My husband insists I make his lunch. Half the time it ends up in the trash because he didn’t feel like eating. I make dinner every night and often he comes home and makes hot pockets or something else out of the freezer instead of eating what I made, or comes home and says he’s ordering food. He wastes soo much money on food, not to mention my time and effort. It makes me so mad. It also sets such a bad example for the kids making them think they don’t have to eat what I make for them.

He’s an adult, make a lunch budget together if needed but other than that let him he what he likes for lunch.

I would explode if I had this problem :persevere: I make my SO’s lunch when he’s working (he comes home for lunch) and he makes mine whenever I can work (stupid covid, schools don’t stay open long enough for me to work, I’m a substitute)

He’s a grown ass man, if he wants his lunch made, he can make it. Obviously he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings but doesn’t want the homemade lunch…

You would love it if someone made you lunch everyday…but clearly that is not his thing. So just stop it and give him the liberty of choice. For God’s sake he is a grown up. I would also get sick of someone always making choices over what I eat. Sometime I just want to have icecream for lunch! Well that’s just me🙂

Stop making him lunches. Or ask him what he wants for lunch. My hubby loves it when I make him lunch. But then one day he requested something else from what I was always making for him. So I decided to always just ask him ahead of time. And sometimes he would tell to not make one coz he’s going to eat out.

Then just stop wasting your time and food.

Call him out on it and make yourself lunches from here on out. Those ain’t his lunches anymore!

Don’t ask us for advise ask him what the problem is with your food!!!

Fast food is an addiction for real… or maybe he’s tired of sandwiches everyday, step it up sis

Really shouldn’t it be his choice to eat what he wants ? is he a toddler… if your just doing it because you think it is your wifely duty and he’s not asking you to. don’t do it I mean it’s that simple :person_shrugging: and you go to his truck to get the dishes?? F@@k that your not a maid and clearly by saying Somedays you dont get a lunch your not equal in your relationship. don’t do what one would not do for you. but thats my opinion.

Make him something else. A more filling food, or just let him buy his lunch

Why bother making lunches. Stop making it. Instead give him money. Easy. Whoa or talk to him what he wants and not want to eat. Best change husband. Or stay single so good with out them. My best opinion stop making it. Dont worry too much about it.life so much better in othetside. Just enjoy your life. Hes a big boy. If he complain you not making it, tell him this, im not going to waste my time for this kind of shit! Make it yourself. You shoudnt be making it anyway. Hes an adult he can make it. Or buy what he does. Have a beautifull life lady.

Stop making his lunch. Make yours. When he asks why tell him straight up that until he stops eating fast food than you are not making him anything. Dinner included. If he doesn’t eat at home that is on him. But set him up a lunch account and tell him he can spend this much only and the other account is for bills and food you would be happy to start making him when he apologizes and stops eating fast food. Also make sure if he does apologize that you remove his lunch money.

Stop making him lunch. He is a grown man so let him take ownership of what he puts in his mouth.

You have some serious control issues

Maybe you just make a shitty tasting lunch :thinking: either way, if he doesn’t appreciate it , stop doing it. He brings in $300-400 a day , $10 on fast food is nothing

He’s grown. If he’d rather eat fast food then why are you making lunches? Stop treating him like a child. Ask him what he prefers and let him eat the way he wants.

As someone who also makes her husbands lunch, I would stop doing it if he was throwing it out. I make it for him the night before because I stay up much later than he does and he gets up early enough as it is. He is always appreciative.

He’s your husband, not your child. He can decide for himself what he wants to eat. Stop making him a lunch and work on your communication with him.

I’m sorry BUT why aren’t you asking your husband this? Apparently there is a communication issue. Neither of you say anything to the other about what you want? He doesn’t tell you he doesn’t want you to make his lunch and you don’t ask him why he throws it away.

Speak up!!

Okay, wait a minute … are you mad because he throws it away or because he doesn’t eat the lunch you give him or because he spends money on fast food??
I mean, either the lunch you prepare for him is not good, he doesn’t like it … I don’t know if you cook something different every day or what but… I’ll say, just ask him what he wants!!! Lol
Something so simple jajaj
I cook 5 days a week, I put my husband’s lunch together and sometimes he brings it back and I’m like … “great, you will take that and eat it tomorrow” and we are both happy about it :sweat_smile:
Some days he goes to work without lunch. He never complains :blush::blush:
Also, there’s absolutely no way I’ll ever have my husband on a budget for lunch… he works his ass off 6 days a week so he can buy and spend his money on whatever he wants except bitches … :rofl:

I would never force another grown adult to eat something. If he wants to buy lunch and goes to work, let him. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Stop making lunches. You’re doing this to yourself.
Tell him he’s ungrateful & move on. Or ask him why don’t you eat it?
Also right down how much he’s spending on Fast food. Then make it clear You’re done wasting money on junk.
Fast food for lunch can be $70-100 a week or paycheck.

My ex was like this! Then complain to his mom that I wasn’t making food.
In reality, we were both trying to lose weight and he just wasn’t on board.

Everyone is throwing shade about “forcing” him to eat, but 1. You likely care about his health and 2. You likely love in services, meaning the fact you make him lunch and he discards it is making you feel neglected and hurt.

The fact you two don’t communicate about something simple as a lunch is maybe what you need to worry about.

My fella throws food I cook cause he thinks I poison it just find it degrading when I’ve spent time cooking for us & the kids from now on he can cook his own shit

I would just quit making his lunch. If he asks why… explain and ask him what the purpose is when he don’t eat them anyways. But don’t let it get under your skin no more. Life is too precious and short.

I say pick your battles. He’s grown and if he wants to eat fast food over a packed lunch then I say don’t argue and let him be.

Stop making his lunches. Hes a big boy. Communicate how much waste it is. But stop making his damn lunches. Its a waste of your time, money and energy

You could also try showing him on paper just how much he is spending going out to eat. It adds up fast and some don’t even realize until it’s written out.

Maybe try asking him what he would like you to put in his lunch. There are tons of options and maybe he wants to choose. :blush:

Firstly, he makes money so he can spend it. Secondly, maybe try a schedule of days he can eat fast food if every day bothers you. Thirdly, stop making his ungrateful ass sandwiches :joy::woman_shrugging:

I wouldn’t make him anything! And give him a budget fir his lunches. Fuck that noise. Lol

Why keep making his lunch if you know he’s not eating it? That’s a huge waste in food and your time. If this is the worse thing he ever does, be thankful and move on. This is literally a non issue.

Its not that serious. Dont make him lunch. He is a grown mab and can eat what he wants when he wants it. If your struggling financially talk to him about that. Maybe compromise. Fast food twice a week or something. It is addictive once u start eating crap food lol

Did u ask him if he wanted? Discuss with him.

Is this really an issue that people need to come to Facebook for? I thought things like this were common sense.
Tell your husband how you’re feeling and if that doesn’t help, simply stop making his lunch for him :woman_shrugging:t3:. He’s an adult. If he is still paying his side of the bills and not going totally broke on fast food, then there isn’t really a problem is there? Y’all need to stop trying to straight up control your husbands and wives. They are people. Not your robots to control.
