My husband claimed to have cooked “Mexican” for our sesquicentiversary. It’s clearly just Chipotle.

Yeah it's a massive chain of fast food burrito joints. I wonder if he tried to cook, failed, and had to run to grab chipotle.

But even if, he put something on the table. I think that’s really nice of him.

Yeah I feel bad for him. Big plans on anniversary's have a terrible way of falling apart at the last minute.

But why can’t a grown man cook? And why not just get chipotle in the first place and not lie about it? That’s the part that seems annoying lol. If something like that happened why not be honest with your spouse and laugh about it rather bullshitting them. Seems weird

True maybe OP will clarify. But from where I’m standing having my spouse lie about something so unimportant would be what annoyed me

This^ he still insists it was home cooked even though I found a receipt

Yikes, lying isn’t cool for whatever the reason. OP ignore the comments claiming your ungrateful. It’s not wrong to dislike your partner lying for no reason. That’s totally normal

Maybe because he knew she’d have a high standard and didn’t want her to be disappointed. The only thing weird here is her reaction to me, I honestly feel sorry for him. There are people out there literally getting nothing for their anniversary and he seems to have made an effort within his capabilities. If she doesn’t like it, she can leave? Or maybe cook HIM something because, guess what, it’s HIS anniversary, too.

You’re missing the point. It’s not the meal, it’s lying about it for no reason that’s the problem. That’s what OP doesn’t like lol.
Also effort is an active choice. I choose to put effort in for my wife on special occasions because I care. You think I was born knowing how to do everything I’ve learned to do like cook? Nah brother. I put in that effort. This mindset is just bonkers lol

How does OP or you know he didn’t cook that meal himself??? Bold assumption Mr. Know-it-all or should I call you Mr. Self-taught? Pretty quick to judge here. That’s bonkers. And I’m not your brother, I’m a woman.

All I did was clarify. You didn’t seem to understand why OP might be irritated about being randomly lied to for no reason. I explained why that might be. Also I’m a woman too so not a Mr… lol

I can only say that one of my buddies and his wife have a relationship where she would have just made fun of him for screwing up the food, been angry that he hadn't figured out something else, and still posted it all over reddit. I don't know how he does it but some people's relationship dynamics are whacky.

If she is posting about this on reddit there is a good chance she wouldn't have been alright with no matter how this turned out and at least this way she was mad but not hungry and he hoped she wouldn't notice. If you look up sesquicentiversary they've also been married for 150 years though so I would be annoyed if he couldn't cook after that long as well.

Is Chiptole a high standard?

Google answer: What does the word Sesquicentenary mean? a hundred and fiftieth anniversary
- a hundred and fiftieth anniversary. 2. a celebration of a hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

So the husband is most likely approaching 200 years old and she still expects him to cook.

Maybe she just expects he would have outgrown lying by now
