Picky Eater Husband Demands Fancier Meals


So like does this guy want his wife to make two dinners every night or something? Seems like if he doesn't want to do any cooking, he might have to learn how to grit through the pain and learn how to eat a vegetable. It's dietary drama like this that harkens back to this uncle who couldn't handle a vegan meal at a wedding and demanded a meat one.

Not the A-hole So, I'll preface by saying me and my husband have vastly different tastes in basically everything. For the most part it doesn't matter, but we clash heavily when it comes to food. Before we met, I basically never ate out, drank nothing but water and unsweet tea (with the occasional juice) and ate mostly vegetarian, always pretty healthy meals. W

I tried to at least have healthy lunches or choose healthier options when eating out, which was still regularly. Eventually we had a daughter, and now that she's getting old enough to eat with us, I'm pretty much done with how we eat. I don't like eating like this, I've gained weight and feel out of shape, my body feels awful, whatever. And I don't want our

Font - He accepted it at first, but he's gradually been getting more upset about it. He says it's not fair that we have these nice meals and he's stuck eating crap. I told him he's free to join, and what he's making himself is literally the same things I'd make him anyways (minus some "fancier" things), and that I'd be willing to still make some of the fancier ones just not so often. But he says its not the same and he wants nice healthy meals like ours and it's not fair that he's being excluded

His real complaint is that he's "being excluded," which I suspect is actually a combination of resentment at having to cook for himself and resentment that you are implicitly teaching your kid that the way he eats is bad. Like, look at what you wrote. He was only okay with things when you completely adopted his way of cooking: even you making yourself healthy sides "bothered" him to the point where you stopped doing it. You've give

In that case, it's okay for you to try to expand his palate, but kids are notoriously stubborn and picky eaters, and while that can be frustrating, you can't just let him go without food...as a small child, he depends on you to feed him, and it is borderline abusive not to prepare meals for him that he will eat. Oh wait, what's that, this is a grown

Font - pdnim7 Partassipant [1] 18 hours ago NTA. A person's diet is by choice. If your husband feels excluded, then he needs to eat what you prepare in order to be included. Alternatively, he can learn how to cook "fancy" and serve himself if he doesn't like what's put on the table.
