I was gonna start a meal prep business last year but I didn’t end up doing it but I did buy a lot of the ingredients to start it up but I didn’t take my money back. It was just sitting in my fridge and I didn’t want to let it waste so I started to cook. I started making food for us because I like making food for family and friends I also liked the idea of making full meals for both of us that would last all week. I also cooked for my fiancé’s parents because I felt bad that I was cooking for us but not them.<br><br>I felt bad because I was spending so much money and time on them and it really hit me when my fiancé’s mother told me that her and her husband couldn’t believe that I was making their food free. <br><br>This came up and she said I felt bad that you spent so much on making 3 people meals. She said that I shouldn’t go out of my pocket to pay for my fiancé’s food and she told me that she felt bad that I was using my money to make them food. She told me that I need to tell my fiancé that I can’t afford to make 3 people food anymore. I told her that I would talk to him. <br><br>I talked to my fiancé and he was shocked that I was upset that I could no longer afford to make them food. He said he never knew that I was upset and he said that he thought that I didn’t mind. I told him that I really don’t mind but it’s just too much and I really can’t afford to make food for 3 people. <br><br>I explained that I am a college student and I don’t really have that kind of money to spend on food every week. He said that he will pay for me to make his parents food but I have to pay for mine. I told him that I am not asking for him to pay for me to make his food. I just don’t want to make them food anymore because I can’t afford to. I offered to make him some dinners just not the whole week and he said that he will pay for me to make him a weeks worth of dinners. I said that no I don’t want to be paid to make you dinner.<br><br>This turned into a huge argument and he said that I have to make his parents food. I told him I don’t have to and that I’m not going to make food anymore because it’s not my responsibility. That’s when he said that I need to learn how to be a wife. I told him that I can’t just pay for his parents food I don’t have the money and that I would rather eat fast food then to spend all of my money on his food. He said that it’s not just his money that I’m spending but he also said that he makes more then me so I should just let him pay for the food.<br><br>I told him that I’m not letting him pay me to make him food and that I’m done making him food. He got mad at me and left the house. He hasn’t called me or came back. <br><br>I don’t know what to do because he was planning on paying for the majority of the wedding and now that he is gone I’m really stressing out bad because money is already tight but now it’s worse because I don’t have the money for a wedding. <br><br>This is making me very depressed and I really don’t know what to do. I’ve been crying for the last day and a half.
