Hayden and Bonnie took hours masturbating on top of each other as Hayden continuously demanded to switch roles in having sex. When they were done, it was time for dinner. As Bonnie tried to make a nice dinner for Hayden, she spent a considerable amount of time preparing lasagna in the oven and frying fish in a pan. She served the dishes neatly, hoping to impress him with her effort and culinary skills. However, Hayden's traditional toxic masculinity thinking influenced his behavior. Instead of appreciating Bonnie's effort and expressing gratitude, he acted as though it was her duty to cook for him, reinforcing stereotypical gender roles. Bonnie, despite putting in the time and effort, felt a sense of pressure to conform to these expectations. When Hayden took a bite of the lasagna, his dissatisfaction was immediately apparent. Instead of offering constructive feedback or expressing gratitude for Bonnie's effort, he seemed critical and judgmental.
Hayden: What am I tasting here, babe? How come there's not enough cheese in the lasagna?
Hayden: I can only taste the tomato sauce!
Bonnie: I'm sorry, babe...I thought I added the correct amount you told me to...
Hayden: Doesn't seem like you did. Otherwise it wouldn't taste so bad.
Hayden: I thought you women were supposed to be great at cooking...
Hayden: What kind of wife are you gonna be if you can't make a good lasagna?
Bonnie: She almost started tearing up. If you don't like it, you can stop eating it. I should probably try it myself.
Hayden: No! You're not gonna eat anything. Not when you ruined dinner yourself.
Hayden: Get up and remake the lasagna all over again. Throw this one in the trash!
Bonnie: But it'll be a waste if I do...At least let me eat it if you don't wanna finish it.
Hayden: Did you hear me?! I said throw it in the trash for f*ck's sake!
Bonnie: Ok...I'm sorry again. I'll throw it in the trash now...
Hayden: Also, don't take too long! Don't wanna finish dinner so late.
Bonnie, feeling hurt and upset after Hayden's harsh reaction, silently choked back sobs. Hayden's yelling about the lack of cheese in the lasagna had left her emotionally shaken. Despite her efforts to please him, the criticism had taken a toll on her. After Hayden demanded her to throw away the lasagna without even allowing her a bite, Bonnie took a moment to compose herself. She silently washed the container, rinsed it with soap, and began heating up the oven again. Determined to meet Hayden's expectations, she added more than enough cheese to the new batch of lasagna, hoping to avoid another outburst. Once the second attempt was ready, Bonnie served it to Hayden.
Hayden: He took a bite and said, Much better. This is how actual lasagna should taste like.
Hayden: I could taste the cheese...You did a good job this time, Bonnie.
Despite his compliment on the improved dish, Bonnie couldn't stop crying, still deeply affected by the emotional wounds caused by his previous outburst. In an effort to address the situation, Hayden "gently" expressed to Bonnie that he was just being honest about the lasagna.
Hayden: Still crying over my remarks? There's no need to, babe.
Hayden: You know me...I refuse to sugarcoat things. If something isn't good, it needs to be fixed.
Hayden: I'm trying to help you to get better at anything you do in life, Bonnie. Since you're younger and inexperienced than me.
Bonnie: No, I'm not crying...I'll try to do better next time.
