What’s On Your Burger?

Let me ask you a very important question. Would your husband know what you like on your burger?

Last week my sweet husband called me and asked me if I would like a burger and tater tots from a local restaurant. I said yes and he went inside to order. The waitress asked him, “What does your wife like on her burger?” He replied that he didn’t know.

The waitress looked at him and asked, “How long you been married?”

My husband says, “34 years next week.”

The waitress replies, “And you don’t know by now what she wants on her burger? I bet your wife knows what you eat on your burger.”

She was right. I do know, so why didn’t he?

What About You?

I decided to post the question on NanaHood’s Facebook page to see if I’m the only woman whose husband is clueless about her burger. What I found was a little surprising and very entertaining.

My Husband Isn’t the Only One

Of the 40 women who responded almost half of them say there husbands wouldn’t know either.

What does that mean, if anything, about men and women and our attention to details? Do women always know more about their spouses preferences than men?

I don’t know. What I do know is some of the comments my NanaHood friends shared are so funny I couldn’t keep from laughing.

And The Survey Said….

Here are some of the comments my readers made….

“You mean he brought something home? Mine doesn’t know how to do that.” – Terri

“We’ve been married 46 years and NO he does not know. I just asked him and he said he would order it w/o anything. I would order with lettuce and tomato, mustard.”-Ann

“We’ve been married almost 40 years he probably knows how I like my burger, but he doesn’t have a clue what to buy me for Christmas!-” Yvonne

“After 46 years of being together and 45 of those married, “no” but he can redeem himself by going by a Mc D’s and buying a carmel frappe. I am addicted and will go without eating for one of these.” – Teresa

“No and he can’t remember how I like my eggs. And instead of anniversaries, he celebrates monthiversaries. But he couldn’t remember my birthday so he had it tattooed it on his wrist.” -Carla

She Said Yes

About half my readers answered yes, that their husband do know. Many of them had been married 20+ years as well.

I think it’s safe to say that it really doesn’t matter if your husband knows how you like your burger or not. There are more imporatant qualities when it comes to marriage.

34 years

This Saturday Bill and I will have been married 34 years and even though he doesn’t know what I like on my burger, I’d marry him all over again. Happy Anniversary sweetheart! You and I were simply meant to be!
