FACTS:
Chris goes out to lunch about twice per week.
He goes out with his coworkers.
I go out to eat (lunch or dinner) about twice per month.
I eat out because we are on a long drive and can't eat at home (90% of the time at a fast food place)
He works about 10 minutes away from me.
I have no car at work.
He has a car.
He never calls to take me to lunch.
He brags about the new places he & his coworkers try.
When we had more money (i.e. before house), we both LOVED to try new restaurants together & went out often.
He just bragged about planning to lunch at the new seafood place this week with his coworkers.
Me=sad. I want to experience these new places with him if he's spending the money.

yuck. Not fair. He should definitely take you out for lunch. Is there a reason he doesn't? Different lunch hours? You spill food all over yourself and embarass him?
I think he's just selfish. We both have pretty flexible lunch hours. He drops me off in the morning & then doesn't like to drive back across town at noon. I'm not saying he has to do it all the time, but once/mo. would be nice.
I haven't even gone into the number of times he goes out for an ice cream break with his coworker. At least he could bring me some. I complained about that last week, so he DID show up with some frozen custard on Saturday after a meeting he'd gone to. I must have been an excellent pouter.
That's definitely a no-no. Tell Mr. Weltek that if he doesn't start shaping up and taking YOU out to dine with him once in a while, he gets NO MORE mower attachments. NO MORE!!! Tell him Nookie said so.
*grumble grumble* You soooooooo deserve to go out for lunch once in a while.
You could always offer to drive him to work so you can keep the car.
Sheesh! You both are trying to get part time jobs to pay off bills and he's going out for lunch twice a week?
Screw him! Talk one of your coworkers into driving to a place for lunch and splurge.
Or? Take the car away from him and make him brown bag it for a month.
And tell him I said so.
Silly boy!
Tell him how much you'd like to meet him him for lunch for a treat once a week (like Thursdays).
As for the money thing, it may be childish but Mr Bob and I each get a certain amount of cash for the month. We used to have seperate bank accounts (which I prefer), but we never got around to it when we moved.
And if he doesn't want to meet for lunch, take the equivalent sum of money and go for a super nice dinner and, uh.. I don't know, invite Bob!
I'll take you to lunch.
I'm right with you! Yes, he should take you with him!
But I like this idea of taking the car and seeing how he likes it. I know - I'm sure you work it that way so that you're not backtracking all over town.
Problem with taking the car? It costs $9/day for me to park here.
I think I might have to declare it lunch date day every payday, no if ands or buts.
"The OT ladies said so" is likely to work, believe it or not.
Even if he were brown bagging it every day, it still sounds nice that you guys should meet for lunch.
Sounds like telling him 'we said so' might be the best bet. (and maybe have a fight and some steamy make-up sex, then post it here?)
I came back to answer your question.
I spend my life getting pissed at something silly. I make mountains out of mole hills every single day.
Definitely not fair. I like the idea of payday dates. Sounds like a good solution.
At Dave's last job there was a cafeteria and he spent a fortune on food while I was scraping together leftovers for my lunch. Sure I could have gone out and bought my lunch but I much prefer to spend my lunch half-hour with my invisible friends so I ate leftovers. Now I drop him off every morning and there's no cafeteria so he's eating leftover too. Somehow that makes me feel better. *grin*
I would be pisst too. Maybe you should call him up for lunch sometime. Don't wait on him to suggest it.
Yup! You need to do something about this. It's totally not fair!
