“My wife is not a good cook. We’ve been together 12 years and I’ve never told her that, not once, because just because it’s not great doesn’t mean it’s not edible. I’ve definitely had worse. And if someone is going to go out of his or her way to make a meal and share it with you, it just seems kind of douchey to complain. I think she might think it’s strange that I volunteer to do so much of the cooking, or that she thinks I like cooking more than I really do. There’s also a good chance that my food is horrible, and we’re both eating stuff we don’t really like to spare one another’s feelings. That’s kind of cute in a weird way, right? Maybe?” —Andrew C.
