Did I overreact?
I will try to keep this short, I’ve been married for a year and cook all of our meals from scratch I don’t do it because it’s expected of me it’s just my love language I love cooking for the people I care about and seeing their reactions to my dishes. Something that has bothered me from some time now is that if I make a meal that my husband’s father or Grandma has made for him growing up he will say “this was good but my grandma makes the best xyz” or “this almost comes close to my dads xyz” so last night I made fried chicken, sweet corn and mashed potatoes nothing crazy I wasn’t feeling well I’ve come down with a stomach bug and he said “this was great honey but my grandma still has the best friend chicken.” I snapped…grabbed his plate and scraped it all in the trash and went to bed. I’m not one to waste food at all so I apologize in advance if this triggers anyone but the constant comparisons is irritating it’s just like he never appreciates any meal I make, I get it food is subjective I’ve had his grandma’s food and she can’t cook point blank. How can i apologize but also let him know that the constant comparisons instead of appreciation is obnoxious?
