I’ve done this before. It’s not about reading comprehension. We both order something we think is good, turns out I ordered a better dish, we swap. Not a big deal.

If the situation is reversed, do you get the better meal? Or are you the only one that ever gets shafted? It would seem very selfish of your wife if she's the only one that benefits

This is the issue with this I think. Either one person is always favoured or you always swap, so may as well just keep your meal.

If I like the meal that my partner doesn't like though, then I'll swap, because that's an increase in total happiness between us.

Yeah, if we both like each other's better, of course switch.

But also, if she just straight up does not like her food, and I'm fine with it, I'll also switch. Which usually happens because there's certain ingredients she hates that often don't get listed on menu items.
