Couple on the verge of divorce over dinner disputes after two years of marriage

A couple in their second year of marriage is on the brink of divorce, with the wife contemplating separation over persistent conflicts regarding evening meals. The core of their dispute lies in the starkly different culinary preferences and expectations within the household.

The wife, identified as 'A', prefers simple, uncomplicated meals. In contrast, her husband desires a new and delicious dish every evening. Initially, A dedicated herself to preparing her husband's favorite foods after work. However, after six months, the physical and mental toll of this daily culinary effort became unsustainable.

Adding to the strain, the husband refuses to eat takeout or delivery meals. On days when A prepares a simpler meal, he resorts to cooking instant ramen for himself after dinner. The situation escalated when the husband began eating dinner at his parents' home, a mere 10-minute drive away, even when his wife had prepared a meal at home.

He consistently insists on dining at his parents' house, claiming his mother cooks better. His mother has also communicated with A via text message, expressing concern that her son isn't eating properly at home and urging A to cook the dishes he likes. A feels overwhelmed by the demands of preparing dinner and cleaning up afterward, especially given her husband's escalating demands and his mother's involvement.
