that ain't gaslighting, that's just food witchery, some good ol' headology as Granny Weatherwax would say
incomplete without this comment
8 years living with a fridge
never looks in the back
Meanwhile the husband is gaslighting her into thinking she's his wife when she's really just become his mother with benefits
Why the fuck are you making your adult husband lunch every day?
Presumably your wife can actually make a sandwich, would look at the back of the fridge once in 8 years, and notice the difference between a spread that's 50 percent sugar and one that's 0 percent added sugar, though
I don’t think 30 year olds should act or eat like this. They deserve a lot better.
Maybe the sandwich is only mentioned as part of the meal and there are some veggies involved?

Look, Americans have very specific dietary needs, like hummingbirds. Without a regular meal of bread that's 50% corn syrup by mass and covered in thickened fruit juice with extra corn syrup and a little bit of fat and protein to further amplify the effects, they cannot sustain the exertion of pushing their lifted SUVs along Fred Flintstone style on their way to and from work. The average American burns over 20,000 calories on their typical 4 hour daily commute and the entire food economy is oriented around supporting this activity.
Peanut butter on one slice, grape jelly on the other, brocoli in between.
If you’re packing a PB&J for later, you need peanut butter on both slices and jelly in the middle. Peanut butter insulates so it doesn’t get soggy and fall apart.
Depends on the brand of jelly or jam. I like strawberry preserves which tend to be thicker and will stay between the peanut butter just fine. There’s more watery jelly that gets stuck in clumps and that’s harder to spread and more likely to fall out.
his wife makes him PB&J for work lunch?
is he 8 years old?
That’s the most concerning part of this post, what adult eats PB&J for a real meal? I can understand it as a “there’s literally no other food in the house” thing occasionally but damn. Am*ricans really do eat the unhealthiest shit by choice
A PBJ sandwich is vegan and is probably healthier than what a large majority of Americans eat for lunch.
Pbandjs are fucking great, shut the fuck up.
It’s not a real meal no but still
i do make one for myself often enough for work lunch, using this peanut butter and a smallish amount of blackberry preserves. i guess it's not a quinoa bowl or some shit but it's cheap and it works for the unpaid 30m break that i get.
a lot of people certainly eat junk especially for work lunch. hell I bet most do. and I've seen posts before in the same literal configuration: adult husband wants/expects adult wife to
- make his lunch
- it's a PB&J
- made with the most sugar-loaded, ultra sweet, industrial brands
this is what tired parents make little kids because they know the child will eat it and not complain.
so I've seen it before, but I refuse to let it pass without comment.
it's making me insane that he says "you make the best PB&J" with the industrial ingredients! like wtf. is she cutting them into dinosaur shapes? including a little note to remind him to share the enclosed famous amos cookies with friends?
Same energy as saying “I make the best ramen” when it’s instant noodles with an egg thrown in. My heart goes out to all the grown ass people with such limited culinary experiences they’re that easily impressed. Just use fresh ingredients to make things from scratch with your partner, it’s a blast! The heavily processed ready made slop is only needed when you dump all the responsibility on one person
with your partner
Absolutely not, no, get out of the kitchen, I'm running this shit like I'm head chef, sous chef, line cook and dishwasher of a Ramsey restaurant all rolled into one.
My sorta-partner likes it when I cut her sandwiches into triangles.
American food really is grim, there's better quality fruit and veg at a 7/11 than your average US supermarket
Right?
It's funny as hell but imagine if they directed the energy they spend on this into improving communication in their relationship instead.
"We have communication jam in our relationship."
""Communication breakdowns are so hard to deal with..."
"What? No, I'm saying that we have communication jam."
Lol exactly my thoughts. The "better" jam is associated with the fight.
real pbj head
