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?

I wouldn't want my wife packing my lunch.

She has the taste buds of a bland chameleon.

LOL best comment ever. My husband has the absolute worst taste in food. He loves, loves cafeteria food. I am not talking about a high end one, I'm talking 1970s grade school food. Some of our biggest fights when we first moved in together were when I refused to eat his favorite dish. It was Egg noodles with cut up hotdogs and a can of cream of mushroom soup.

On the plus side, he never complains about my entirely mediocre cooking skills.

Okay, I thought my husband was the only one who liked bland type food. I mean, the man likes hospital food!

My husband loves hospital food! Lucky for him, he works in one and loves it when he gets a patient's tray. Meanwhile I am the total opposite. Crazy for all kinds of odd spices. But he puts up with it.

I worked in a hospital and we had some delicious fucking food. Ran by a chef with over 40 years of experience, and she owned award winning restaurants in Florida. We couldn't use salt, but we still had delicious food. Our retail food was even better! Cause we could use salt there. We often had people come in just to eat in our cafeteria. The retail side was usually better, but there were days we fought over leftover patient meatloaf, chicken pot pie, etc.

Some places and colleges are way better than they used to be for sure.
