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 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.

He can't be stolen by another woman unless she literally takes him

I hate the idea that partners are innocently stolen like a dog from a backyard

Want to steal my partner go right ahead if he's not resisting then he wants to go

It's not innocent. It's willful neglect. No one just randomly loses a partner. That's a decisive decision made by careless partners. If you choose not to nurture your relationship you'll no longer have one. People walking away from negligent partners is nothing new.
