I've noted a pattern of feeding in my partner when we eat out. Her eyes are "bigger" than her stomach and will always order more than she can eat. If I say something about being full or stuffed, she'll get her meal to go. If I finish first, and don't say anything, she'll offer the rest of her meal with me.
I tested my theory yesterday, since we spent all day out shopping. Three meals, Lunch, Dinner, and a very late/early Breakfast. Each time I made an effort to finish first. And each time, I was offered her leftover. I could have refused, or only eaten a couple bites, but it felt like a being fed fantasy. More so on that last meal when we both ordered large plates and I was STUFFED! And she ordered a pie to go.
