Husband throws out Stew While his Wife is at work!

Yes it is sad and very hurtful to her as it was not burnt and she had spent the day making it in between other chores on her only day off in a six day work week!! I too am fortunate as my husband would not do this and congratulations on your marriage also :) ~Heavens~

Well Carmetaf, I think that it is Lynda who buys the Groceries as we work in a grocery store and I have seen her purchasing items for dinner etc... However, the huge thing for me here is the time she took on her only day off to prepare this and he accuses her of burning it when it was not burnt and is clearly unappreciative of her and her efforts!!!! ~Heavens~

Welcome to My Lot Also!! ~Heavens~

YES - the time and love thrown to waste is terrible. It was an incredibly insensitive thing he had done. I can see refusing to eat it, and having semi-hurt feelings. But to deprive her of something she enjoys and made...sucks big time :(

I have no idea gabs...It just makes me shake my head! She was so looking forward to the leftover stew and here he threw it all out!!! Very discouraging :( ~Heavens~

Oh Pye, you've put a smile on my face here ;) But seriously, Lynda was telling that his Mom had been over for dinner the previous night and had eaten the stew and wondered why she was getting out the chicken....When Lynda told her the reason, Her MIL said "but there is all of this Stew here and there is nothing wrong with it!" Now I don't know this woman but Lynda was telling me that her MIL is one to ALWAYS speak her mind and so you know that there was nothing wrong with the stew!!! I think that he is just heartless and spiteful and I am glad that I am not married to him! :) Thanks ever so much Pye for some comedic relief here! HUGS ~Heavens~

Yes, I am sad for Lynda as well... I am glad that you rule your kitchen :) I do hope he appreciates your cooking! ~Heavens~

to be fair on him my husband wont eat few things and when I cook that i make sure I make something for him and the rest he loves. I dont mess with the garage and he dosnt mess with my kitchen :)

That's great! :) HUGS ~Heavens~

Me too gemini_rose...He seems like a very selfish man to me!!! ~Heavens~

Sorry but what needs to be said here is that everyone enjoyed the stew but him and it was a huge stock pot that she made and they only had one meal out of it!! She was so looking forward to having it again that night when she got home from work and he had thrown out the whole huge pot which was definitely not burnt!! What would you think in this situation? ~Heavens~

I agree - my husband would be fending for himself for a while or I would just make things he doesn't like. My husband is not the biggest chicken fan so you could could bet that I would by chicken in bulk and have a chicken marathon of dinners. He should be happy she makes him anything at all and be grateful.

I agree Abby0210 he should be grateful and Welcome to My Lot! :) ~Heavens~

I would have killed mine too especially since he threw out the rest...I feel bad for Lynda and wonder what she ate for dinner that night when she got home from work!?! It is sooooo inexcusable! ~Heavens~

Well I don't know but she did say something about him finding somewhere else to sleep that night! I don't blame her! ~Heavens~

You know what, I think I likely would have cried also! ~Heavens~

I would have been angry too if it had been my Hubby! The story you have shared here just goes to show how pathetic our society can be these days!! Thanks for sharing :) ~Heavens~

I'm so glad that you are enjoying it here Kim :) HUGS ~Heavens~

Thanks so much Kim and welcome to My Lot! I do hope you are enjoying yourself here :) ~Heavens~

Thanks for the welcome. I have just started using myLot, so I am enjoying all of the discussions that are on here.

First of all, welcome to My Lot above31rubies and I do hope that you are enjoying yourself here! :) As for me, I'm with you and if this were my husband I certainly wouldn't be treating him to anything! I'm the one that does the shopping and so he would not have his favorite cereals, meals, snacks or treats...He would have nothing LOL as I truly find this to be the height of rudeness especially when you have been together and married for many years as this woman has...she is old enough to be my Mother and so this man is sooooo unacceptable!!!! My husband and have been together for eight years (Including our courtship) and I would hope he would never stoop to this as I even think that I might leave him or at least know that I would be very upset and unable to sleep in the same bed with the man! Sorry I have gone on here but I was shocked when she told me this and still am that a man would do this! ~Heavens~

I certainly am enjoying myLot and thank you very much for the welcome!! :)

You're very welcome above31rubies :) Have an excellent day! ~Heavens~

Yes Terry, I think it was very foolish of him! I grew up on a farm and I am so glad that my husband would not waste food like this! He also wouldn't want to disappoint me :) ~Heavens~

I know I don't like wasting food either...I wasn't brought up that way! Welcome to My Lot :) ~Heavens~

Now that's disgraceful, unnecessary, and wasteful!! Not to mention hurtful and unfair to you..... So sorry that you and your children endured this type of behavior! :( You should have insisted that he cook although I know that doesn't work with my husband in that I enlist him to help with dishes and cleaning and yet it never gets accomplished unless I do it!! I could leave it for a week or two and it would still be there piling up to the ceiling and we both work out side the home so he should be helping but that is cause for another discussion!! ~Heavens~

Yes well she was working until 10PM but I agree to making him fend for himself...It was so heartless and selfish! ~Heavens~

My Dad would not do this either and neither would my husband.... I feel so sorry for Lynda! Take Care chrissieatu and enjoy your time here at My Lot :) ~Heavens~
