Resting on your laurels

To present one’s past accomplishments as evidence of present greatness; becoming lackadaisical or passive because of past accolades.
Husband: Bitch, thick chicken is dry af and these potatoes aren’t even cooked!
Wife: I made you beef Wellington with parsnip mousolline yesterday!
Husband: I’m not a misogynist, but damn it, girl! Quit resting on your laurels and step up your game.
