I hate the jokes about women who can never pick a restaurant for supper. I do 100% of the meal planning, prepping, and cooking. When I want a night off, I want a night off from ALL OF THAT.

Its time you start bringing him into the kitchen to assist with cooking meals regularly. Not cooking, and not knowing how to cook is no longer a valid excuse as an adult.

Ever since my partner and I got together, and I learned he didn't know how to cook and that his mom had cooked every day of his childhood. I have made him assist me in cooking nearly every meal we've eaten together. I did not allow for the precedent to be set that I, the woman, would be doing all of the cooking and cleaning for him. (My suggestion for every woman in a new relationship.)

You best bet now is to ask for his assistance on the regular - and make it the norm that you cook together as a couple. Cooking dinner becomes 100x less a chore when you have 2 sets of working hands. Yes there is some mental labor of delegating tasks - but over time you will have to delegate less because he will learn his "job" for the different dinner dishes. Have him break up the hamburger meat, have him stir fry the chicken, have him stir what ever pot. You new personal sous chef. Dinner should never be 100% your duty again, this isn't the 1950's.
