Default Re: the broken hamburger !!!???!!!

All I can say is that I'd've just eaten it myself, or just given it to the dogs. I like burgers and dogs (not everyday!)...and sometimes cooking goes wrong. The good thing is I get to eat the mistakes! Sheesh.

I grew up with 3 brothers on my mom's secretary's salary. In order to get 2nds, we had to finish 1sts. Not a gobble factory, but we learned to eat.

I'll never have a problem with good food. I HATE wasting food (forget the dang kids in India!!). I finish everything in front of me...if I can't, it goes in the fridge until I can eat it.

I NEVER have problems with leftovers (although I don't cook with that in mind...just what is needed for the current meal).

Over the past several months, I'd've loved that burger! I have my pride, but I also know what it's like to not eat (I hope you all never do know that!). I'd rather eat.

Ah, well...different perspectives I guess.

He may learn something, but it just might not be what you want him to learn.

yes .. you are thinking of it from another perspective as it was not a food issue and we had about a dozen burgers on the grill... no one was starving. You are looking at it as a food and economic issue, which it wasn't.

he learned, he better not start taking me for granted, because
I'm watching him and his actions.
Now that we've been married awhile, it's no reason to be inconsiderate or think I'm going to accept anything nhe might happen to throw my way. I'm not the family dog, I'm his wife, who he is supposed to cherish...
He knows I'm quite the catch, so he better treat me that way.

Well, Preso, we're all colored by our upbringing. Mine was different than most, maybe.

My brothers and I used to go "shopping". Our mom never asked why we always seemed to have food. Either she didn't want to hear the truth or didn't want to know we lied about it. We survived. That's what counted at the time.

I would never think of disrespecting my SO (and never have!)! But I'd never have made that offer, either. I'd've offered a whole burger unless I knew she'd take the broken one. I'd rather have eaten it myself. I'd've appreciated it all the more.

I guess my perspective is that you were not one half notch above the family dog in The Incident of the Broken Hamburger.

I want to ask you though, just how do you treat your husband?

Do you wait on him in this same style you insist upon?

an extraordinarily beautiful woman once confided in me she left her husband because he offered her a 'broken' potato chip.

i've since never looked at a bag of chips the same way.

i've also not looked at an extraordinarily beautiful woman the same way.

sigh

Oh for heaven's sake people. It's obvious that he's henpecked. And she is crowing about it.

I don't see anything in here that shows there is a parity of emotions, or maturity for that matter.

Thus ends the eggselent lesson of the chickens.

Wow, my ex might have lied to me and had some addiction issues, but he would NEVER give me a broken hamburger... it's good to see how bad some people really have it... makes me grateful for what I have

I would be happy if my H offered me anything.. ANYTHING.

If he offered me a broken burger I think I would fall over and die from shock that he thought of me at all....
