What is a “food divorce” and how can couples use it to avoid dinner arguments?
If you've ever been in a relationship, you've probably gotten stuck in the endless, what do you want to eat? I don't know. What do you feel like? I don't know. You pick.
You
spark something. Someone decide.
I don't want to. I mean, I want Mexican, but not that
Mexican.
Yeah, exactly.
Just tell me what you want then.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. So, Brooke, when you and your husband are stuck in that loop, how do you resolve it?
Uh, we let the kids pick, which means we eat pizza. Yikes.
It's even sadder than I thought. Well, now some couples are solving the issue by going through what's called a food divorce.
What
do you
mean? It's an agreement where each partner will handle their own meals on their own schedules so you don't have to suffer through the stress of planning and cooking and eating together.
Oh.
That's so sad, though. I mean, I could understand it on a busy night, like, you know, every once in a while when people have activities and stuff,
but
not to eat together.
How does a “food divorce” affect relationship satisfaction and what are its downsides?
That's kind of a nice thing
to do, to share food. A relationship therapist says the goal is to take meal choices off the list of daily negotiations that cause a lot of tension and strife and resentment. If
we did this, I would never be able to eat my husband's stir fry that always tastes the same, no matter what he puts in it.
I know. Then what are you going to complain to him
about? I like it because it means I'm not cooking.
Sure. In this case, you don't have to either. One person can get Chipotle while the other gets Taco Bell. And both can be happy. There
you go. And then you pay double the delivery fee. Smart execution. Everybody
wins and it's more popular with couples in the younger generations who are kind of abandoning Traditional meal schedules and aren't into the family style of eating as
much
Potential downside couples who regularly eat together tend to report higher relationship satisfaction So you can skip the shared dinner, but you'll need to replace it with another form of connection like assembling IKEA furniture together
That always goes well.
Whatever bonds you. I hear another good way for couples to bond is to shock each other with a dog shock collar every single night. It's what we do here on the show, and we've never been tighter. So,
Jake,
show us how we bond.
Well, fall is officially here. Whoa. Yay.
What are the rules of the Fall‑Fail game and how do participants keep it fair?
Let's go. Soup season.
That's right. The season of pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters, pretending dead leaves are beautiful because they're kind of orange and crunchy. We
always gave PSL to Alexis, but Jose has been going hard.
He has taken it over this year. Yes. It's the time of year when Americans will happily pay $20 to walk through a field by a rundown old farm, just wondering, is that mud on the bottom of my shoe or something else? Yeah. Ew,
don't smell it. It's natural.
It's magical. And that's why to celebrate the official beginning of autumn, we're doing a special fall fail edition of... Plenty of 20. And today we're doing it a little different. Only Alexis will be answering the questions since her spray tan makes her resemble a ripe pumpkin. Why would you do this to me? So after you hear each question, you'll have to guess if Alexis will get it right or if she'll experience an epic fall fail.
Right each
of you will so let's start with the first one with Brooke guessing Alexis Please turn around in your chair. So the host cannot see your facial
expressions You gotta keep your hands in too, I mean that's part of it I
All right, Brooke, here's your question. Fall signals the time for many North American birds to migrate.
Which direction do North American birds migrate in autumn?
What direction will the birds be traveling in autumn? So now that you've heard it, will Alexis fail at fall? Well,
I think that she will actually succeed at this one because I think it's the same way she would like to migrate. Excuse me, do not
give her any hints. Incredible.
Can I turn around? Yeah,
eventually. All right, so you're saying she's going to get this right, Brooke. Alexis, you can turn around now.
Okay. I think... Excuse me.
There's rules to fall fails here, everybody. Everyone's trying to give hints and be
