  • Doesn't sound very "loving" to me; especially since she DOESN'T work! Even if you were routinely late or untimely, she could STILL keep dinner "warm" for you in the oven! I may be from the 'ole school, but love. . . .is LOVE!
  • Keep in mind that while she might not bring in any income, she's still taking care of the household and the children (if they aren't going to school). Parenting is a big job. However, there's no excuse for disregarding one's spouse. If it bothers him, you should tell him to talk to her about it. Problems will never be solved if they aren't discussed.
  • Not a very good one. I could see once in a while that they would do that but being that she does not work she should be able to have something for you to eat and be able to keep it warm, that is not asking a lot.
  • I can see both sides, you cant expect her to make everyone wait to eat until 8:00 at night, however she could make him a plate and leave it in the oven(is it possible he doesnt want the food after it has been sitting there awhile and that is why she tells him to get his own food), and talk to him while he eats.
  • You allowed it to happen. First time she did it to me I would have voiced my disapproval. They dont have to wait for you everyday but, She can warm it up for you and sit with you.
  • Let me guess. She's your daughter in-law. Am I right? If he's coming home straight from work at 7:30, the man deserves a home cooked meal. On the other hand, if he's been hanging out at the bar for a couple hours, I understand why she'd tell him to pick something up on his way home.
  • It is called marriage.It is not love.And most of the marriages are not based on love.They begin with love and end up like that!Sad!
  • well sorry im not a man but you cant force your kids and wife to eat that late. depending on the age children should be in bed around 8/9 and they shouldnt go to bed on a full stomach. yes ok she could cook for you and then warm it up for you later but my partner hates microwaved food and would prefer to cook himself and not expect others to do everything for him!
  • He could ask her to feed the kids and tell her he'd prefer her to wait for him so the 2 of them could eat together. I think that's very reasonable and better for the marriage. Eating together is an activity that most couples enjoy. When my fiance works late, I always wait. I can't imagine eating dinner without him. I just think he needs to let her know how much it would mean to him.
  • well lets just say that it sends a message to the spouse that his efforts are all in vain. Its not a happy household lets put it that way/
  • Really you cant expect the kids to wait until 7:30...thats pretty late for them. But she could eat with you....its only a big deal, if its a big deal to you.... although I would feed the kids, its too late at 7:30 for them to just be starting dinner, they should be getting homework done, and getting ready for bed.
