Anniversary Dinner Cooking Drama: Is it Wrong to Ask Your Skilled Partner to Cook?
A man's request for his girlfriend to cook their anniversary dinner sparked an massive anniversary dinner cooking drama online. PRISM breaks down why the internet sided with the girlfriend.
Would you ask your partner to spend their anniversary in the kitchen? A man recently found himself in hot water after asking his girlfriend to cook their anniversary dinner instead of taking her out. While he thought he was complimenting her skills, the internet—and his girlfriend—begged to differ.
The Anniversary Dinner Cooking Drama That Broke the Internet
The story, which went viral on Reddit, features a man who claimed his partner is an incredible cook. For their 3rd anniversary, he suggested staying in so she could whip up a five-star meal. His reasoning? Her food is better than any restaurant. However, she quickly shut him down, stating she isn't his personal chef and wanted a night off from labor.
Commenters were quick to label the move a "rookie mistake." After thousands of users pointed out his lack of consideration, the man realized that what he saw as a tribute to her talent, she saw as an unpaid work shift on a day meant for mutual celebration.
The Aftermath: A Lesson in Boundaries
In a later update, the man shared that he'd apologized. He admitted he'd been selfish and hadn't considered her perspective. They eventually settled on a high-end restaurant, but the debate continues to spark conversations about domestic labor and how we value our partners' skills without exploiting them.
