Do you share your glass and spoon when eating?

I have eaten off the same spoon and plate my husband was using. I also have drank after him. Or if I'm eating something I want him to taste he eats off my spoon. But really bothers me is my kids won't eat after each other but will a friend. That is gross.

My husband and I have done that on occasion but not very often because we usually have our own cup, plate and silverware. We do share our food with each other though. I will share a spoon if I have to but most times we both have our own to use.

Well, I have a husband, not a boyfriend, but I don't think that matters in this question. We have used the same fork or spoon, like you say. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, after all if he has any germs you are already sharing them when you kiss each other. I have also used the same glass as my husband, again what does it matter. If we are sharing the same food, for example sharing a plate of french fries at a restaurant, we will use seperate forks because then we can both eat it at the same time.

I share food and utensils with my hubby sometimes. I have also shared food with my mother in law (not utensils though). I would never feel comfortable sharing with strangers.

I used to get upset and couldn't eat anymore if someone else touched my plate and ate say a chip. Now I'm easier on that but uncomfortable at home. I am a traveller though to Gambia mainly but in all my african travels I always join in communal eating from one bowl. They do this as family or working groups and I'd say formed out of poverty and of culture. A strong bond is formed with those you eat with. It is a unique and wonderful experience as a westerner. For me I wouldn't do this at home with an english friend. But in africa I seem to get overwhelmed by the friends I have made and can easily eat with my hand in the bowl full of rice beef and peanut sauce along with sometimes a dozen other right hands. All in the name of appreciating my fellow men across the globe and the diversity.
