The fastest way to someones heart can often be through their stomach.
But as much as we all lovefood, it can be an emotional topic as well.
And it can quickly become a source of tension between couples.
One womanreached outto Reddit detailing an argument she recently had with her husband over the lunch that he wasted.
I had been reading AITA only recently and was fascinated by how people crowdsourced feedback, the author said.
When the situation went down, I found myself genuinely wondering if I was overreacting.
We also asked No_Sherbert_7460 if her husband understood how upset taking her food made her prior to this incident.
So knowing how the other person sees something helps you understand why they are reacting.
But thankfully, the couple has been able to clear this jam.
And his response now is Yes, I know that you are saving that.
I wont touch it.
So far, it has worked.
But I have to be very deliberate about it and not say it in passing.
Finally, we asked the OP what she thought of the replies to her post.
I was not expecting that many.
It is not about a control issue on his part.
He truly is unaware half the time.
That pretty much describes how his brain is so different than mine, the author shared.
No_Sherbert_7460 also found it interesting how many commenters couldnt understand why a married couple might have separatefood.
Heres the deal we do not like the same things.
If I really want it, I ask first.
That is just courtesy.
I wouldnt take his car without asking first, why would I assume anything different with his food?
A husband might ask his wife what she wants, and shell respond that she doesnt care.
Unfortunately, it is common for tension to arise between couples when they discuss food.
To find out more about this, we got in touch with UK-basedRelationship CoachJane Parker.
