It could be a problem, but if you put things in perspective here...if this is the worst problem you have, then you guys are doing great. Or think of it this way, at least you have food and a girlfriend to complain about! You're lucky.

Alright Jamie Oliver , stop showing off :P

Oddly enough, it is a Jamie Oliver recipe :) It's a really simple recipe with very few ingredients (8) and takes the same time it takes to boil some water and cook the pasta. If anyone wants the recipe, I'll post it.

If only that was our only problem , I could flood the boards with relationship problems I have.

Yep , some people might see me as lucky as I have a girlfriend but everything comes at a price. There are definately positives with having a girlfriend but if you have anxiety , depression , ASD there are also negatives which wouldn't be a problem if I were a single.

I don't understand why it irks me so much so I will try and give you an example.

Me & my GF share cooking duties ( although she's a lot better at it and does it more than me )

My GF will turn the oven on then ask me if I will put the chips in , then a bit later ask me to put the fish in , then it's almost an unwritten rule that I will dish it up as well.

I feel like she is trying to trick me into making food without me realising.

I'd have no problem if she just asked at the beginning if I will make food. It's the way she goes about that angers me.

Does anyone see a problem here , am I just being an arse , or is something else going on?

Could any of this be related to AS for either of us? ( i.e. the way she asks or the way I react )
No that this has ever happened to me but I don't imagine it would bother me. I just realized I'm effectively a three year old. :?
