I live on more than that but that's only because my mommy makes me food.

so unless I'm cooking for someone else, I doubt I'd be cooking at all. and if the person's being a jerk, I'd cozy up on the couch with a pint of soy delicious (preferably chocolate brownie).

If your wives read islamica, theyre going to know not to fall for it anymore.

Works.

Sometimes.

I think it's even better when you decide to eat by yourself.

Communication is very important in a marriage. Playing silent treatment games or whatever won't work. Plus once you start reacting, theo ther person also re-reacts and it becomes a vicious cycle.

Alhamdulilah though, my husband would never curse parents. I'm not sure what I would do if I were uspet with my husband since we've really gotten into a fight (alhamdulilllah masha'Allah!)

that's very nice and idealistic but not realistic.

you can communicate and the other person can be so mad they just dont want to deal with their spouse at the moment and rather takes a " cooling off " period....I doubt in a cooling off period that a wife would want to cook for her husband. or a husband want to clean the house for his wife.
