Here's how it happens with my husband and me in similar situations. He would agree with you 100 percent. When he orders an appetizer and everyone else declines; it is his and his alone.

So when he orders a single appetizer and everyone else declines, I know from experience what is going to happen. So I order a couple of extra appetizers to have a variety and to allow sharing. It has happened many times with us. I love to watch people eat and enjoy themselves. It just seems so warm, secure and social to me to share food and break bread together. (I know, I know. If they wanted it they could order it. But I don't want to eat in front of people who aren't eating.)

It is something in me. Good or bad, I can't stand to think someone is hungry. I am the person who keeps heaping food on guests' plates and cooking way more than we need. I suppose it come from having seven brothers and sisters.
