normal people
