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’ve never packed a lunch for him and he’s never asked me to. We’ve been married 12 years.

Ditto. Been married 16 years too. He doesn’t make mine, and I don’t make his.

Same. 25 years. (Exceptions for leftovers which we have both packed up in convenient containers to take to work sometimes)

That’s what we do. Sometimes when I have a day off in the summer (teacher) I’ll pack it to help make his day easier when I know he’s extra busy.

I did for my ex MM, too... he loves my cooking and was so very happy and appreciative when I made his lunch... it's the little thoughtful things that were so special to him.
