[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what the problem is. It’s clear he does work lunches with colleagues and is happy with that. You could do the same, meet a friend, or enjoy leftovers. Go out to eat together on weekends. [/quote]

This. My DH used to complain about this back when I worked in person, but eating lunch out has always been part of my workday routine since I started making enough money to justify it. If it was a budgeting/money thing I would have been happy to stop, but I could afford it without it impacting our joint savings/budget in any way, and I liked it. I wasn't always going to restaurants, often it was just a salad from Chopt or a burrito bowl or something, but going out for food and then eating somewhere other than my office was part of how I maintained good mental health at work.

He had to get over it. Now we both work from home a couple days a week and mostly eat at home (not leftovers but simple meals at home) and he's started treating himself to lunch out on his in-office days once or twice a week. He could also not if he preferred. But I'm not going to deny myself something I look forward to and enjoy, and can afford, just because he wants to deny himself. It makes no sense.[/quote] What do you do with your left overs?[/quote]
