Wow, deciding a "broken" hamburger represents a slight in how your husband treats you?
Maybe he by asking you was trying to see if you didn't want perfectly good food go to waste.
Men are not emotionally immature just because they are not a$$kissers.
He might have been testing to see if you were shallow about things like cracked hamburgers or willing to let the trivial go because your eye is on the ball about those mature, important things in life.
Are all things a test of the value one places in the marriage? He does this and it means that?
Emotional maturity, I wonder what that is all about?
I would have taken the broken hambuger and said "thank you." There are many starving people in this world. I gladly take leftovers and leave the "better" pieces for my kids or husband. He and I treat each other as equals, no royal treatment desired nor expected. I can see how little things can explode to much bigger issues.
To each their own, people marry for different reasons and I did not marry for sex or financial reasons. I married for relationship and expect to be treated well.

I have no problem with that reasoning. I just question whether a broken hamburger represents disrespect or a degrading of his treatment of you, especially since he asked you if you wanted it.
I see it as more of him not wanting to waste food and having made a slightly flawed hamburger that was perfectly good to eat.
Your judgment of it as representing negative things is what got me.

to bad you missed the point, my husband sure didn't.
People marry for different reasons, I did not marry to be a taken for granted wife.
Be the last time he offers me anything undesirable, I hope....

I did not marry to be or accept anything other than my partners best. He could have eaten the broken burger himself, but I guess it wasn't good enough for him, so why should it be for me.
Same would go for old clothing he no longer wants, no don't bring it to me... I don't want it either
or anything that is not in good shape. I'm not the local goodwill and I'm not standing in line at the soup kitchen.
This is beginning to sound like one of those jokes. . . What did the priest/rabbi/minister do with the broken hambuger. . . What did Preso's husband do with the broken hamburger? He offered it to his wife; condolences to the widow may be sent in care of Western State Prison . . I suspect that those who have never been treated poorly by a spouse do not "get" this. It isn't about the hamburger, people! Cherish your spouse.
And why didn't anyone ask the obvious queston: why didn't HE just eat it?

You say most men are emotionally immature and you got that worked up over a hamburger...ironic huh?

Proabably wont be the last time he offers something that you think is undersirable. He probably didn't see the burger as a symbol of his love. Most people wouldn't care about a burger that was broken in half.
Pretty careless to put down the goodwill and soup kitchens during an economic crisis and people losing their jobs and houses left and right. Classy...
when a "broken burger" becomes a symbol for someone being wronged in a relationship, it's time to seek professional help. how on earth do you equate being offered a "broken burger" with bad treatment or disrespect. i'm sorry, that's cracked logic. but a nice attempt at demonization. your poor spouse.
