    Men are allowed to like cute things too, and it takes a lot of effort to make food cute. I’m sure he appreciates the love and work she puts into meals for him

    Heck, I’m middle-aged and still enjoy making cute lunches for myself

    49 year old dude here, skilled labor job, gruff, grungy, rough around the edges, etc. etc.

    I would fucking love these. I’d show every single one of them off to my coworkers and talk about how damn cool they are. This is spousery at its finest.

    Anyone who sees something wrong with this is just a jealous, insecure asshole.

      Anyone on the jobsite making fun of this lunch is just jealous they don’t have someone that special in their life making it for them. That said if you’re showing off your lunch every single day and always bragging how great it is you will end up eating alone and the others will get sick of it. It eventually reaches a “yea we get it she loves you and its a great lunch, but we just don’t care, let us eat our hot dogs and monster in peace.”

    I was getting gas this morning. A guy in front of me in line bought 2 slim jims, a string cheese, an energy drink, some pringles, and 2 meat sticks from the counter container thing. The guy behind the counter dropped the meat stick on the counter and the guy grabbed it and started eating it anyway.

    This is what comes of some men left to their own devices. If she wants to make him lunch, let her do it.

      Some men will definitely do a lot better than that on their own, and some women will do way worse. I’ve seen women who get too lazy to cook and their dinner literally becomes cigarettes and beer or wine. And then they wonder why their mental health struggles are difficult, when the most effort they’ll put into a healthy meal is… Peel banana.

      But how spouses split responsibilities is no one’s business. Fucking losers trying to demean a dude for having a wife that cares that he eats well.

    I’m a crusty old fuck, but anyone poking fun in poor spirit at a love symbol would not enjoy the crust I would end up rubbing into their nose.

    Some shit, I genuinely believe a knuckle sandwich is the appropriate response. Not an ss whupping, just one solid pop to the snout. This is in that category. Anyone could tink whatever they wanted, but as soon as they opened their mouth to show what a moron they are, a single punch should be legally justified use of force. Falls under fighting words imo; never shit on someone’s spouse showing love

    In the tip-top of goals, as long as it goes both ways; I love making meals for my dearest ones. 🥰 It almost seems selfish, how good it feels, but then I see how much more they cherish it.

    I say, make the world a happier place, however you’re inspired to. Do what speaks to you, and share that wonderment with the world, a continent, a city, a community, or even just let it fuel you forward! 💚

    p.s. Ignore the haters. Inevitably, they’ll either change or fade away. Regardless, not your monkey. 🖖🏼
