We love our husbands. At one point in time, romance was overwhelming as our man swept us off our feet and lifted us up into the stratosphere of love. But after spending every night together for a decade or two, sharing dinners, and watching whatever sport is on at the moment, your husband can become like a semi-romantic roommate who never picks up his socks. But still, even when they get on our last nerve, we still love that bumbling man, so ladies, take notes on this woman's approach to handling her and her husband's differences using jelly... Like literal grape jelly.

This loving wife makes her husband's lunch every single day without fail. He looks forward to his Welch's grape jelly and his Skippy smooth peanut butter every day—yet, some days, the sandwich is not quite the same.

Some days, the PB&J is made with love; other days, it's made with off-brand jelly and stale bread.

    This isn't anything crazy; just something funny that I want to tell people about but can't risk getting caught.

    My husband (30m) and I (30f) have been together for 8 years. For the past couple of years I make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everyday to take to work. I use Welch's grape concord jelly- this is important for later.

    Everyday he tells me that I make the best sandwiches and I just say "I make it with love." However, when we're fighting he always says he can taste the difference in his PBNJ, and I say "because I made it with hate." But the truth is,

    he can taste the hate in his sandwich because when we fight, I use organic, sugar free grape jam. It's in the back of the fridge and he's never seen it, so it's what I use to convince him that he can't make me

    PrincessPindy . I love this. Married 43 years. My husband is obsessive. I would make the mini blinds just a little askew and uneven just before he would get home. I would then sit on the couch when I heard his car and wait.

    It was inevitable that he would walk in, look at me, look over at the window and walk directly over, and fix the blinds before coming over to give me a kiss. It always delighted me. He just saw how happy I was that he was home.

    Puzzleheaded_A... So it turns out hate is sugar free, AND organic. The insidious nature of healthy eating finally rears its ugly head.

    IHateSpam1999 Love this! My wife makes my lunch most days. She always makes her own and she says it's just as easy to make 2 salads as it is one. She feels good knowing that I eat healthier because she takes such great care of me.

    That said, I would never make her so mad that she would put chunks of tofu instead of chicken in my salad.

    CoderJoe1 I can imagine asking your hubby, "How's your marriage?" "It's going Grape!"

    ElSoMaLu I love this idea. There's no harm except the taste. Good work! Maybe I'll steal the idea. ;)

    ashatteredteacup Wives around the world relating to 'it's at the back of the fridge and he's never seen it'. Mine remembers the tools in his toolbox but can't find the mayonnaise 20cm from him at the side of the fridge.

    tonsil_bruiser This reminds me of the woman that got ped off at her husband a poured water on the floor in front of the dishwasher so the husband had to spend all day trying to fix it. Just like her, you are an evil f...ing b...h. AND just like her, I think I love you.
