A couple times this week I was starving after getting out of work. So I ate before getting home. I then went home then gym then cooked. I couldn't wait to eat after cooking bc by the time I was done with cooking and the gym it was after 10. But at least I had lunch and dinner for the next day.
My work schedule is very inconsistent so I sometime don't get to the gym till 10 pm and then cook at 11pm. And sometimes one day in the week it's late or I'm tired and don't cook. Is it a big deal to grab something after work to keep me going for the evening. My husband gets very very angry when I do that. I don't get it.

Because he's expecting to share dinner at home with you, probably. Take a protein snack with you, for after work. Some cheese and a small piece of fruit, or a low-carb protein bar.

Is there a reason why your husband can't cook? What about getting some prepared foods at the grocery on the way home?

Is he getting angry because you aren't home to cook for him or because he is concerned about your inconsistent schedule?

You could discuss collaborative home needs and schedules. I know that sounds shocking.

This board makes me really fear for the future of the human race.

Sounds like your husband needs to learn how to cook and help out.

Sounds like he needs anger management classes, too. She didn't just say he got "angry", she said, "very, very angry". Kind of scary.

I'd be kinda ticked too if I was waiting on my wife until 11PM to have dinner.

^^^This made me LOL!!!

I was married when I was getting my graduate degree and working full time. I would cook on weekends, make a lot extra for the hub to microwave for dinner. I would get home from classes between 9 and 11 at night. He also learned to cook himself during that time or would go out if he felt like it. We would eat together on weekends.

You need to sit down and talk about schedules and work out something between you.

I would only get "very, very angry" if I cooked a meal and she ate before she got home and took off to the gym.

Other than that, he needs to cook dinner for the fam or feed himself. He isn't ENTITLED to home cooked meals every night by his wife if she has to work too.

It's not shocking I just don't know how to ask the right question to solve it. And what are the key questions to ask each other in a way that makes sense to both of us. As well determining each others' expectations. Hence I came here. What are other golks schedules and routine that maybe give us guidance, starting point and ideas.
