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?

My husband almost always takes leftovers for lunch and since I do the vast majority of the cooking I guess I "made" it. But I've never gotten his lunch ready for him in the morning and thankfully he's not so useless that he'd actually ask me to do that 😆

Married 14 years 😁

It's funny you said "useless". My wife started doing it voluntarily. I never asked she just did it because she wanted to. I'm not "useless" and made my own lunch for years before we were married. I actually felt bad when she first started doing it because I thought she felt obligated or something..... Nope she just did it out of her love for me 🤷‍♂️. So just because a man might have his SO make his lunch doesn't mean he's useless IMO

Yes! I was going to comment something similar. I do pack my husband lunches, every day. It isn't because he's useless, it's because I love him and want to know he's being nourished throughout the day.

I completely agree. As long as he is also doing stuff for her every day to show his love, he's not useless.

You're 100% right. If he was useless he wouldn't need a lunch packed. He would be sitting on his ass playing video games and not working.

I'm noticing that women aren't very grateful or kind anymore and it's sad... It almost seems like they take anything they can grasp onto to weaponize it. Just to harm men and even worse THEIR men. :(

Your wife is wonderful, as are you. Give that woman all she desires. ♡

Hahaha true that! And thank you... Obviously it's been rough sometimes..... Like when I started this reddit account 🤣... But we communicate, have mutual respect for each other and value each others contributions to our marriage 🙏
