Family chef requests last minute grocery shop from partner every time he cooks, flips out when she starts to refuse: 'I am starting to feel he does this to make me earn my meal'

For those of us who can find cooking tiresome, there is no greater privilege than living with an individual who loves to be in the kitchen. What a relief to have somebody else planning dinner and spending all that time over the stove. Of course, there is usually an expectation that you will contribute, whether that be through dishes or groceries, but so long as that is all planned out, it should not be an issue.

That being said, it is possible for these kinds of arrangements to become troublesome with the wrong management. With impure intentions, an offer to cook can become a headache in disguise. If you aren't careful, you can be left wishing that you could have just heated up a microwave meal for yourself and been done with it. Food is best enjoyed as a social thing, but only when everybody is willing to have the right attitude.

This is something that one woman found herself struggling with when her live-in partner insisted on doing all the cooking for the household. He kept requesting that she go to the store to buy him ingredients he forgot while he was in the process of cooking, despite him being picky and desiring to do most of the grocery shopping himself. She also resented the fact that he did not clean up the kitchen as he cooked.
This led to her beginning to refuse his requests, something which he complained about. She wanted to know if her response was unreasonable.

AITA for refusing to go to the store when my significant other cooks meals for me?
