I just have to get this out I'm so pissed about it even though in the grand scheme I know it's not a huge deal. Fiance wants me to make his lunches so he can save money. I worked my butt off last night and made him two very yummy very healthy steak and veggie enchiladas. I told him to take one of them to work since they were so big. So I call him to see how they are and he says he is at a business lunch so he spent money at that. So I said bring them home you can have them for dinner. He says he can't he left them in the hot car so they are not good. I said ok well you have the other one at home right. no he took both of them. I am pissed because I buy the grocery's and he just wasted my money and all the time it took me to cook them, just to take both with him like I told him not too and just leaves them in the car so he can't even eat them later. This is all after he asks me to make his lunches so he can eat better and save money. I didn't reply because I was so mad about it I knew I would just overreact. So I came here to vent to you guys and ask..............any lunch suggestions that can sit in the car and still be fine, because he won't be getting anything he can waste for a long time. Thanks for the vent and any suggestions you have.
aahhhh feeling better already, glad I didnt' get amp at him.

I am editing this for people that haven't read it yet. The reason I make his lunch is because he hates making food and he does a chore for me that I hate to do, so it's a compromise. Just don't want people thinking I just up and pack his lunch for him. Still, wasting it was not part of the agreement

    Nothing sits well in a hot car but a Biotch slap.Give him one and hope the stupid falls out.

    He needs to realize the efforts you put forth mean more than money wasted.

    Maybe give him one more chance. Possibly, since he's not used to bagging it. I do think apologies are in order, though.

    I'd give him a chance to not waste money, as well as your time and thoughtfulness. But if he does it again, you know what doesn't spoil in a car? A box of cereal. Send his *kitten* to work with some Cheerios and watch how fast he appreciates the nice meals you fix him.

    hehe...this.

    My first thought was wow, he is a fool.

    Secondly, sounds like he needs a cooler with a nice pack.

    My suggestions is he should make his own lunches. He's not in elementary school.

    If it was me............he'd be on his own with making his lunch from now on LOL! But that's just me.

    I can totally understand giving him one more chance.....and packing it in a container that keeps things cold.

    And why can't he make his own lunches?! Even children can do that.

    So... he made a mistake? Is this the first time he has done something like this? If so, why not cut him some slack... everyone makes mistakes.

    Communication is important. Calmly explain that you were upset that all the time and money was wasted. Give him a chance to apologize and once he's more aware of the situation and your feelings regarding it, the likelihood of a repeat is reduced.

    Unless you are a stay at home ...fiance, he should make his own lunch. My wife stays home and I still usually make my own. That said, it is possible he forgot, but it's still really messed up that he forgot with such a nice lunch. There are days we get to work and discover we need to go out for a business lunch. If my wife does make me lunch on one of those days, I keep my mouth shut and leave it in the office fridge for an extra day.

    -piece of bread
    -unopened can of tuna
    -another piece of bread
    -can opener
    -note with a middle finger

    I'm a guy, but I would have a very low tolerance for that.

    Or... husband and wife lunch making hour before bed. The wife and I make our own lunches the night before so we can sleep longer. That and we don't forget to make lunch and have to buy something the next day or not have time to make it in the morning. And it's quality time which is the "winning" part of the whole deal.


    God help me I just used winning.

    I'm with the brony, cut him a little slack but do explain to him why you're angry. Men are stupid sometimes regarding women's feelings. Perhaps he really has no idea what he did. :)

    I wouldn't make his lunch anymore, honestly.

    The only times my fiance and I eat the same meals are on the weekends. We each have a separate food budget. I got sick of him being so picky and wasteful. Maybe things will change once I'm not in school and have more time for meal planning, but I don't have time for nonsense like this. This story right here reminds me of something my fiance would do :explode:

    I know, right?! Who broke his thumbs?

    But seriously, I don't blame you for being pissed, because flat out, he *asked* you to make him lunch. HE asked YOU. I mean, it's not a dealbreaker in your relationship or anything, but still - I was serious before - he should get one more chance, and if he botches it again, he's on his own for lunches.
