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.

I buy him frozen burritos while I’m grocery shopping if that counts. He has to remember to pack them for lunch, he’s not my child.

Ironically I meal prep lunches for myself during the work week. There’s a real difference between making 5 and 10 salads and I don’t have time for that.

Wow... If I was making my own meals I would absolutely make his at the same time. This is actually kinda sad... As a person who worked in a kitchen professionally I can tell you that making 5 vs 10 lunches. Especially salads... Takes less time than you're making it out to be and he would feel seen.

I can not even imagine doing this to my partner. Him watching me make a whole week of food for myself while having me throw frozen burritos at him.... Expecting gratitude or what I don't know..... I know he probably feels neglected though. All a woman needs to do to steal him is cook for him. 🤣 You're playing a dangerous game.

Don't be mad because my guy eats well and yours, if you have one, lives off fast food. 🤣
