He sounds really helpful actually, though I agree it would be nice to mix it up a bit.

I’ve not been able to cook due to stroke for quite a while now so he does the cooking

Can you help him at all? Suggest some simple dishes that you could help him prepare?
He obviously enjoys cooking and it's probably more healthy than ready meals too.

Send him over here!

Actually my DH does cook sometimes but not every night
Sounds like bliss 😀

How long ago was your stroke Jb2022? I know how frustrating it is when you feel you are not in control of your own life. I had a stroke as a result of a brain injury many years ago and went from busy independent career woman to helpless infant in the space of about 10 seconds. Tears and tantrums were frequent in the struggle to recover and adjust. I think you have to talk to him about it, is there a barrier between you?

My 69 year old DH insists on dinner every day of the year. I’ve not been able to cook due to stroke for quite a while now so he does the cooking. It’s very plain, he wouldn’t know how to make any sauce for instance and won’t use ready meals so every evening he spends at least an hour making a dinner, same one for each day of the week and an hour cleaning up. It’s driving me mad. Am I being unreasonable, He is doing this for himself, just adding extra for me. I would love a simple platter or even a takeaway. He just makes such a meal out of it (pardon the pun). Unfortunately eating out is very awkward for me with my disabilities.
