Dear Gowther, My boyfriend is a horrible cook but he thinks he's amazing. What should I do, or should I keep swallowing it down with watery eyes and a fake smile?
Dear Anon,
I do not understand your problem. Logic tells us that if your boyfriend’s cooking is sub-par it will remain so unless you tell him otherwise. Without feedback he will continue to produce repasts of the same quality. I cannot see why you would not just tell him so. What is stopping you from explaining to him just how terrible his cooking is?
... I see. Merlin has explained that to hear that criticism might hurt one’s feelings. I do not understand why. If you cannot cook you cannot cook. There is no point in your dissembling. It serves no purpose.
