When your spouse buys the cheap stuff but eats the good stuff

[Anonymous]

You are married to a selfish, inconsiderate person, OP. Deal with it. Tell him this is impacting how you feel about him

In our family there is no my or your food. You buy and make everything for everyone. BUT we also don’t buy crappy stuff no one likes. I don’t think the main issue here is the eating part but rather the buying of crap.

I am so happy to be a lesbian.

This sounds a little like my DH. Especially sharing a dessert… I prefer to take my time and he will eat most of it. I got really resentful of little things like that.

I would make cookies for the kids for the week. They’d come out of the oven and next thing I know, he plowed through5-6 of them in 5 min.

I would cut up veggies for the kids for lunch and he would eat them before the kids did. They were in the fridge the whole time - but he will NEVER prep them himself.

We had enough fights and fortunately he is somewhat sensitive. Of course now, he won’t eat anything I bake and I feel badly. He says he doesn’t know what he can eat. Just recently he started asking me.

He is finally getting evaluated for ADHD soon. I honestly believe this is an impulse control issue (there are tons of other issues - not just these - these are just some of the food related ones).

Now, when sharing a dessert, I will literally cut half or what I want and pull it to my side of the plate. That works.

So while he could be a jerk, it could also be an element of ADHD. Just a thought.
