She Stopped Making Her Husband Lunch Because His Work Wife Kept Bringing Him Food, So He Called Her Petty
This 27-year-old woman and her husband, who is 34, have been married for three years and were together for four years before that. But, a new coworker at his job is only now starting to cause some issues in their relationship.
For some context, her husband recently received a promotion, which caused him to be transferred to a different department. And in his new role, he began interacting with a young female colleague – who’s 24-years-old.
“I dislike her and have from the start,” she said.
Why, you might be wondering? Well, every single time she goes to her husband’s office, his coworker makes sure to refer to him as her “work husband.”
“Or she will do simple things, such as making him food or giving him extra tight hugs,” she revealed.
Still, nothing made her angrier than what occurred last week – when her husband returned home from work one evening.
Earlier that same day, she had prepared him a nice lunch. Yet, upon getting back home, she realized his lunch bag was still full of the food she made.
Then, when she asked her husband why he didn’t eat his lunch, he admitted that his female coworker had also made him food – and he claimed that he didn’t want to seem “rude” by wasting it.
“I woke up at 6 a.m. just to make him his favorite food,” she explained.

Plus, ever since that first incident, the same thing has been happening every day – with her husband eating his “work wife’s” food instead of the lunch she prepares him. And it’s starting to get super frustrating.
That’s why, just yesterday, she finally decided that she was finished and opted to stop making her husband lunch altogether.
Then, when her husband walked downstairs in the morning and asked where his lunch was, she claimed that she was no longer making him any since the food was going to waste anyway.
This caused a big argument between them, too, and her husband kept accusing her of acting petty over a “little thing.”
“I tried to discuss how I felt, and he went over it,” she vented.
So now, in the wake of their fight, she’s not sure if refusing to make any more lunches for her husband after his work wife kept making him food was justified or not.
How would you feel if your spouse had someone at work who behaved toward them like that? Do you think her husband is being disrespectful?
