Today I fucked up by asking my pregnant wife if she really wanted to eat that.
My wife is currently 25 weeks pregnant with our first child. I had heard about weird cravings, but the one she had today took the cake. And this is where I fucked up... When I came into the kitchen to see her putting banana slices and the pieces of chicken picked off hot wings on top of a peanut butter sandwich and covering it in honey I blurted, "Babe, are you really sure you want to eat that?" To which she responded, "Well,I DID, but I don't anymore Edward!" before slamming the sandwich on the counter and locking herself in our bedroom. She's been in there for over an hour.
I feel terrible. But really? Hot wing pieces with banana, peanut butter, and honey? That can't be healthy, right? Any advice on what I should do now? Should I grovel?
Comments:
u/Di - Hahaha No, Edward, you should make that damn sandwich and take it to her.
u/MayPTucker - I feel for you man, I do. Cravings are weird. I once made my husband drive around town for three hours looking for a "vendor hotdog" you know... Like the one they make in carts? Well he finally found one, I took one bite and was all "I'm done, you can finish this." Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue, grin and bear it.
u/Rebadams7 - Oh dude. Just let it go. Sometimes it's not that weird it's just inconvenient. Just be cool and remember this won't last. It's not always about the food. Just hand over the anchovies and the ice cream… or peanut butter and pickle relish… it too shall pass
u/edwards-debussy - Lol yep commence with the groveling. And maybe bring the sandwich in as a peace offering :)
u/2old4fanfic - Yes, yes you did FU. Groveling is a good start, and remembering never to comment on your wife's food choices ever again
u/musicdaydreams - I've never been pregnant so I don't understand how cravings work. However, she's growing a human. What momma wants, momma gets, I'd say. Grovel and offer to make her anything she wants to eat.
u/astonmartin823 - My dear boy, for the next 12 weeks just look away when she eats.. and if you need to make midnight runs, don't question just do. Good luck
u/GorGirl - u/Maestro77 - This is nature's way to train you for poopy diapers. Your baby is telling momma what to crave. Bring her the sandwich, apologize, and ask if you can try a bite. It may surprise you. Give her lots of love and affection. She needs to trust that you're a team before delivery.
u/avagurl - Well guess you're doing some groveling and bringing your wife a sandwich.
u/kristysmom - Oh honey just bring her the sandwich and whatever other crazy food she wants
u/EriCastelo - Oh man! Patience, crawl over and make her the sandwich she wants. Fun fact: I didn't have cravings during my pregnancy, but my husband did hehehej one night he woke me up at midnight and asked me if we had canned sausages, because he was craving those sausages with cubed cheese and pineapple salsa... ewww.
u/LilCullen454 - Oh, sir, you have done it now. You need to apologize and do it right. Never argue with a pregnant woman about her cravings! Grovel my friend, grovel... oh, and a pretty present!
u/biblepam - LOL,, your bad,, it was your bad
u/Eternally Addicted - u/Maestro77well first remember she's on hormonal overload. You gotta think before you speak. She may have taken your comment to mean she shouldn't be eating. You know, a pregnant woman can be sensitive about their growing/changing body. Second, remake the sandwich for her and apologize. Talk to her. She knows you love her. It will be ok.
u/princeselisa - Take this as a lesson. Let her eat what she wants. Happy wife, happy life
u/mysticfighter111 - Apologize, tell her you were just taken by surprise by the unique combo, ask her what she feels like eating and bring it to her. If she craves it, her body needs it. You don't have to eat it after all.
u/Zveka - Make this strange sandwich and give it to her
u/NKubie - Oh u/Maestro77, you did FU, but it's not irreparable. Bring her the food, admit you fucked up and maybe praise her for the ability to make a meal that gives her protein, potassium, and energy all in one. ;)
u/mnnlisa - I see lots of groveling for forgiveness in your future.
u/traceybuie - Learn from your fuck up Maestro77. Never question or debate what your wife wants to eat ever again, esp while pregnant. Proceed with the groveling and ask what you can get or put together for her. :)
u/VryUnique - Finish making that sandwich and take it to her. Than run out and get her absolute favorite desert and top it off with a foot rub. It couldn't hurt to throw in the groveling.
u/lillanolivia - Your wife is going to be emotional at times during the pregnancy as well as have weird food cravings. In our house, peanut butter, bananas , and honey is a regular. The chicken is different, but she is pregnant. Get yourself the book, "What to Expect when You are Expecting". That will tell you everything you need to know.
u/KDMCAM - U/Maestro77-now U have To take the sandwich to her And pull off a piece of it off so that you show her you will eat with her and then it's not so gross. You helped create that little bundle of joy she's carrying and that baby wants that sandwich! Make a note to yourself to never say that again! Baby cravings make women crazy! I called and freaked out on the burger king manager because they did not put extra mustard on my cheeseburger when I went to the drive thru & I couldn't go back. You only have 15 more weeks to go!
u/EdwardsFirstKiss - I can't remember any weird cravings while I was pregnant, it has been so long ago. But I DO remember being famished. I normally eat 1/2 hamburger and I ate 2 Burger King Whoppers in one sitting. My husband couldn't believe it. I told him it was like a hunger I had never known. Lol
Make her the sandwich and take it to her with an apology.
u/AnakinSmom - You sweet sweet man. First thing you need to learn about pregnant women is "Keep your mouth shut" unless of course, it is to say "Yes Dear" And yes, you should grovel. Her emotions are all over the place due to the hormones and she needs your reassurance that she is still beautiful, desirable, the love of your life and she is going to be a wonderful mother.
u/clueless - u/Maestro77 - Your wife is 25 weeks pregnant and have you learned nothing? Healthy?Your baby wants sweet, salty and spicy. Are you denying your wife sex if she's h***? You're her husband, not the health police. Men. Yeesh.
u/That'sMzPeachesTYVM - Silly man! Cravings are all about what momma's body and the baby are demanding. Assist her with those crazy cravings, and store up stories to share down the road. lol
u/dowlingnana - LOL, poor first-time daddy Edward. Actually, even though it was all in one sandwich each item was pretty healthy, even if hot wings may give her indigestion. The doctor should have warned you, or at least your mother, ha ha ha. And with her hormones out of control, IMO you really should've known better, ;o)
u/Annie Butts - Eww
u/ChristyWIX - Oh u/Maestro77, you need to keep these thoughts inside you for the duration of the pregnancy, hon. Now you're prepared as she may be craving something entirely different next time.
u/JentheBaker - Poor thing! Lesson learned, Sweetheart…keep it to yourself next time! Just finish the sandwich, take it to her, apologize, and tell she can eat whatever she wants. Good luck!
Notes: You guys still rock! Chapter is a bit late cause I kind of sprung it on my beta last fucking minute lol.
Oh... and reason number two why I am so happy today... I GET TO GO SEE MY TATTOO DRAWING! Not sorry for shouty capping. And for those of you who saw my post about my neurotic ass sending them an email I am sure that is why, because usually you see it the day of, and usually I am fine with that. It's just that this one means so much so I am having a ton of anxiety about it.
