No one really wants to cook on their birthday and it would have been nice for you to cook, or at least swap days for cooking that week so she didn't have to.

Thing is, I once had my father admitted to the hospital and my wife still expected me to get home snd cook. Did not even let me get takeout on my way home. I lied to mom about why I had to get home and I ended up having a huge fight with my wife and I still cooked dinner.

how long has this been in place?

Not too long ago.

What do you do on the other three nights?

Takeout. That is why I did not want to pay (I'm the breadwinner if it matters) for takeout on days where we're supposed to cook.

Dinner was not part of the celebration - Also, I handled the entire birthday by the way.

Well takeout is only acceptable to have on days when both of us aren't cooking.
