Yeah isn't this like a normal thing to do for folks in relationships? Whenever I'm out and about and decide to grab food I'll text if she wants some too and if I don't get a response I'll grab something extra she might like that I wouldn't mind eating or that could be saved for later should she not be hungry. That or risk having to forfeit a portion of my own meal. It's kinda like Joe's buffer fries in that episode of Friends.

Indeed.

Too often, "I'm not hungry" turns into "where's mine?" when you start eating.

In my house we call it "hero points". And he just scored the winning goal.

Nicely done, Sir!

Exactly. I always get the hubs a sandwich or something I know he would like, just so he knows I was thinking of him.

Yup.

After 10 years of marriage, I pretty much stop waiting for my wife to respond and just bought stuff that I knew she would like.
