️ Wife’s Cooking Catastrophe

Our fed-up husband decides to let his wife handle the entire cooking process for their monthly dinner party with her work friends. He even goes as far as faking a family emergency to get out of the house and leave her to cook. The menu is elaborate and delicious-sounding, but when he returns home with the kids, he finds that the food is either raw, burnt, or a combination of both! Her friends probably went to McDonald’s after that dinner because there were so many leftovers. Now, his wife is blaming him for the whole fiasco, saying he abandoned her when he’s the one who knows how to cook. Our husband hasn’t told her the truth about the fake emergency, and he’s wondering if he’s the bad guy in this situation. So, what does the internet think about this cooking catastrophe?
