Culture Woman calls out husband after refusing to make him unhealthy meals: ‘He’s being ridiculous’ - Once again, quit postiing reddit articles as news, nothing can top Naruto Lesbian Larper, and that wasn't even a news article


A woman doesn’t want to pass her husband’s eating habits to their daughter and it’s causing the couple to fight.

She explained her situation on Reddit’s “Am I the A******” forum. Her husband only eats takeout, meat, starch and cheese — no whole grains, fruits, vegetables or most seasonings. For the majority of their relationship the wife, who previously had a more nutritious lifestyle, cooked meals based on her husband’s preferences. But after they had a child, she told her husband that she was going to feed her daughter healthy meals. The husband refused to eat the new foods and is now upset he has to cook his own meals.

“I don’t like eating like this, I’ve gained weight and feel out of shape, my body feels awful, whatever,” the woman said. “And I don’t want our daughter to grow up not eating anything healthy and substantial. So I stopped agreeing to fast food and made him only get it for himself and started cooking nice meals again… which he of course hates. I’ve begged him to at least try and find SOMETHING remotely healthy he likes eating it really shouldn’t be that hard. But he refuses. So I told him he can make his own meals if he doesn’t like ours, that I’m tired of eating unhealthy all the time. He accepted it at first, but he’s gradually been getting more upset about it”

The husband complained that it’s not fair that the wife and daughter have nice meals and he doesn’t.

“I told him he’s free to join and what he’s making himself is literally the same things I’d make him anyways,” she explained. “He says it’s not the same and he wants nice healthy meals like ours and it’s not fair that he’s being excluded. I told him unless he’s willing to let me add spices and vegetables to the meals, I literally CAN’T make him nice healthy meals like ours. I think he’s being ridiculous to expect the same type of food we eat without me putting in literally any of the ingredients.”

Reddit users agreed with the wife.

“Your husband is acting like a petulant child,” one person commented.

“What a baby!” another said.

“He should eat the food you make, or continue making his own food,” someone wrote.
What should've been an argument between of them is now known by us. Great.

Modern day journalism.

Personally you should be able to eat whatever you want. But if your partner is being health conscious its rude not to at least try to help with that.

You know what solves a lot of food problems in a family? A bottle of fucking hot sauce, have it your way.

Why can't they alternate between meals like a public school cafeteria? Pizza day, salad day, burger day, potato day, casserole day, etc etc.

It's not like eating is a rare once in a lifetime event, you get 7 chances a week to eat 7 different things. More that 7 even, assuming they don't only eat dinner together.

You would be shocked at how often an abuser will punish themself in order to shame, manipulate, and/or control someone else.

Sick Systems: On Whittling Yourself Away | Issendai.com

One of the questions that came up repeatedly after I wrote Sick Systems: How to Keep Someone With You Forever was, "Don't you have to hurt yourself as much as you hurt the other person to keep a sick system running?" The answer is: YES. You must pare yourself down small--very, very small, smaller even than you thought you could go--to live as the heart of a sick system.

Your system is powered by fear of you, it's true, and being feared can be empowering. But it takes more skill than most people have to keep people close to them with fear alone. You need other people to believe that you need them, that you'd collapse without them. As time goes on, you have to deliver greater jolts of need to get the same amount of care. Occasional well-timed spending sprees become shopping addiction becomes financial ruin. Reluctance to take your meds becomes refusal to take your meds becomes trips to the emergency room becomes hospitalizations.

At the same time, you must watch how thinly you whittle down your supporters. It's no good to let them be too much healthier than you--they'll catch on and leave. But it's no good if they collapse of exhaustion and force you to take care of them. The sweet spot is the point where they're spending slightly more of their resources on you than they can afford. Of course, this pushes them into a slow downward spiral, and unless you have more supporters in the wings to take their place when they fail, you have to reduce your expectations to meet them.

You may think you have standards. You don't. When you start, the two of you struggle to make ends meet on $600 a week, and you refuse to eat frozen steak. Then you have $400 per week, and you'll eat frozen steak but not canned vegetables. Then you have $300, and you'll eat canned vegetables, but you won't go to the food bank or apply for food stamps. At $250 you'll let your partner go to the food bank, but you won't go yourself, and you won't go to the soup kitchen. At $200, you still won't show your face in the soup kitchen, but you'll let your partner bring home food she dumpster-dove as long as she lets you pretend it's from the food bank. You adapt just like your partner does--smaller and smaller, fitting your spiral neatly into hers.

Eventually, your partner's spiral becomes so small that she can't fit into it any longer. She springs out. She's gone. You're alone. You go into a tailspin. Everything you relied on to support you is gone, and decades of self-neglect come flooding in; but just as importantly, you need to go into an extinction burst of neediness before you realize that your old tactics don't work any longer. There's an excellent chance that you'll end up in the hospital, in psychiatric care, or in jail.

If you realize you're the heart of a sick system, don't despair. There are ways out that don't end in involuntary commitment. You'll have to do something hard--in fact, you'll have to do the hardest thing, whatever it is for you, whatever it is you've built your system to avoid. But I guarantee you it's easier than crashing and burning.

He only eats the good stuff... some fruit should maybe be added but thats all.
Most Vegetables just dont taste well and have nothing needed...

I bet the guy would eat fruits, no problem.
 
I learned pretty quickly that he doesn't like ANYTHING that includes anything other than a variation of meat, cheese, and starch (rice, bread, pasta, potatoes).
