" I ’m not even sorry . He is happy , I am richer and my babe finds the whole matter amusing . "
In a recent Reddit post shared tor/AITAH(am I the *sshole here), a now-deleted site user asked, “AITAH for lying to my husband that my sister is cooking the food he pays $750 dollars a week for when it is me who cooks?”
She shared thather sister is a personal chef “for some upper-middle-class families, mostly lawyers and doctors who work 24/7 but still want home-cooked healthy meals.”
She added, “My husband always complained about my disgusting food and he called me worthless in the kitchen” (yeesh). “Every time we are invited to my sister’s or mum’s he would bite my head off about how they’re better.”
That’s despite the fact that “I know for a fact that I am as good if not better because I was taught by the same chef, mum, who’s a literal genius,“she pointed out.
After a certain while, the original poster (OP) simply decided enough was enough. “So for a year now he’s been paying me $750 to pay my sister” to cook for them,she shared.
Now, “When he comes home he starts raving about how the whole apartment smells amazing from the delivered food,” she says.But"The thing is, it smells amazing, yes, but it is because the food is made in MY kitchen, by ME.”
“The only thing that has changed is that I put my sister’s name on it and bag the money,“she ended her post,adding “I’m not even sorry. He is happy, I am richer and my sister finds the whole thing amusing. Everyone wins!”
“NTA. The fact that he was SO insulting and vile about “your” food but now loves your ‘sister’s’ food means he was just trying to hurt you, to break you down and make you feel small. His high praise now is supposed to make you jealous of your sister and feel like you aren’t good enough to provide for your husband,“u/Big_Zucchini_9800opined.
u/BurgerThymeagreed with a later commentu/Big_Zucchini_9800made about OP planning her exit, saying, “Let your husband keep financing your escape!”
“YTA [you’re the *sshole] to yourself,“u/completedettweighed in. “Why would you stay with a man who enjoys hurting you like this? I don’t see a win.”
H/T to the netizens ofr/AITAHfor having this discussion.
