Another woman makes my husband dinner every night to bring to him at work. My hubs work with her son, and when she brings her son dinner, she also brings my husband dinner. I didn’t mind it at first, but the plates went from being smooshed to being perfect placement on a plate. I also didn’t let it bother me because we already discussed this. It’s not a secret, and I get to eat the plates because he Doesn’t like Mexican food but loves the sentiment. This isn’t me trying to ruin a good thing for myself getting homemade meals by a woman who can really cook, but in the back of my head, all I can think is. “Is she gonna slip into our relationship?” Would you let another woman bring you man dinners?
Yes, it wouldn’t bother me as long as he was upfront about it. I wouldn’t think anything of it. Your husband has been upfront with you about it. Possibly a cultural thing.
As a man who has been in a lot of relationships with ‘the jealous type’…
There is literally never a reason to be jealous/worried…if a relationship is strong you weather that stuff ez. if it’s not strong…you should work on that part, not the jealousy stuff.
I understand the OP isn’t actually jealous but this is the word I’m using.
I will presume that, since he works with her son, he has something to do with how she gets the food to her son or he could stop it or…something.
in hispanic/latin culture, food is just what ppl do. one of my ex’s her mother was born in Mexico and before I came over, my gf was like “you can tell her no…she will try to kill you by stuffing u until you pop. just tell her no when ur done.” lol
I used to work at the front desk of an office and women would always drop off a lil something for me on their way back. It seemed more like it was a toll. you know like a tip like 'here, don’t say nothing.
At the end of the day, if your man is yours. then he’s yours. Esp if he knows you know about this woman…literally that would be the dumbest idea possible. "hey babe, this woman feeds me all the time and i know you know exactly who she is and that this situation makes you look at her harder…so now i’m going to try to ‘sneak’ around with her…? it just don’t add up.
also…you can tell them no and they don’t care, they’ll bring you the plate anyway. lol enjoy your free meals. I miss my daily home-made Mexican, home cooked meals.

Since she is bringing her son’s dinner - maybe she just loves to cook and makes too much.

I can’t cook, but I say yes ESPECIALLY because i’d be the one eating the meals lol. I’d ask her upfront if she needed ‘anything in repayment’ and let her know I exist and we have a happy marriage though. I’d even mention I eat the meals myself because he doesn’t care for the type.

My MIL always packs extra food for my FIL and husband (they work together), for those co-workers who don’t bring lunch.
Us Mexicans love to share our food. 
One of their co-workers is Black, and he sends back homemade cornbread as a thank you. I always get dibs on it. Lol

I have packed food for my hubby’s co-workers when I have had a ton left over. I don’t see anything wrong with it. Plus you don’t have to do it. Lol
When my husband would work at night, I would send dinner to whoever was working with him, not because I had something for the coworker but because it’s what feels right. I don’t know if it’s a Hispanic thing but it’s normal for us to send food to coworkers, etc. We love to feed people.

All your husband needs to say is thank you for the food but my wife packs me lunch. It’s too much food. Something along those lines.
As far as cooking for someone. I would almost say it’s a courtesy and respect thing for some. If her son works with your husband. Sometimes it’s rude to not pack and extra lunch. Especially in the Hispanic culture. My husband is South Indian and his co-workers wife’s will send extra food for him most times. It’s just a cultural thing. She most likely doesn’t mean anything by it but ultimately your husband can respectfully put an end to it. Problem solved.
Depends! Is she a nice mum or a NICE mum 
Sounds harmless but if it’s starting to bother you say something

I’m secure enough to be ok with it. My man may be eating her meatloaf, but he’s coming home to me for everything else.
I would mind. Honestly because you’re married and another woman should not be bringing him food. As your husband, he should politely decline the food. Also, is there a reason you don’t cook for him…? Or you do and just didn’t mention that part.

Depends. As a female that works with men and has done this. I can see your concern. But most of the time it is just innocent. I’d ask. I personally squash things like this early on. If you dont voice it how will you know? His reaction should tell you all. And I work with a lot of Hispanic women. They LOVE to cook. They LOVE to feed people. My coworkers bring me food when they feed some of the guys too. The people they respect most in a work environment typically will get a plate of food. It’s their beautiful nature.

If I’m sending food for my man I’m sending food for his coworkers, 
when I managed I used to bring food in for my employees.
I have a big ass family and don’t know how to cook for two people so if I don’t send food for an army we eat leftovers for a full week
Sis just eat the food and suck your man’s dick it ain’t that hard to keep a husband 
If it’s just the two of them working, I think she’s doing it to be kind. If there are more people she’s not giving food too, I’d be suspicious but I’d implore my husband to pet said woman know “my wife loves your food!” And leave it at that

There is a line limit you have to draw in co workers female and males together. Yes if she is bringing for all the coworkers not just for the husband and her son it needs to be shared with everyone if it is a small group but oh girl makes a habit of it then she is missing something in her life and looking for it in your husband. I am dealing with the situation where the female co worker is calling my husband everyday and even a couple of times a day and chatting as if he is her husband I tell my husband he is in the wrong for allowing her to do that he wouldn’t like a man to call me and chat all the time

If it’s a Hispanic woman, this is culture and it’s manners. You never bring a single plate when you know there are more to feed. But if you have some insecurities, you could include a sweet handwritten and signed (by you) thank you letter with a dessert to send with him for her for feeding him. Food is better than a gift because it’s most likely she is also partnered and bringing anything other than food might bring the same feelings from her partner at home.

My wife always made an extra lunch for my buddy at work if we had extra leftovers. I mentioned that he was always jealous of my lunches and that he always had to head out and spend money on lunches often, even when cash was tight for him. But when my lunches are leftover deer steaks and mashed potatoes, or moose pot roast, who could blame anyone for that! If shes happy doing it, whats the bother?? And by the way, i do at least 90% of the cooking at home. And not because my wife doesnt have the ability or time to. Shes a great cook, and she works at home. I work 8-530 monday to friday. I choose to cook because i love to, and its a great way to unwind and make the mental shift from work mode to home mode

My husband used to have me make a plate for his co-workers during tax time. No one seemed bothered by it
Yes. She cooks for her son and brings it to him & to be polite she brings a plate to whom works with her son. Some women love to cook and by cooking & feeding others it makes them feel good. Do not take offense. She may just be ole school. I would do it for my son and have and I always brought some for whom ever was there with him.

My thought is maybe the woman’s love language is food. If she’s bringing her son food and extra for your husband,I don’t see harm in it. I just think it’s a nice gesture rather then anything happening. Especially if she’s Hispanic. My friends grandma sends me with plates for days if it was just her making food for your husband only you might have a problem.

But ya typically She find a new recipe and that’s how she wanted to share through my husband. My husband told her my wife reads all my text and messages. So if you don’t want her to know don’t tell me. Second off she wants the recipe. She has a few She thinks you would like too. 3rd she answers my phone if I am not awake. She knew I was very present in his life. But if it bothers you tell your husband.

She’s being polite. I feel the same way. When I cook or bake some bomb ass shit for my husband I send enough for all his coworkers… why? Because I’m a bomb ass cook and I wanna share with EVERYONE, not my husband. It makes me feel good as a person and as a wife. If my husbands coworkers wives got jealous or mad at me for it I’d say I was just being polite because my husband sitting there eating this bomb ass food in front of your husbands is RUDE
Also, back during my senior year we had a friend that worked at the corner store and some of us would literally just sit there at the corner store and hang out with him and his mom would bring us ALL full plates of dinner and that’s probably where I got the idea from I’ve always been a cook but that’s a great way to be polite, show off your skills, and just do something nice for strangers. It doesn’t mean there attraction there. If you loved to cook, maybe you would understand.
If you have to ask this question there is something wrong. Id trust my partner 100% if ever hinted at something else he would shut it down.
