Lea, He did not want to hurt ur feelings, asking u to fix food at ur old job. He may have made a bad decision, but don't be to mad....sometimes men have trouble figuring us out. ps don't know about ur food, but u sure do fine with ur quilting :) Beautiful job with the pink and white.

Maybe he thought it would be rubbing salt in the wound to ask you to make food for your ex-coworkers? I honestly don't understand why you are so upset. To me this sounds like a huge case of misunderstanding. Can't you just flat out ask him why he had someone else make the food for him?

I guess Im so upset because I didnt even know there was a pitch in and she did. Maybe I can get her to come and fix our christmas dinner for us too.

This is what I was thinking too! Don't let it bug you, say something to him! ;-)

Don't let it keep eating at you. That will just make it worse. Ask him.

you see it just doesnt matter, no excuse is gonna change it, its just an excuse. I'll get over it, we always do. Live and learn. LOL .....eating at me! His buddy that I cook for is a cabinet maker and has offered to make my stash cabinets, this upset dh just at the thought. Maybe I should hire him he said he would do it for a case of beer and the cost of the wood.

Could it be that, because you were recently laid-off, that he thought it would be insensitive to have you cook for a party you can't be a part of?
Tell him, you know about the "pitch in" and ask him why he didn't ask you to make something for him to bring. I wouldn't be surprised if he tells you that he was trying to protect your feelings.
