Husband's Reaction to Wife Burning Dinner Takes Internet by Surprise

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you may have turned your attention to what makes or can break a relationship.

One couple has taken the Internet by storm after one of them opened up on social media about their relationship and how it works.

"I was cooking our dinner and I accidentally burned the pork burgers. I didn't mean to but I got distracted. I felt so defeated trying to open windows up to get some smoke out and my husband walked in the kitchen. He walked over and kissed me on the forehead and told me that he appreciates me cooking dinner for him every night," the Reddit user, who goes by u/kelstay207 on the platform, wrote.

"He told me that we can scrape the burned part off, no harm no foul, and he was so excited to eat the dinner I made. I burst into tears."

"He's the most loving, caring and kind human I know, and the little things like tonight just make me so happy to have him. I grew up with a mom that blew up about everything and my husband heals that part of me that feels like I can't do anything right. He's truly my favorite person," the Reddit user added.

Fellow users reacting to the post have shared their glee at the couple and their state of domestic bliss.

"I'm so used to seeing abusive stories in here that I, too, was expecting it to go another way. Pleasantly surprised that the clickbait title hid a happy story instead," one user wrote.

Another user added: "I'm so happy for you."

A third user commented: "The sensation I get from my hubby doing the same for me is incredible. The fact that you have him makes me very happy."

Since it was shared on the social media platform on February 6, the Reddit post has been upvoted by more than 8,700 users and commented on more than 300 times. The majority of users applauded the Redditor's husband for turning a blind eye to the dinner mishap.

Sejginha Williams-Abaku is a licensed marriage and family therapist, offering support at Personal Life Wellness Marriage and Family Therapy to people in New York and Connecticut. Williams-Abaku told Newsweek that there are many ways in which people can spot whether they're in a healthy and secure relationship.

"Firstly, you have difficult conversations. The conversations that hurt couples the most are the ones they do not have. Holding things in increases negative emotions towards your partner and your relationship, leading to resentment and heated arguments, which are more challenging to repair," Williams-Abaku said.

Secondly, she said: "You both initiate relationship repair after arguments. Mutual commitment to resolution shows that both parties have an equal investment in making the relationship work and a shared dedication to its health and longevity."

"And third, you are each other's primary source of comfort when experiencing stressful or challenging times. Turning to each other for solace demonstrates unwavering trust and reliance in times of distress," she said.

Other green flags according to the therapist include making decisions as a family unit and genuinely enjoying each other's company.

"Operating as a cohesive team fosters a sense of unity and mutual respect within the relationship," Williams-Abaku said.
