During office days my wife gives me food packet every day in the morning so that I can have my lunch at the office. Her view is that it will not only save my lunch expenses and also good for my health problem. Somedays it so happen that I would not have time to take lunch due to various official work. In those days I had to bring back my food packet to home. In case I bring my food back to home then she would become furious. In order to avoid the unpleasant situation at home, if I happened to be outside the office, then I would telephone my colleaque to eat my lunch and I know that person who always waiting for an opportunity to eat my lunch. One day when I went out and told my colleaque to have lunch as I would come only in the evening. That day my wife telephoned my office to find out whether I had my lunch. My colleaque who was eating my lunch at that time told my wife that your husband would come in the evening and he asked me to have his lunch; lunch is very delicious. You can realise and visualise what would have been my position that evening when I reached home without knowing the fact what my colleaque told my wife.

It's good that your wife loves you so much, but remember, you can never fool a woman; you will always get caught! (I say that because I'm a woman). Just joking.
I'm glad to hear that your wife did wake you up to give you dinner. She would not let you go all night with no food when you are a sugar patient. I think that means you are diabetic?
I worry about my husband too and always want to make sure he has good, healthy food to eat.
Your friend at the office doesn't deserve your delicious lunch after getting you in trouble!

Hi, Lady_Justice, I am really happy to read your comments. Women like you only can make the world happy by keeping your husband and children in good health and happiness. After all, all men in the world are the tamed animal of women. If a women decide to do anything, they will achieve their goal. I have seen many women achieved their goal in small way or big way but in a honest way.

a very funny story.. well anyways, i don't prefer having a packed lunch etc.. foods in our canteen is cheap basically because it's subsidized.. i guess if foods here were a bit expensive i would also switch to packed foods...

Hi, subha12, thank you for your comments. I never wanted to skip my lunch. My official work is such sometime I had to go out of office to Government departments relating to my company matters. In most of the time I could not postpone any call received from the Govt departments. A situation and circumstances are such I had skip my lunch.

I make my husband a snack and a lunch every day. He usually works 9-12 hours a day at his job. His co-workers sometimes get jealous, because I always fix his lunch. I personally don't get mad if he brings home things, or if he shares his lunch. Why get mad over that. Maybe he just got full, or didn't have enough time to eat it all. If his friends didn't get lunch, I would be upset if he didn't share it with them. I think your wife is over-reacting a bit. Just my opinion.

Hi, creativedreamweaver, my wife, give first consideration to my health because I am sugar patient. In case I take food outside it will have bad effect on my health. She prepares such a delicious food suitable only to sugar patient. My colleaque to whom I used to give food is also a sugar patient. Others will not eat that is why I share my food with others. If I am in good health, she may not give packet lunch.

I bet you were in trouble more than anything for trying to get one over on her. I sometimes pack my husband a lunch to take to work, most days he just takes a tv dinner he can microwave at work. It is better than the Village Pantry (which is a quickie type of market)food, which sometimes looks a little green.
There is really no other place near where my husband works for him to eat at other than the Village Pantry. I try when I see that he hasn't taken anything for lunch, take him something on his lunch break which is only 30 minutes.

I think that it is great that your wife packs your lunch for you and give you something heathy to eat for lunch. I bet that your office friends enjoyed your lunch as it was nice and fresh, due to your wife getting upset with you not eating your lunch due to no time. Oh dear blabber mouth I bet that you never gave him any more of your lunches after he told your wife unknown to you. Your friend should of told your wife that you had eaten your lunch and not caused you problems.

That was a disaster!but surely if youre going to explained to her why then she may understand it. As for my situation i prefer to eat outside work since i like to eat food that is still hot.

i can relate with your wife navtech :) i also prepare food for my husband everyday of the week. we are only concern with your health as well as the budget... but if there are cases that my husband doesn't get the chance to eat his food i understand it. what i can suggest is that you tell your wife earlier if you have a hectic schedule so that she doesn't have to prepare your food already. if you are just in the office and still you have lots of work, you should take a break to eat your meals. it is not healthy to skip meals. your wife might even get more furious if you tell her that you are not feeling well because you skip lunch.
and lastly, you can show your appreciation to your wife by eating what she prepares for you. you can also request for other recipes if you have the same type of food everyday :)

Hi, gwenmari1029, the problem is I cannot predict when I will go out on official work. My job is such I will be called by the Government department officers to explain things relating to official matters. In that case I did not have the room to tell her when I would go out during the office hours and I myself do not when I would return to office.

well that's very thoughful of your wife! how lucky of you that you got a good one there huh! that's a very thoughful thing she is doing. she is just making sure that there will be no chance for you to get hungry especially when you have something importnat to do in the office. even if you cannot eat proper lucnch in the canteen or in the diner, if you got not time for it because you have something to rush, then at least you have something to get from your pocket and fill you tummy! my mom tells that to my brother to, she ask him to keep a biscuit in his pocket. my father told me he used to do that when he was still working in the mine then and he cant leave the machine because he had to man it everytime!

Hi, aciddrop, I do appreciate your comments but my wife consideration is that I am sugar patient. In case I skip my lunch, she always feel it would affect my health. That is all. In case I am not diebetic patient she would not have given much importance whether I took my lunch or not.

Oh man navtech, I bet your wife was furious! I pack my hubby's lunch everyday too, but he works at a job where he can't leave for lunch, so it usually gets eaten. On the days him and the guys order in and he brings his lunch back home I don't get upset. I look at it as then he can just take it the next day and I don't have to pack another one. I think you need to explain the situation to your wife, and let her know you appreciate that she worries about you but occassionally you just aren't in the situation to be able to eat the food she sent with you.

lol that is funny cause being a wife that worries about her hubby eating is something i do too. when my hubby does jobs that i know he will be gone all day and most of the time outside like cutting trees, tilling, etc i always make him take food if not he wont stop to eat he just keeps working and it drives me nuts. i am scared he will get sick. if i found out that he just gave it away and didnt eat i would be all over him for it unless he had a good reason. you had better start taking that lunch with you when you are going to be out and tell her thank you. lol. be glad that she worries about you it shows she loves you very much alot of couples would not even think about things like that. at least you were trying to spare her feelings though. that or keep your butt out of trouble with her lol. that colleague of your though i would of killed them the next day. lol

It seems to be a little bit extreme to worry about taking the packed lunch home again,if you havent eaten it then just take it home and have it at teatime,I wouldnt worry too much about that at all.Missed lunches happen all of the time,and maybe most of the time it isnt your fault.I am sure that you wife will understand.
