My ex and I used to make dinner together (aka I'd buy all the food and make it while he chops a few things). He usually got mad at me because I'm a Gordon Ramsey when it comes to cooking. He would also taste test and season it to his preference, but not get my opinion.

My current boyfriend and I make dinner together, we go to the grocery store to pick everything out, he puts on music, makes a drink for us, taste tests first then asks my opinion, slaps my butt with a spoon, and makes it a cute fun time. He involves me.
