    I handle the simple meals. Cooking burgers, Spaghetti ect ect. I do this 6 days a week.

    The one day a week where a meal needs to be more hands on and takes times she takes over. She makes ribs that puts restaurants to shame.

    I like to cook, so… I do the cooking?

    Usually I prepare dinner. She doesn’t really eat lunch and if I do it’s usually leftovers. If not, I make a quick meal with what I have.

    She doesn’t hate cooking but since I like doing it it just came naturally, I don’t think we ever discussed it.

    Oh and I also do the dishes. I like doing them as well and it’s usually a bit of dull time that I use to listen to audiobooks or watch something on YouTube.

    Whoever has the most spoons does the cooking

    Wife and I are both pretty good cooks. She used to do most of the cooking because I didn’t get home from work until 9 pm most night.

    Now I changed careers (thank god) and work from home so I do most of it unless she asks to

    I cook for myself. I do pasta, legumes, vegetables, baking bread sometimes if I have to go for hikes, etc etc.

    I cook Monday Wednesday Friday one week and Tuesday and Thursday the next. Weekends are leftovers nights

    I love cooking, always did, but last year or so I started preparing 3 (different) meals a day and as my family got very happily used to that, so the cooking part goes on me lol

    I wish I became a chef, but I think I’m too old to change a profesison. When I had a GF, it was also me the one who used to prepare food most of the days and it worked fine.
    I spend maybe 2-3 hrs a day in the kitchen.

    I cook, she bakes

    We take turns. Whoever cooks gets to pick the meal.

  12. failed_install Avatar

    I put together the daily menu for the week, she reviews then suggests or vetoes. I cook, she cleans.

    I meal prep for her, she meal preps for me.
    When we have guests I take care of things with meat and some sauces, she makes the carbs and desserts/baked goods

    At first my boyfriend’s passion for cooking made me feel a bit insecure since I’m terrible at it. Now I just appreciate having a partner who genuinely enjoys feeding us. He experiments with new recipes while I take care of grocery shopping and meal prep.

    I love to cook. 66 male. She is happy about that.

  16. IndexCardLife Avatar

    I don’t really like to but I don’t hate it lol

    She has a flip flop early / late schedule so two days of the week I’m home before her so I cook those days and she does the other 3. We go out sometimes on Friday instead and sometimes I order Indian takeout lol

    Back when I was married, I did all the cooking but since my SO was both an awful cook and had no interest in learning how to get better, he paid for takeout out of his personal funds on the nights that I was too busy to cook or we didn’t have leftovers.

    I like to cook and I’m single, I cook what the hell I want.

  19. tedlyb Avatar

    Normally I do the majority of the cooking when I’m in a relationship. One person cooks, the other does dishes.

  20. LofderZotheid Avatar

    I shop for groceries, cook and clean up afterwards. She does all the other chores. She states it’s because she only works three days a week. And having me cooking feels incredibly luxurious to her.

  21. kalelopaka Avatar

    We shop for groceries and plan meals, I do most, about 95% of the cooking, she cooks on occasion. I’m the better cook so she doesn’t mind me cooking. We both work and I usually get home earlier, so I get started on dinner.

  22. No-Morning-475 Avatar

    I cook during the week he cooks on the weekend or we go out . I always clean up because I don’t like his cleaning. He will help put dishes in and out of dishwasher every night.

  23. StarMan-88 Avatar

    In my current and previous relationships, I am the one on kitchen duty the majority of the time – i.e. cooking (because I’m the one with the ideas and recipes) and cleaning (because no one else likes to volunteer – or volunteer on a timely basis I should clarify). My partner will usually cook if it’s a specific dish they like or prefer to cook, but otherwise it’s usually me since I’m the one either working from home or home at a decent time to get everything prepped and going before they are.

    I cook dinner like 4 days out of the week with a leftover day. Weekends you’re on your own. On holidays the family tells me what they want and I’ll usually make it.

  25. FatLeeAdama2 Avatar

    I make the “meals” she does holidays (I help).

    My wife struggles with schedules and cooking “cleanly”. So… it’s actually easier for me to cook.

  26. VonSnoot123 Avatar

    I do the lions share of the cooking. This is both because I get home from work before my wife and she can’t cook for shit so it works for us. I’d rather cook every day than eat her cooking. I love her but she’s not that good in the kitchen.

  27. UserJH4202 Avatar

    My wife and I make a weekly menu. We both love to cook. I do most of the grocery shopping. I mise en place for her a lot, but prefer to cook alone. So, basically, we both cook and plan our week so we both get a chance to indulge.

  28. PunchBeard Avatar

    I do 99% of the cooking and everything that goes into it like planning the meals and shopping for groceries and she does 99% of the cleaning around the house and she does all the bills. Although that last on is mostly because she’s really REALLY good at finances.

    Some people might see this arrangement as inequal or that she’s doing more but to them I just say this: You ain’t had my fucking cooking.

  29. rickityrickityrack Avatar

    I do the grocery shopping, cook 6 days a week, she cooks on Sunday, I do all the clean up. I love to cook and have been told that a man cooking is sexy, same as a man who does the dishes. Not sure I believe that

    I love cooking. Me and my GF don’t live together full time, but I do almost all the cooking when we’re staying at my place and I sneakily restock her freezer with batch cooked dinners when I’m at hers.

    The only exception is baking. Her cookies and butter tarts etc are way better than mine, so she takes dessert duty lol

  31. speed_of_chill Avatar

    We alternate cooking most meals, with a couple of exceptions. I cook anything that involves fish. For some reason, cooking fish makes her nervous. And, I’ve become the weekend breakfast maven of the household. Not sure how that happened, but here we are.

    I cook the most in the summer. I love to grill/bbq/use the blackstone. So like 5 out of 7 nights i cook for my wife and 2 boys. I do the dishes. Hate the way she washes and loads the dishwasher so she is banned from touching it lol.

  33. Diesel07012012 Avatar

    50/50 between me and my wife. Going to slowly work the teenager into the rotation this summer.

  34. molten_dragon Avatar

    I do 95% of the cooking at our house. Wife does all the dishes.

  35. Wide-Conflict357 Avatar

    She still does almost all the cooking day to day, I only cook when I wanna make something specific and feel the urge to cook.

  36. t0mt0mt0m Avatar

    I make proteins twice a week. Help with dishes and maintenance. Team work makes the dream work

  37. Lost_Now_Found Avatar

    Whoever cooks doesn’t do the dishes, though honestly I help with dishes most of the time anyways. There is no such thing as 50/50 in the real world.

  38. SoulPossum Avatar

    My wife and I both cook. The person who cooks on a particular day also does the dishes typically. More of a full ownership thing. But we also both tend to clean as we cook so there’s usually not much to do besides plates/silverware and a pot or two.

  39. ContinousSelfDevelop Avatar

    I do all the really nice meals, she handles something cheap and easy. I cook good, it is how I won her over.

  40. TacSemaj Avatar

    We take turns making dinner. And whoever doesn’t cook does dishes or we do them together.
