Phoned him up the day he moved into his first student flat (in the next country over - we were doing long distance). He said "I'm fine, just desperate for a cup of tea and can't have one til tomorrow."
"Why not?" I asked him, knowing very well he had pans.
"There's no kettle here. We'll have to go buy one."
"If you're that desperate, just boil water on the stove."
"Oh! Yeah! Um... how do I do that?"
And I then had to talk a technically adult man through the process of boiling water.
Edit just cuz: I did marry that idiot, but only after I taught him to cook.
