Her eating when you don’t think it’s ready is your biggest concern? Leaving a pot of meat sitting out overnight violates every standard of food safety. You’re more likely to die of botulism than to die on this hill.
I also think you’re an over controlling a$$hole.
Honestly sounds like a dumb hill to die on. Your wife was hungry and she ate the food you made.
Unless you’re also plating every meal like some haute cuisine restaurant, let it go
Yeah that sounds even more controlling than before.
Next time think to yourself: would I rather be happy or right?
I mean, kinda depends on the context here. If you've taken on the responsibility to make the food, and you make a habit of leaving half-finished food projects in the fridge instead of food she can actually eat, it's unreasonable to expect her to just starve.
If you occasionally have a big project that you're putting a lot of time into and she's sabotaging it by eating it before it's done when there's other food to eat / she's responsible for getting her own food, then that's a very different story. I'd be beyond pissed if my partner ate the layers of a complicated cake I was making, for example.
My partner and I have a pretty simple system: by default, if we bought it together it's for eating whenever, if we made it together we eat it together (or split it), if one of us bought it/made it themselves the other doesn't touch it unless stated otherwise (e.g. "I made cookies, enjoy!")
It sounds like you haven't gotten to the "agreeing with your wife on what is reasonable" part, which is kind of a prereq.
Is this a real issue? My husband and I live together. Any/all food is fair game. If you take the last, you put it on the list to be replaced. If you are cooking something, you give a status - it’s done, it’s not, etc. If you purchase food/ingredients for something special, you say so. When our grown son comes to visit, he may ask if it is okay to eat something and that feels weird. My response is always, you grew up here. You never need to ask about food. It’s food. Would it have been too difficult to leave a note or proactively communicate in someway that your meat was a work of art and not done yet?
This is a dumb hill to die on. Let your wife eat
I say put it in a crockpot, and then everyone is happy. After my husband's heart attack, he doesn't help with cooking anymore. So, as I create sodium free and diabetic friendly foods, the crockpot comes in handy.
Best of luck!
Did I read that correctly? You left meat on the stove overnight? Was the burner on? Or did you just give your wife food poisoning? If it was cooking then it was definitely done! And you should have no issues with her eating it!
No wonder this world seems so frigged
