In an Instagram story, Shade shared that she doesn’t enjoy cooking and never has, noting that food isn’t a priority for her. She explained that this difference led to numerous disagreements in her previous marriage.

Lessons Learned

Reflecting on the experience, Shade resolved never to pretend to enjoy something she doesn’t, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in relationships:

“One thing I learnt from my previous marriage was I would never pretend to like something. I don’t enjoy cooking, never have, probably never will.”

She further revealed that she made a conscious decision post-divorce to be upfront with any future partner about her stance on cooking:

“When I got divorced, I said with my full chest, to any man I meet, I don’t cook. Understand and accept the things you value.”

New Love, New Dynamics

Shade expressed gratitude for her current relationship, where her partner has embraced her preferences:

“Safe to say that in close to 15 months of being with my General, I have never cooked a goddam thing.”

Embracing Authenticity

Her candid revelation highlights the importance of honesty and compatibility in relationships. By staying true to herself, Shade has found a partner who values and accepts her for who she is.

Shade’s story serves as a reminder that understanding and aligning personal values with a partner’s can pave the way for healthier, conflict-free relationships.
