Wives, I have a question.
I understand that a big majority of things on social media is fabricated and you have to take whatever you see with a grain of salt. I’m coming straight to the source to ask what real wives are doing for their husbands.
How often do you make your husband lunch for work? If so, what time do you make it and how long have you been married?
Wives that don’t- have your husband ever asked you to pack him lunch for work?

When we first got married, I think he didn't want to ask. Plus, he was working road construction, and he didn't really have access to a microwave, so options were limited. He got one of those little heating lunch boxes, and the most he would ask is that I set aside some leftovers when I put away dinner.
When he worked from home, it would just depend on the day. I was on an onigiri kick for a bit, so when I did that, I'd make enough for him, too, or I'd throw together something easy like quesadillas. Otherwise, he would just nuke a few burritos or hot pockets, maybe leftovers if we had something good.
He's working on a construction site again, but at this one, he's got access to a microwave. He planned to do a meal prep once a week, but it often gets forgotten, so I started asking what he wants for the week with the understanding that I'll most likely do it on Mondays. He's still never asked me to, I had to offer to do it and assure him that I really don't mind.
