One man has had enough of his wife's disastrous attempts at cooking. As a chef, he knows his way around the kitchen, but his wife's messiness and questionable ingredient choices have pushed him to the brink. The final straw was her attempt at a new recipe - vodka pasta - which turned out to be inedible due to excessive vodka and salt. Now, he's asking his wife to stop cooking for him altogether. But is he being too harsh? Read on to find out.

When your spouse can't cook to save their life 🤦‍♂️

In a hilarious yet unfortunate situation, a man has asked his wife to stop cooking for him after a disastrous meal. From using too many utensils to making vodka pasta that tasted horrible due to excess vodka and salt, this wife's kitchen skills are clearly lacking. The husband, who works as a chef, has always cooked for them since they got married, but his wife expressed an interest in learning to cook, leading to this disastrous meal. He has now suggested she only cook for herself and clean up after herself as well. With the husband working 12 hours a day, he has no time to teach her or redo the cooking, so she'll have to learn on her own. Do you think he's being too harsh, or is he justified in not wanting to eat her cooking? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
