I'm so frikkin' beat at the end of the day I hardly find the energy to invest making anything more than macaroni and cheese.
I'm sorry, but what do you do when you get back home?
I find cooking fun & relaxing; and if you see it that way, the first thing you want to do when you come back home is change your clothes into something comfortable and just start cooking.. Growing up, that's what my father did.. (My mother couldn't even make ice-cubes.. "she could, but then she lost the recipe").. and there's nothing feminine about cooking.. most of the world famous chefs are male.. it's nothing to be ashamed about..
It's more enjoyable, engaging, and productive than watching TV or lying down waiting for your wife/gf to come back home and complain about food.. (not to imply that this is what you do).. if she can cook, that's great, you can take turns (just for fun) or cook together on the weekends.. but cooking isn't a chore! you shouldn't look at it that way.. it's like gardening (for people who like gardening).. but it serves some more direct purpose..
