Man-Child Insists On Having His Mom Cook For Him Daily Until His Wife Finally Had Enough, And Secretly Fed Him Her Food

by Chelsi

A good portion of married couples turns to different subreddits for advice. In the absence of impartial family and friends to weigh in on their marriage issues, Reddit is the best place for fair and honest insights.

Husbands and wives ask for strangers' take on their problems whether it be about their finances, careers, priorities, and other deeper conflicts. One of the most prevailing issues lately has been about wives detailing their partners' tendency to run to their moms when something comes up in their marriage.

In short, there is no lack of seemingly well-put-together adults who are secret mama's boys. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with loving your mom — it's actually pretty sweet.

However, the men centered in these stories are going above and beyond to show their wives that their moms come first no matter what. This makes for frustrating stories that we read about and an unimaginable headache for their wives who feel guilty and neglected at the same time.

This OP's husband took being a mama's boy to the next level and OP is tired of it. Mickey, the husband, couldn't sing enough praises about his mom's cooking, so much so that he included it in his groom's speech at their wedding.

OP thought Mickey's food preference would change once they got married but she was wrong. He refuses to eat anything that OP cooks and insists on having his mom cook and deliver nightly dinners he could enjoy after work.

Except for weekends of course, where they actually go over to her house just so Mickey could eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert at his mom's place

His daily routine is to ask OP if his mom has sent his dinner yet and if OP offers him any food she cooked, Mickey would simply say he's already full

OP was growing tired of cooking food for the two of them and having it wasted because Mickey simply refused anything his mom didn't make for him

She cooked the same meal Mickey's mom made for him that day and served what she made instead. Soon, enough Mickey was praising his mom's delicious cooking not knowing his wife made it.

OP smiled and told him he was welcome. Mickey stopped eating and OP explained that it was her who made his meal. Mickey got upset for being tricked into eating food he didn't know the origins of and walked out.

He has been posting about what happened on his Facebook but didn't talk to OP that whole night. Should OP feel guilty about how she handled things?

There's more to Mickey's attitude than food preference; by choosing to only eat the food his mother makes, he is telling OP that she is not good enough for him. OP has a choice here: go along with this farce or realize her self-worth.

Will OP really let this be the norm for the rest of their marriage?

Does Mickey have a valid reason for choosing to only eat his mother's food? If not, he is just a manipulative a**hole.

Messing with people's food will automatically make you a jerk but what OP did is justified given how her husband treats her

If OP sticks to the rules above, and add some choice ones herself, then the problem might just resolve itself

Cooking is a skill honed over many years and to be with someone who can cook well & wants to cook for you is an underrated perk of being in a relationship. It's too bad Mickey can't recognize OP's value.

OP shouldn't feel guilty for what she did because she didn't really do anything that hurt Mickey, only his ego that OP got the better of him. He shouldn't feel too bad, I'm sure his mom will make him his favorite comfort food to get through this trying time.
