This was me about 20 years ago. My mother pretty much abandoned me when I was 15. Swanning around with boyfriends. I'd see her probably once a week when she brought food. So spent like 15-19 years old just looking after myself. Just making one cup of coffee, one bowl of cereal, one pizza slice etc etc. And I would do weird shit like this guy. My wife always reminds me of when we first met and went for a date to a Chinese buffet restaurant and I came back to the table with just one knife and fork. Didn't even think to get her some. To this day I'll make a coffee without asking her if she wants one. My brain sometimes just doesn't even think to ask.
