There’s nothing like coming home from a hard day at work to a delicious home cooked meal.

That’s what the woman in today’s story thought she was going to experience when she got home from work, but it didn’t work out like that at all.

Now her boyfriend is mad at her, and she still has to cook dinner.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for coming home upset after my boyfriend said he would cook and didn’t

For context, my (F23) boyfriend (M26) and i live together.

He is still studying (online) and i work full time (7:30 to 4pm).

He is at home the entire day.

She was really hungry.

I usually come home to cook and i really don’t mind it at all.

Today my boyfriend said he would cook as i told him i was really hungry during work. (so that the food would be done when i got home so i could just eat)

That’s not at all what happened.

I got home and nothing was done.

I got very irritated and just went straight to the kitchen and started cooking.

My boyfriend saw that i was upset and said he was gonna cook but he was waiting for the maid to come and wash the pots and she only came at 3pm.

In my head i thought why can’t you wash one pot? but i said nothing.

She didn’t exactly say “nothing.” She asked a different question.

Instead i said, why couldn’t you at least prepare the things i needed to cook like cut the onions, peel the potatoes etc.

He goes on to say he didn’t do it because where would he leave it while the maid cleans.

I was just shocked because firstly that’s the dumbest excuse anyone could come up with, and secondly, can you not use common sense?

Somehow her boyfriend is mad at her.

Anyway, long story short, he’s now mad at me and not talking to me and sleeping in the lounge.

I’m so frustrated, how can he be mad at me for something he did????

AITA for getting upset with him because he didn’t cook?

It seems like she is the one who should be upset. Her boyfriend never should’ve offered to cook if he wasn’t going to do it. Unmet expectations can be very disappointing.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This person suggests showing him how she feels.

These are good questions.

Maybe he never really intended to cook.

This older man thinks the boyfriend needs to do a lot more around the house.

Her boyfriend needs to step up.

And grow up while he’s at it.
