The DoorDash Test That Determines If Your Partner Actually Cares About You, According To A Happily Married Wife
Ground Picture | Shutterstock On our quest for love, we’re likely to encounter some false starts: people with whom we think we’re meant to be but who end up letting us down. Luckily, according to a happily married wife, there’s a foolproof way to know if the person you’re dating is someone you should build a future with, and it's as simple as placing a DoorDash order.
We spend most of our lives looking for The One, searching for the person who makes us laugh, who holds us when we cry, the person who just gets us. There’s no better feeling than being truly, fully seen by someone else. But in the quest for love, there are never guarantees. Even when things seem to be going well, it's natural to question if the person you're dating cares as much about you as you care about them. But maybe, just maybe, this DoorDash test can give you some peace of mind even if it's all in good fun.
A happily married wife said the DoorDash test can determine if your partner really cares about you.
Some couples compare birth charts to see if their stars are aligned. Others rely on their chosen love languages to know if they’re well-matched. Yet people who have high emotional intelligence do one specific thing: They order DoorDash.
As one hungry woman explained, her husband “cracked the code” to understand her deepest desires.
She told a tale as old as time, one that couples everywhere can relate to: Her husband came home from work, decided to order takeout, and then asked her what she wanted to eat.
Yet the woman had already eaten, so she wasn’t actually hungry, which is where her story gets complicated. She said that she didn’t want him to order her any food.

Her husband kept insisting that she order something. She kept refusing, telling him, “I’m good, babe, I promise, I’m good, I’m fine.” When a person tells you how they feel, it's best to take what they say at face value. If someone says they're fine, they're probably fine, unless they're actually hungry.
There are endless compatibility tests to discover your soulmate, but the DoorDash test is the gold standard.
20 minutes later, the doorbell rang. DoorDash showed up, and the woman questioned all of her life choices. “His food, of course, smells delicious,” she said. “The regret sits in my soul, and I don’t say a thing because I made my bed, I need to lie in it.”
The next move her husband made proved that he was her soulmate, in the earthly realm and beyond. The first thing he pulled out from the DoorDash bag was a burrito that he ordered, just for her.

“I know what ‘I’m fine’ means,” her husband explained. “It means, ‘I’m gonna be hungry when my food gets here,’ and ‘No, I’m okay,’ means ‘Just a bean and cheese burrito.’ It always means ‘A bean and cheese burrito.’”
“He’s not wrong,” the woman declared.
Most times in life, it’s easiest to say exactly what we mean to get our needs met.
Taking people at their word is a valuable practice, one that eliminates the guessing game and opens up a direct line of expressing what you want. No one is a mind reader, and relying on a passive-aggressive style of communication just leads to misunderstanding and heartache.
But those rules don't apply when you’ve already eaten dinner, and your partner is planning to order takeout. In fact, when in doubt, always order something for whoever you're with, even if they're just a friend. If they don't eat it, you've got a little treat for later!
So, the next time you’re scrolling DoorDash, deciding what you want to eat, don’t forget to add a little something extra for the loved one who said they weren't hungry, when really, you know, deep down, they’re always hungry. We will eat your fries...
