Marriage is a partnership, though sometimes one spouse carries a bit more weight than the others.

What would you do if your spouse wasn’t contributing enough effort to the daily chores? One woman recently reached her wits end with her husband via Reddit. Here’s what she said.

AITA for giving my partner the silent treatment while they cook dinner?

I 29F and my husband 34M have been together for 10 years, married for 7 years.

Whenever I ask my husband to cook he makes it so much harder than it needs to be.

This isn’t a strong start.

He’ll ask me a million questions about the dish and it almost feels easier to do it myself.

He has done this for years.

Sounds like a case of weaponized incompetence.

We have a 3 year old and a newborn now and they need almost constant attention, feeding, changing, help with the bathroom, etc.

When he is tasked with doing the cooking now I just ignore his questions because I’m dealing with the kids.

Seems like a fair enough boundary.

If he gets upset I just tell him “Figure it out, you’re a 34 year old man.”

AITA for not helping him with dinner?

Yikes, sounds like these two need to have a serious conversation. Let’s see if Reddit was able to break the ice.

Most of the commenters shared the exact same read.

Others were baffled by the whole situation.

And encouraged the wife to stand her ground.

One person offered a witty remark.

Though another managed to put it all in perspective.

This situation is a recipe for disaster.
