Instead of complaining to yourself that he is selfish for cooking food and not making you any... are you communicating with him?
Have you said ,"hey honey, when you make dinner, make some extra for me in case I might want some."?
If not, he might very well think "well, I want to eat, make enough for one, or else extras might go bad"
I used to have this same problem. My wife would stop by taco bell and buy food for her and the kids. Then she would buy food for me. And set it out. I HATE this.. because she doesn't call to ask if I want something and if so.. what is it? I would not normally care, but sometimes, that type of food isn't really good reheated hours later if I had just eaten.
But I learned eventually that she doesn't think with her head, so she does stuff like that which I consider stupid. To her, I *guess* it means she is being thoughtful.
That being said. I prefer a call like this.. "hey I'm at taco bell, do you want something?" To me.. this would be best. Food isn't wasted.. if I'm hungry I'm happy.. and she would be thoughtful and be happy.
Nope. She doesn't like that. I think it makes her feel more like a servant or something, rather than being purely thoughtful.
It beats me. I gave up trying to figure her out.. but I prefer wasting money on cold soggy burritos than never getting melons at night.....
So I just buy an extra burger at mcD. Even if I think it's dumb.
