A woman named Tracy Howell is at the center of one of the most absurd debates on Twitter in the last week, at least. Howell posted on Facebook about her husband, Clifford, who she has been married to for 41 years.
In it, she says she has “made his lunch every working day since day 1.” She also used to go to his job site and have lunch with him occasionally, and something he said stuck with her:
He made the comment once that lunch tasted better when you share it with someone you love . Soon after that, while fixing his sandwich one night, I took a bite out of it before putting it away. When he got home (long before cell phones) he commented that someone took a bite out of his sandwich. I told him that since I couldn’t join him for lunch, I took a bite so he knew I was joining him. I continue to do this frequently (unless it’s tuna or pimento cheese) and he still says, ‘saw you joined me for lunch today and it sure was good’
Then she shared a photo of a sandwich in a baggie with a bite taken out of it:
The post made it to Twitter, where user @oriyomclovinnn screenshot it and seemed to be both making fun of it and wishing they were in this deep with someone:

There is a lot of debate in the comments is doing something like this is cute or ridiculous. Some people wish they had this in their lives, or someone who did whatever the equivalent of biting a sandwich is in their lives. Other people say, “Don’t touch my sandwich.”
I mean, I understand the sentiment of it all but…. pic.twitter.com/rWwlNvYzna

You’re actually right. She has been performing classical conditioning on him and didn’t realize it😂

Howell doesn’t care about anyone’s opinions, and she’s heard a lot of them because her original Facebook post was shared over 93k times. The Daily Mail reports she shared an updated post to clarify more on the whole thing.
“The only thought that comes to my mind when I fix his lunch and ‘take a bite of his sandwich’ is how much I love him,” she explained. “About as much thought as he puts into a phone call in the middle of the day when he tells me ‘he just needs to hear my voice’ or a little note we leave for each other here and there from time to time.”
She continued, “We probably tell each other a dozen times a day that we love each other.”
All right, now she’s just showing off. I’m gonna go eat my full sandwich and log off.
