A man's thoughtful act of saving persimmons for his wife's enjoyment backfired when she desired his share despite not liking them ripe. The story highlights the differences in preferences and the importance of communication in a relationship.
It’s natural to have a few conflicts with your spouse, but resolving them is the key to a happy relationship. The poster bought persimmons as his wife loves fruit, but she likes the fuyu type, while he prefers the hachiya type. He kept his share aside to ripen, and when his wife finished hers, he got more for her from the market, which she ate, but then she wanted his share.
He refused as he had been saving them, but this upset her even though she didn’t really like them ripe, who is a lover of fruits. He makes sure that he has their house stocked with all kinds of fruits for her to enjoy. That sounds so sweet, doesn’t it? but they both prefer different types of persimmons. While his wife prefers the firm fuyu type, he likes the ripe hachiya type, which is soft and has the consistency of pudding. After he bought them, he kept aside his share to ripen them into the way he enjoyed. It has been that hachiya persimmons can take a few days to a couple of weeks to ripen, depending on the variety and environmental conditions. Meanwhile, as his wife enjoyed the fuyu type, so she immediately devoured hers, and he went to buy some more for her. Well, she finished them, too, but apparently, she was not satiated even after consuming her share. After patiently waiting for them to ripen, the poster finally started his share and offered her a bite, but she instead said that she would take a whole fruit, and he was taken aback. He immediately said no, as they were his, and he had put in the effort and patience for them to ripen—which she didn’t even like. However, the missus was as he had always designated food as his, while she felt that anyone should be able to eat what they wanted to. The poster didn’t agree with this as he had always let her have her share, considered her, and made sure she had what she liked around. Many folks felt that this was very generous of him, and they completely took his side after the story went viral
