We got married 10 years ago. I actually fell for him because of how good he was at cooking and his good taste. He always knew where we had to go to eat and how to combine the dishes together to get the best taste, which impressed me a lot.
But I did not expect that this would become a problem in our marriage.
I have cooked most of the time since we got married, and my husband has assisted me whenever he is free. Since I come from a central province while my husband is from Hanoi, my taste preference is a bit different to his.
We argue a lot because of that clash, and I get offended sometimes as he makes me feel like he is mocking me for my origins.
Moreover, he often checks up on our grocery stock as well, and belittles me if there is any dirt left on the eggs or any rotten vegetables in the fridge.
He also blames me if I cook too much or too little. He asks which ingredients I used if the dish does not fit his taste preference. Sometimes he criticizes what I cook even though all our kids say they taste good, which discourages me.
If I justify myself, he gets mad, throws the chopsticks, and goes out to eat. So, I learned that I should remain silent every time it happens, since I know we will end up arguing if I respond.
I do not know how long I can put up with this situation.
What should I do?
