![My [26m] wife [25f] and I are newly married, and we have lived together for a year. We get along well, and I can count on one hand how many times we've actually argued about something consequential (obviously excluding joke arguments).](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAI=)

Not only is it incredibly hurtful for her to throw away her husband's homecooked meals instead of eating them, it's absolutely disrespectful and wasteful resourcefully and financially to throw it out! I mean, who does that? It's really extreme. Why didn't she just tell him she's not eating it and prefers to eat at restaurants? She's causing a lot of drama that didn't need to happen.

I can't believe this woman. It's such a gift to have someone cook for you, and everyone knows that for many people cooking is their love language. I remember growing up and my dad loved cooking so much, I could tell how much he appreciated his food. Though he might not have been the most expressive with words, his love language was definitely cooking for others. If I didn't eat every single last bite he would come up to me with sad eyes asking, “You didn't like it?” Everyone should appreciate the efforts to cook for others.

Wife keeps throwing out husband’s meal prepped lunches, he refuses to continue making them for her, causing marital tension: “What I did wasn’t a big deal”
Welcome internet ladies, gentlemen, children, adolescents, and whoever else you are. When you're young and in love, you dream about your wedding day with your one and only. Through years of good times and few bad times, the laughs, the cries, the vulnerability and emotional connection, you can never prepare for the hard times after marriage. Once you're married and have sealed the deal, things could change. They change not only because of immense time passing, but because you're living together now, you have to talk through everything, and it can be tiresome.
In the story below, the couple is in their mid 20s. The husband and protagonist says he got really into meal prepping after high school, and it's become a ritual for him. He has his set meals he enjoys, and actually loves the whole process. He, of course, makes packed lunches for his wife with his meal prepping. To his surprise, she comes home one day raving about a nearby restaurant to her work. He assumes she'll eat the prepped meal the next day. Then he discovers something upsetting, that she's been throwing away his homecooked food.
