When your wife is in a time of her month where she is not required to fast, why would you burden her by waking her up for suhoor and Fajr when Allah has already excused her? Mera wala tou normal days mein bhi khudi granola bana ke kha leta chup chaap. My husband also eats by himself during normal days.”
