SUGAR:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is great.\u00a0 Where was this when I needed the guide for my dearest one?\u00a0 I recall one Lenten season when I announced that I was giving up chocolate for 40 days & nights\u2026.my husband\u2019s first response\u2026.\u201dWhat\u2019s your back up plan?\u201d<\/p>\n

SPICE<\/strong>:\u00a0 GRRRRRRR, that\u2019s just not right!\u00a0 Correct answer?\u00a0 \u201cWhat an amazing sacrifice that is for you, sweetheart!\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a case study for you, which happened right here, yesterday!\u00a0 Pay attention, y\u2019all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Girlfriend of Spice opens fridge at work and pulls out lunch which boyfriend had packed for her.\u00a0 She opens it and is upset that it\u2019s a VERY small portion of last night\u2019s meal.\u00a0 Discussion ensued about how she\u2019s on Weight Watchers and that he probably was \u201ctrying to help.\u201d\u00a0 All women within earshot agreed that \u201ctrying to help\u201d is a major partner mistake.\u00a0 \u201c<\/p>\n

What should he have done?<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0Pack her a portion identical it his.<\/p>\n

B.\u00a0 Pack her a salad and carrot sticks instead?<\/p>\n

C.\u00a0 Lovingly tell her that during her diet, he will let her make her own lunch so that he doesn\u2019t screw it up.\u00a0 And offer to take on some other chore for her since he\u2019s no longer doing that one. And ask her if there is anything he can buy for her?\u00a0 Cashmere sweater, perhaps?<\/p>\n

Correct answer:\u00a0 C<\/p>\n
