Why You HAVE to Buy What Your Pregnant Wife Craves

About 6 years ago, this story happened. My friend who started at the company the same year as me got married first.... His wife got pregnant and started heading straight home from work every day. Before that, we'd leave work together, drink frequently, and have a blast, but when he suddenly did that, I felt lonely without my friend. Then one day, that friend managed to get a pass from his wife saying he could go drink after work if he'd been good to her. It was a pass where he had to be home by 10 PM, so we couldn't go to the entertainment district and had to drink near the company, but that friend was so damn happy. So the time for our plans came and we drank our hearts out at a dalgalbi restaurant. But wait, was it because it was been-a-while liberation drinking or something? That bastard was absolutely going wild, right? He started drinking all excited, and it was clear that in a little bit he'd be passed out and heading home. So we kept drinking even though 10 PM was still far away, and this guy with a slurred tongue was going full crazy demanding we fill the time until 10 PM somehow, so we went to a second place and drank beer too. Then that idiot became unable to even respond, so it looked like he wouldn't be able to get home, so I supported him and walked him all the way to his place. Until we arrived at his apartment, I was probably thinking in the elevator about how to apologize less to his wife, what to say. And when we actually arrived and I was handing my friend over, what his wife said wasn't something worrying about her drunk husband who couldn't respond.... It was just one thing: 'Where's the sundae???' In that moment, I felt 'That bastard is now impossible to leave the house, so he's screwed,' and I was like, "Ah well, ma'am, I got him drunk so I should buy you some ใ ใ " and left. But wait, it's been forever since he drank and he got all excited and ran wild on his own, so what's my crime, really..... So I ended up going into a sundae soup place I'd passed by many times before. Since it was close to 10 PM, when I entered as they were about to close, I could see the ajummas busily cleaning saying "We're closed~" Should I just leave as is? But I was also a bit drunk! I don't know where else to find a sundae place! So I let out one big shot: "My wife is pregnant and... when I got home from work she said she wants to eat sundae......." In that moment, I could feel the air in the shop freezing. Even the ajumma doing dishes. The ajumma wiping tables... they all stopped what they were doing and looked at me!!!!!!!! The ajumma who'd told me the shop was closed said "Oh dear, your wife is pregnant and you're just drinking and coming home?" and went to the fridge and took out sundae..... She took out the steamer she'd already washed, put it back on the fire and started heating it..... For a long time like that, I just looked at my phone waiting for the sundae to warm up...... And when she gave me the sundae.... "Anyway, once it's steamed you can't put it back, and I'm thinking of it as a loss, so just take it all" and she sliced up an entire sundae intestine and gave it all to me.... It was crazy much...... I mean, I only ordered one serving of sundae but that was an amount where 2 people would get full and have leftovers. So me, who was still a bachelor back then, was able to hand over an insanely large amount of sundae to my friend's wife nearly an hour later using a wife and a kid in the belly that didn't even exist. My friend bastard was already passed out anyway.....
Currently I've moved up from my hometown to Gyeonggi Province... and I only contact that friend occasionally, and we drink when we meet because of work.... But weirdly, whenever I say I'm going out to meet him, that friend gets a drinking free pass..... That day I realized that pregnancy-related food is a cheat code for many women...

That's so thoughtful lol
This is like that story where your friend's wife becomes your wife lol
lmao my husband learned this the hard way when I was pregnant and wanted pickles at 3am ๐ he now understands the assignment
My mom didn't even like blood sausage, but suddenly craved the glutinous kind and bugged my dad to get it late at night, and she said it was so good. Now both my mom and I love it lol My dad was working overtime at the factory every day and was exhausted, but he still bought it for her on the way home from work. My mom told me about it.
lmaooo my sister wanted raw tuna and my brother-in-law wouldn't let her eat it, so she asked me to secretly buy it for her, and I snitched to mom lol My niece starts elementary school next year and my sister STILL brings up that incident lmaooo
Pregnant women shouldn't eat raw fish because it's dangerous, that's what doctors say
Can't even use medication when sick, which is the biggest issue. And in rare cases, bacteria can go directly to the fetus. Not letting her eat it was absolutely the right call lol Sister, you can't feed that to a pregnant gamer girl either.
Sweet that he handled it well lol
Morning sickness made her not eat other things... I don't really remember what it was
Pregnancy really does make you crave random stuff. My mom craved potatoes when I was in the womb, and my wife ate a ton of fatty stuff like tripe and intestines when she was pregnant lol
lolol it's realโnot buying it haunts you for life, and buying it even when it's hard also haunts you for life lollol My grandpa still gets nagged by my grandma for not buying her short ribs when she was pregnant, even after seeing his grandkids lolol
Those older ladies, it's like something bad will happen if you don't deliver lol
My mom still brings up the peaches she couldn't eat when she was pregnant. Sure, it was hard to find peaches back then, but the memory's so vivid she brings it up decades later
This is actually facts though, my wife craved the weirdest stuff and I just learned to say yes and ask questions later
Not everything needs to be a 'have to' situation... communicate like adults? Just saying ๐คท
Why is this even controversial ๐ pregnancy cravings are real and honestly if my partner won't get me ice cream at midnight we're breaking up
Plot twist: the real craving is for emotional support, the food is just an excuse to see if you actually care lol
