I am lucky too because my fiance is a very good cook, so he likes to cook with me or to even cook him self. we both enjoy it. But he also takes me out a lot too. <3 He would never want me to cook if I was sick I am sure.
You are lucky! I know what his user name is! He really loves you!

Eating out on the weekends is a very nice feeling. Go to a nice clean restaurant, two of us sit and talk, enjoy nice food, it is like a date!

My husband is cheap, but only with his family and wife. When it comes to my husband, he goes all out. He's a jerk.

Why do you stay with him?

Just keep it running till the wheels fall off or until it costs more to fix than to replace with a 3 year old car from CARMAX.
depends on what you have more of cash or time.


If you have the knowledge and time its probley better to do it yourself.

I know somebody, she doesn't like to cook,

She thinks: I make $20 an hour. If we eat out, a meal is 6$ for my husband and me. I don't want to spend my time cooking! If I cook, it means our meal is $20! But she totally forgets she is not working for that hour. She only works three hours a day!

What weird thinking!

Whatever did people do before 1910 ?

"Whatever did people do before 1910 ? "

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

To be fair though, before 1910, lots (most?) of women worked in the home and had more time to cook.

But I can't imagine my grandmother (born 1900) thinking "I deserve (fill in blank)". She was too busy thinking how to stretch every dollar, and every food ration coupon.
