Hypothetical food situation: you be the judge

For the love of all things reheated and leftover, let me emphasize that the following situation is only a fictional account and doesn't represent actual facts <cough>.

Let's say that a husband and wife go to a restaurant, where both are served way more food than they can eat in one sitting. The husband asks for a to-go box, but the wife declares in the company of witnesses who clearly hear her that she isn't taking any of hers home because she doesn't want her leftovers. With the wife's explicit permission and blessing, the husband adds the wife's leftovers to his to-go box.

A couple of days later, the husband finds the to-go box and pops it in the microwave with the intent to consume the entirety of its mingled contents. The wife takes note of what is happening, and also being hungry stakes a claim on a portion of the leftovers that is equal to or exceeding the portion that she declined to bring home.



What's the call?

Eat all of it. Man law reigns supreme.

Edit: I've been in the same situation, and I ate it all. She lost all entitlement to the food as soon as she noted she'd rather it be thrown away than saved for future eating. Not to mention that I paid for the meal in the first place.

lol, depends on what is more important to you, left over or being whined at for at least a week.

I give my wife 24hrs on leftovers after which they will be consumed by either myself or the blackhole that is my sons belly without warning.

Let her have some leftovers, but make sure you go over what she did while she's eating it. For fun :)

He who paid for the food and heats the food gets all the food.

He could let her have some, but only after she begs the alpha male and rolls into a submissive position.

This is the only logical reaction.

Only if your "logic" incorporates never getting laid again.

nothing punches to the face can't fix

you have much to learn... thats like telling her no. you cant expect to be happy and also explain logical stuff to her at the same time. the correct answer is to give her the food, as well as making her a drink. take it from a single man after 14 yrs of marriage that didnt give her the leftovers.

I'd make a big deal out of it (jokingly), then just give her portion to her. But hold her to it so in the future if she says she doesn't want it to go, then she officially relieves ownership of it, and you're gonna champ it all out.

Give her as much as she wants and eat something else.....with a smile.

It's all fun and games until she decides to saw off your Johnson in the middle of the night.

I would share with her, but let it be known that she has no claim; I'm simply sharing out of the kindness of my heart and her promise of a blowjob later.

ftw.

Or the suggestion of "punch her in the face". I could go either way with this one.
