I’m sitting here half annoyed half confused how to feel. Here is my situation:

My wife did not work today. Has been hanging with the kids all day. I got home from work at 530 and did a turn and burn to jujitsu class. Dinner was not discussed but since I was getting home at 830 from I assumed I was on my own for dinner.

I get back at 830 absolutely Starving and exhausted. I Had been planning my dinner all day: poor man’s sushi (it’s just canned tuna, rice wrapped in seaweed). I write down everything I eat in a food log and had planned this dinner in advance. I had the exact amount of rice and only two sheets of seaweed. I get home and my wife and kids are in the bathroom taking a bath so I get to work on my sushi. I have the entire thing written down and I’m ready to feast.

I’m giddy with excitement sitting down at the table. All the sudden my wife comes out and into the kitchen and says “can I have half of that? Me and the kids went out for a late lunch and I haven’t eaten”

I pause. Obviously not happy with this news. I don’t want to share but I also acknowledge that hogging down all the food would be selfish.

So she notices the pause and goes “fine I guess I’ll just figure something out” in a pissy tone. I go “no no no we can split it.” And give her half. I go on to explain my situation but I don’t think she cared. She was annoyed that I even paused.

Now I only had half my dinner and am still hungry. I can’t imagine asking for half of someone’s food as they are just sitting down to eat. But I also can’t imagine not sharing it. I can’t decide how to feel.

That’s the story.
