My wife, Starla, is in her bulking phase so we’re spending way more than $400 a month on food/supplements
To go with the theme when I was a little kid (elementary school or so) my friend Keith had a brother in high school and he got us all calling Keith a “cool nickname” - Queef.
Well it matters because weight lost due to that kind of diet isn’t normally sustainable once you get off the diet.
No. It’s a valid concern. Apparently there’s a transition phase. You don’t just stop the diet cold turkey. Your transition to not so many meal replacements. And long term just learn to eat healthy instead of diets consisting of fast food and Alfredo. (Women love pasta and carbs) Just proud of her for getting healthy. I overcame addiction and alcoholism. This is her journey to take. Not mine.
Just got into a disagreement with the wife because she is mad that I don’t do meals the way she does. We split our groceries and meals, and it is supposed to be a week on, week off. She starts on a Monday and ends on a Monday. I start on Monday and end on Sunday. She is mad that I don’t do it “her way.” Wrong? Always doing an extra day? We event back and forth on it, and surprise, she is stubborn and won’t say she is wrong.
Typed this all on my phone, pissed, right before dinner and it doesn't make much sense. TL/DR version is the wife wants me to get groceries and cook for 8 days, but calls it a week, and when I tell her that isn't a week, she stops speaking to me.
Has your wife been reading the most popular bodybuilding post in history? https://forum.bodybuilding.com/show...e0214ab2&p=167242971&viewfull=1#post167242971
Update: made delicious dinner. Sex is back on the table. Still think a week is 7 days, but not telling her. Appreciate the thoughts and prayers.
My wife and I used to alternate going to the grocery store and doing the meal planning for the week and have separate bank accounts, so I guess we technically did. But we eventually learned that life is best if I handle everything food related
It's probably a reasonable one. Better than bickering every night when everyone's tired and hungry right?
Nights I work late she makes dinner or grabs takeout. 3 nights a week I don’t work late I cook. Seems like a pretty decent deal honestly. When I go to the store Monday I normally buy a few things for her to make so she doesn’t have to go to the store either.
If the meals are an issue as a couple you need to just move on, it’s the easiest thing to plan. And it’s fun
They do plan. They just have one person shop and then cook them one week then the other the next The person who does groceries gets to plan/buy/cook and the other gets to relax. But they alternate. Sounds great honestly
Yes, if it works smoothly. That’s my point. That operation should go smoothly, if not that relationship might not be ideal
It has worked pretty well for close to 15 years. She just complained that I wasn't doing enough days, and I told her she was just always doing one too many.
I mean if she’s doing Monday to Monday, by default wouldn’t you be doing Tuesday-Sunday? Meaning for 15 years your wife cooked 8 days a week and you cooked 6
Look, she's completely wrong about the amount of days in a week, but for 8 years you got away with doing less work. So team your wife here.
Won’t get bagels cut in half at bagel shop because apparently they go stale faster that way. Comes home and does this… Spoiler
