This has got to be one of the dumbest posts yet. Come on, BP!

It would be interesting to know if he smokes before they grab takeout as well.

This "man" is an idiot. He obviously has hands, because he's using them to smoke. Those are the only body parts required to cook. Why does he not cook? And she "apologised for not noticing sooner"? I'm sorry WHAT?

If this story is true (don't think so) then he guy is a cheater, and a liar. Daily smoking weed without your partner knowing is strange behaviour, and putting the blame on your cooking is even worse. I think he is an a**hole :)

People who cook have a pretty good idea of what is edible and what is not. Plus if the cooking is so bad they would have mentioned it also. My sister is a terrible cook and it is not a secret. even so, she has people who rave about her weird dishes. My point is something like this is hard to hide, it comes up in too many places. I call BS on the husband.

😂🤣👍

I wouldn't believe him. Weed does make you binge eat, but it doesn't make you like stuff you don't like, and it doesn't make you less picky - I could tell dozens of stories about people being high and going ridiculous lengths to gather some weirdly specific food, even to the point of chosing a different location of the same chain. He smokes, you don't know, and he, likely high as a kite and maybe in a bit of a panic, told you that story he made up on the spot. If I were to advise anything, accept him smoking weed, reassess your cooking and sense of smell, and that, at least should, be it.

not to be that person, but I do this. I live alone, but one of medications kills my appetite, like I eat maybe an apple or a protein bar and Im good for the day maybe two. Which is real bad from a sense of well being. I have a med card for other issues but sometimes when I'm aware I haven't eaten in a long time I smoke, just to get the munchies, because otherwise eating feels like a chore and I have to make myself do it.

OK so wife's cooking is bad. And the solutions are restaurants, takeouts, or wife learns to cook better.... until one of those options is husband also learns to cook he can eat whatever's in front of him and deal with it or pay for the takeouts and restaurants.

I call b*******. I'm a good cook but I know when I f***** up. She knows the difference between meatloaf and mashed potatoes at a restaurant and meatloaf and mashed potatoes at home and so does he. If she's not a good cook she would know.

While smelling s important for tasting it's not such a big deal if the smell is impaired but not fully missing from birth. People having an impaired sense of smell from birth and not just because of a temporary sickness or something along those lines aren't incapable if tasting stuff. While most taste is olfactory, as long as you can smell at least a bit you will taste stuff generaly just fine, it just nuances that are missing. I have a genetic defect doing just that, I would absolutely smell burning weed but probably not after it's cleaned up. And I can taste, cook and bake just fine. If she has a similar impairment to mine she will just not be able to work out herbs and spices perfectly and won't just be able to choose them by smell, if her husband is really sensitive it's possible she uses too much for him but just enough for her to get the taste she likes. But it wouldn't be a case of her not realizing her food is inedible

How do you work on your cooking skills if you get takeout more frequently?

So he's lying about his liking of OP's cooking, and lying about using weed. He must be a really good man, for sure. I'm not sure he was in his best intentions. He wanted to live his whole life in lies? Didn't want to hurt OP's feeling by telling her the food is not good, instead hurting her feelings by lying her in such important things as d..g use. I hope this story is not true, because if it is, this man is a forest of red flags, and the woman still thinks he's a good man because his intentions were good. No, they weren't.

I smoke weed to force myself to eat. This is a thing.

I have to admit, I don't have the best sense of smell. Because, allergies. It's there, just not super sharp. But it is good enough to smell weed. (And good enough to make pretty decent food. I have that going for me which is nice) Has to be op's sense of smell. There's no way you can't smell dank a*s weed. Personally I get nauseous and have to light a candle.

Dear BP "authors": Have some dignity and delete this stupid post.

I call this: things that never happened. 1. Come on!!!! How can you not EVER smell the weed? 2. He smokes SO HE CAN EAT YOUR FOOD??? What?I never heard something so absurd. And...not every kind of weed "starves" you, come one. This is a fake one.

He is putting out a bs excuse. She wasn't ho.e getting g ready to cook supper and he was s.oking. he is using it as an excuse. He's been lying about it and that means there is a trust issue somewhere

I had a coworker with a really bad sense of smell. She wouldn't even care if clients smelled like poop. She would eat everything and think everything tastes great. Her cooking was very mediocre - she had zero need to improve it - and I think it's possible we have the same situation going on in here. It's possible the husband got addicted in the process as well.

I never thought I was a particularly bad cook, just pretty basic. Then I went through a period of depression where I just didn't have the energy for much cooking so my husband took over. Now that my depression is better, my husband still likes to plan and do most of the meal prep and cooking. I just periodically say that I'm not the greatest cook... and I have yet to hear any contradiction to that from hubby, my adult son or his wife.

The amount of people comparing mild weed use to dr*gs is hilarious. Its out dated, toxic thinking and if you're an honest and educated person there is literally zero legitimate reasons to outlaw it. None. Its also not d***s its a plant. Do you dont call cigarettes d***s do you? And there is a HELL of a lot of chemicals in that. Btw no, I dont use or smoke any, never have

It always amazes me, a definite boomer, that younger generations seem to have totally missed obvious boomer tried and true methods for learning things. They're shocked and going OMG at things that were learned practically through osmosis when we boomers were their age. DOH, this lady needs a cookbook. Full of proven recipes with detailed instructions, not available through TikTok or the product of someone's whimsy.

Laugh, don't cry. He appreciates you.
