Wow after reading most of these posts, I feel like an overly subservient housewife. During my 38 year marriage, I enjoyed cooking for the man I loved. He did not like to cook but he gladly vacuumed and folded clothes as well as being an extremely good handyman. My job often required business trips and when I was traveling , he either cooked for the kids or enjoyed invitations from friends and family.I can't say I like to cook or hate to cook, I just do it as needed and it has been often needed in my lifetime.
