He Didn’t Want To Share His Dinner With His Wife, Even Though She Hadn’t Eaten And Had Watched Their Kids All Day
This man is currently married, and just yesterday, he got really annoyed with his wife over one specific meal: dinner.
According to him, his wife didn’t work at all yesterday and just “hung out” with the kids all day. He, on the other hand, went to work, got home at about 5:30 p.m., and went to a jujitsu class afterward.
“Dinner was not discussed, but since I was getting home at 8:30 p.m., I assumed I was on my own for dinner,” he recalled.
Anyway, he wound up getting home exhausted and totally starving. He had also been looking forward to his personal dinner all day.
He planned to have “poor man’s sushi,” which is just canned tuna and rice wrapped in seaweed. Apparently, he writes down everything that he eats every day in a food log, and he had planned out this dinner far in advance.
He also had the exact amount of rice he needed, and only two sheets of seaweed left. So, once he got home and realized his wife was giving the kids a bath, he got to work making his sushi.
“I had the entire thing written down, and I was ready to feast,” he explained.
“I was giddy with excitement sitting down at the table.”
But then, all of a sudden, his wife emerged from the bathroom, walked into the kitchen, and asked if she could have half of his food. Apparently, she and the kids went out for a late lunch, so she hadn’t eaten all night.

Now, he admitted to pausing and obviously being unhappy with the idea of splitting his food. While he didn’t want to share his dinner, though, he realized that “hogging down” the entire meal would also be selfish.
Still, his wife noticed that he paused and said it was fine. She claimed she would just figure out something else to eat on her own, but he knew that her tone implied it really wasn’t “fine.”
That’s why he backtracked and told his wife that they could just split the meal. He also handed over half of his sushi and tried to explain his perspective on the situation.
But it didn’t really seem like his wife cared that much. She was just annoyed that he felt the need to pause in the first place. So, he only ended up eating half of his dinner and was still really hungry.
“And I can’t imagine asking for half of someone’s food as they are just sitting down to eat, but I also can’t imagine not sharing it,” he vented.
This has left him wondering whether not wanting to share his dinner with his wife was justified or just made him a real jerk.
Do you think his wife was really just “hanging out” with the kids all day or also working hard by caring for them? If your spouse was watching your children and didn’t get to eat, would you be willing to share your food? Or do you understand why he was annoyed?
