If I marry a mexican man. Do I have to cook mexican food?

Question

I don't like to cook. Will this relationship work?

Answer 1

What kind of Mexican man is he?  Traditional?  Immigrant? or Mexican American raised several generations in the US?  The answer may be different depending on that...Why don't you try asking him?

Answer 2

You don't like to cook... you're getting married... will this relationship work?

Why are you asking us????

You're the one getting married... Ask your fiance what he thinks about you not cooking.

My opinion... If you don't cook then you better be bringing home some bank.

Answer 3

no. Kill him and marry local

Answer 4

A relationship should not hinge on whether or not you cook.  If it does, you should examine it.  Did you ask him if he can cook?  Maybe he can cook his own food.  

Answer 5

Ask him (indirectly) what he expects from you before you get serious about marriage

Answer 6

It depends on whether he likes that type of food or not.. For all your anxiety, he may even prefer something else.

The old saying goes "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" may not be fully applicable these days (they didn't have fancy big screen lcd's, fully blown pc systems and Wii's then).  Relationships don't always hinge on whether you like to cook or not.  But if he likes to eat home made meals, why not try it out anyway?  Or better yet, share the cooking duties, or even cook together.  You may even enjoy it.

Answer 7

You would have to work that out with your intended.  Mexican men can have certain expectations about 'their' women and one of those is that they cook for them and have their children.  Not all mexican men are this way but the old values and traditions are alive and well in many parts of latin america.

Answer 8

who says you have to cook? make the mexican cook! cook what you two like.

Answer 9

if he likes mexican food and you really care for this person why not try?

Answer 10

Just talk to him about it, yes he might expect some things from you but if you define now what you like and unlike to do that will make things easier.

Answer 11

I think yes. Mexicans want the USA to Be what they want, not what We want. But We have Taco Bell. Just buy a lot of Jalapenos. They eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If You don't love Mexico Don't Marry. They all have relatives who need a job and a place to live.

Answer 12

Im sure he wont mind what u cook for him. Maybe he doesnt even like to eat mexican food, who knows? Introduce him to yr ethnic food culture as well. If you guys can accept each other despite yr inter racial relationships, you guys can accept each others' ethnic food.

Answer 13

I married a Irish man.  I don't cook Irish food for him.  I don't think it's the type of food that will be your issue.  The issue will be cooking period.  You will either have to cook, marry someone that likes to cook or will cook or you'll be eating out a lot.

I love to cook, but when my husband and I get in the kitchen together, it's even better.  Cook with your boyfriend now, see how it goes.

If it doesn't, this needs to be a discussion before the marriage.

Answer 14

Ask his mom to move in with you.

Answer 15

if you want it to work it would be nice if you make a compromise. thats what relationships are about. If you askn a food related question over your getting married, you should consider how you really feel

Answer 16

Kinda sounds ignorant, don't you think?

Answer 17

it will only work if you are honest and upfront by letting him know you don't like to cook. if he has traditional mexican roots or is straight from mexico, more than likely it would not work. traditionally mexican men are very um.. macho and while some things have changed over time, they still want you to cook and they'll want you to cook meals mom and grandma made them.  

Answer 18

I dont think your husband will have too many expectiations, unless he is a recent rural immigrant. I would be more concerned with your mother-in-law, your new mother-in-law will have the traditional expectations that you must cook, clean, and do laundry for your husband, if you are not prepared for this, be ready for ugly confrontations. Expect the first thing your mother-in-law to do is to tell you how to make your husbands favorite meal and to inspect your house everytime she visits, she may also be critical of your laundry methods. Better learn as much as you can now .

Answer 19

I don't really like the interracial stuff... I am not a bigot..

I really care less.. But people with the most problems seem to be mixed up..

Now most men are really good cooks just make sure you and he share this drudgery..
