Actually, I trained him.

He's not allowed in my kitchen when I'm cooking, and when I'm not cooking, he's allowed to pass through to the living room and maybe stop for chips.

When we first got married I explained I have a few simple rules -- I do all the cooking, he pays for all the groceries. He's to give me his dinner request first thing in the morning, not change his mind, and not kibbitz on the spices. If I thought it needed more oregano, I would have used more oregano.

I'll be glad when football season starts so I can tell him to go watch a game instead of trying to sneak in and add cayenne pepper to the sauce.

Actually. It's the illusion that you're in charge. But it give you ladies comfort. So we figure...why rock the boat? Especially when you have a woman that can cook.

Now with my wife, I lay down the law! Here's how it's gonna be and it better be done this way or else! :) HA!

Actually, she comes up with the meals and I eat what's served. In the same notion, she won't cook what I don't like. So it works out. And I can't wait for football season either.

It does appear that your husband lacks his backbone. I can see I need to have a couple of conversations with him to get you straightened out. He'll soon discover how right things can be in the world. :) HAHAHA!
