My husband has gained about 30 pounds since the beginning of the quarantine. My friends joked around with him and asked him what he’s been eating. Long story short, they found out that I have been doing most of the cooking and cleaning our entire marriage. 

I was in an abusive relationship before I met my husband and my ex would hit me if I didn’t cook or clean the way he wanted me to. He thought it was a woman’s job to do those things. I think that’s the reason my friends are asking me if the same thing is going on with my husband. They suspect that he’s abusive. My husband is definitely not abusive, he never asks me or tells me to cook and clean, I do it voluntarily because I like doing it. I guess I could be considered “old fashioned”. I am better at cooking than he is lol 

I really don’t want my friends to think that my husband abuses me. He’s the sweetest and most easygoing guy I’ve ever met. But I don’t know if they completely believe me or not.
