Two years ago, this woman and her husband planned to host a Christmas Eve dinner at their house for her parents and her two brothers.

She enjoys cooking prime rib, also sometimes referred to as standing rib roast.

While she loves this dish, she doesn’t often have the chance to eat it because not too many restaurants offer it as an option on their menus.

So, she was thrilled to be able to make this for her family.

“I also made goat cheese mashed potatoes upon my friend’s recommendation. My husband hates goat cheese, and he also only likes filet mignon, so I made him plain mashed potatoes and cooked a filet,” she said.

Earlier in the day on Christmas Eve, she made her husband’s mashed potatoes and had them in the fridge so that she could heat them up for dinner.

Her family arrived at the house while she was putting the finishing touches on the main meal, and after that, she started to heat up the plain mashed potatoes for her husband. Then, she started cooking his filet mignon.

“I got very overwhelmed with everything going on, and I told him his steak probably wasn’t going to be as done as he likes it, and he may have to heat up his mashed potatoes a little more. To clarify, he did not help me with ANY of the cooking,” she explained.

Even though her husband cleaned the house prior to the dinner, which she was grateful for, he didn’t help her with any of the food prep or cooking.

Luckily, her family gushed about how delicious all of the food was, and everything went smoothly.

“After everyone left, my husband told me that he felt like I didn’t put enough effort into his meal. I was shocked that he would say this because I went out of my way to make something I thought he would like,” she shared.

The only reason that his food wasn’t exactly the way he preferred was because she had so much going on with all of the other dishes she was simultaneously preparing, so she was stressed out and busy.

In her view, her husband could have helped her out and finished making his food for himself so that she could have focused her attention on the rest of the meal. Or, he had the option of eating the same thing as the rest of the family.

Unfortunately, instead of making either of those choices, her husband chose to whine to her after dinner.

Despite this situation happening two years ago, it was brought up a couple of days ago, and he told her that he thought she’d been “selfish” during the dinner, claiming that he thought it was “unattractive” that she wasn’t happy about making him his own meal since he didn’t like what she was cooking for everyone else.

According to her husband, he should have been her main focus rather than their guests.
