I don't cook... Is it bad?

Question

Nope I don't and I can't. It frustrates me and I don't like it. I cook/make the basic (pasta, rice, beans etc) easy very easy food. But I don't do big fancy meals and stuff like that. Is it bad? I am engaged and live with my boyfriend for about 3 months. He cooks and I help him with the easiest things to do. My mom in law used to be up my ass about it since she was raised in the kitchen and I wasn't, she kept saying every single day "you need to learn how to cook young lady!" And that really made me mad. I tried to please her and learn from her but it's just not my thing... My fiancé never complained (so far) even though he's said I should learn how to cook. I just don't really like the idea, I love cleaning and taking care of the house, but cooking eh. Just no. I'm afraid he'll get tired of cooking or will want a woman that cooks for him. Maybe it's silly but I need some feedback on this...

Answer

lol my husband does all the cooking, I never cook and we both know it's better that way 😂

Answer

Lol I've cooked my boyfriend cookies probably close to 15 times each time he's threw them away. I can't bake-.-

Answer

Even if he does all the cooking and that works for your relationship, you should still at least learn how to make some things just in case he gets sick or is out of town or something. It's a good skill to acquire

Answer

Damn I feel you on this. I've been living with my boyfriend for almost 4 months and he's been on my ass for not cooking for him I've been trying to learn here and there but when I dont make food or dont have it ready when he comes home from work he's pissed off at me and says I'm hungry go make me something to eat. I try but its not my thing. I like cleaning but I don't wanna do everything I seem like a maid instead of a gf as so he calls me his soon to be wife.

Answer

I mean I dont think its fair for him to have to cook for you every single night for the rest of forever but thats just my opinion. If he's said you should learn, he's probably hinting that he doesnt wanna be the only one doing it. Its not always super fun to cook if you're not in the mood. But he will have days when he's not in the mood too and he deserves a break. Try at least mastering your favorite dishes.

Answer

It's about building up confidence. Meals don't have to be fancy.
Soups, casseroles, roasts and pastas are easy. 
I could make just a few basics and follow a recipe up to 19. From about 20-21 I would watch cooking shows like Jaimie Oliver, Ainsley Harriott which were popular atvthevtime. They inspired me - recipes were straightforward. Then I'd do them myself. Practice was what made me a decent cook. I also joined weight watchers in my early 20s to drop a size, and their recipe books were healthy and easy. Some of those recipes are still my regulars.

Answer

My boyfriends uncle gives me so much shit for this "a woman's place is in the kitchen" 
Like I don't know about you dude but I am the only girl in my entire family and I was raised outside in the dirt playing with worms and racing dirt bikes, I couldn't have cared less about staying inside with my mom and cooking. He can suck it. My boyfriend doesn't care whatsoever. He cooks our meals 💁🏼❤️
