If your wife/partner is not well, will you cook at home or order out?

My wife has migraine and some other minor health issues which make trouble for her so much so that sometimes she isn't able to do anything. We don't have much resources here to afford eating out or order from outside all the time. I knew that I have to learn how to cook to take care of her in those times, so I learnt some cooking some two years back. It has been very helpful in coping the problems. Last year she got pregnant and felt sick most of the time. I was already into my masters thesis research project. I had not only my project but also presentations and report writing. At the same time I could neither afford from outside nor could I put her in more trouble, so it had been hectic last year. I used to cook most of the time throughout her pregnancy and she was more than kind to accept and eat whatever I made, which wasn't even passing to the taste that she has in her hands. I improved though, with time. She is also very generous in praising my cooking most of the time while I knew that it wasn't good enough, not at least to her standard.

Yes. I do like to do the cooking when my wife is not well. But the fact is that, I dont know cooking. So, I do get the food from the hotels outside, or just order the food to be delivered to our home itself.

i always cook for my partner when hes sick or not, and when im sick he will do the cooking for me, and he pretty good at cooking so i cant complain. and if im not sick but dont feel like cooking he will have a turn so i can have a break. even when im sick i still try my best to provide him with meals.

It's rare that my boyfriend gets sick, but when he does he likes take out, since eating toast or eggs isn't on his list of sick foods. I'm not much of a cook, and I wouldn't want to make him more sick.

well, i'm neither a wife or a husband but in case i'm, if my partner is sick, if there is enough time to cook, i'll prefer to cook at home than order from outside because the home dish we're used to and know what to add to make it to our taste. ordering from outside though maybe what you have ordered may not be your taste. they may add some other ingredients which if you were cooking yourself wouldn't add them.

I think I would rather buy food outside. Maybe I would kill my wife if she tastes my cooking or, I'm the one who'll be killed.

My husband cooks for me when I'm ill and is an excellent cook. I cook most of the time; however appreciate his thoughtfulness when I'm not able to cook. There are times when each of us will get food delivered when neither of us feels like cooking.

My husband isn't exactly an expert, but he does pretty good. There have been a few occassions when he had to step up and cook and he did fine. He doesn't like to cook though, unless he's grilling, so he doesn't do it unless he has to.

well, when he was sick, i see to it i cook his foods first hand... thats hwat he do when i am sick, he cooks for my foods, and take care of me..

I dont have partner yet.But when my mom was bedridden after her hysterectomy operation,my dad and my sister used to do all cookings at home.Even if I was at home,I couldnt do any cooking since its always better that I stay away from kitchen.

When I was sick, my husband would ask me if I would want to eat something cooked at home or something easy from a restaurant. Most often, I know he put in many hours so I would just tell him to order something because I know he is tired and I was sick so he would do that and we could relax together. So most often we would ask and if we wanted something home cooked we would do that for each other.

Of course I would do that. Both husband and wife are the two sides of a coin. They are complimentary to each other. So in emergency they have to help each other. Understanding and sense of sacrifice is a must.

I am also single. But if I was ever have a lover and that person fallsill, I would try my best to cook for them even though I'm not a really good cook. I almost burned down the house once. lol. I'll probably ask my partner first. It also depends on the illness too. Sometimes people can't eat much. If that's the case, I'll make soup! I guess think that it's more caring to cook it yourself for the one you love rather than just order some food outside...even if you're a bad cook. If I was sick I'd be even more happy if someone special cook the food themselves rather than buying it elsewhere. heh.

My husband and I share cooking responsibilities, though usually when there is a home cooked meal, its him making it. I'm better at just pulling stuff out of boxes lol... But when I was sick for several weeks and the only position I could be in was on my stomach in bed, he not only cooked, he sat beside the bed and fed me each bite! I would do the same for him if he needed me to. Thats just the way our marriage works. When one of us is down, the other steps up.

i am still single but if ever my future partner will get sick, then i will ask him what he wants to eat. if he wants something that i need to cook then i will cook it for him. i guess that will cheer him up and maybe speed up his recovery.

Order out!
