I hate the comments my husband makes about what I eat.

He constantly makes side commentary about what I eat. I had put a second tablespoon of parmesan and he snorted/laughed when I did this. I asked him what the problem was and he commented about how I must "really like parmesan." I asked him what the problem is and he said nothing.

I was eating wheat crackers earlier today about an hour before dinner and grabbed one more cracker from the bag, he said "are you sure you’re going to be hungry for dinner later?" I asked him why it’s his concern if/when I eat crackers and he went "oh god THIS again", like how dare I have the audacity to be offended by what be said.

I cook and do all the grocery shopping in our household. We eat healthy and have indulgences once in a while. He has some weird hangups about his own body.

Honestly I’m just sick of him and his snide commentary - if it’s not what I’m eating it’s what I’m buying or doing. He always has some kind of unkind comment.

About being 5’2” and 130? No.


Imagine the corpulence of a woman believing OP posted a VBA.

As a guy 5’2” 130 is a perfect weight.

DW is 5’4” 135 and anything under that just looks off.

Oh and your husband is an ass. Why in the world is he monitoring you like that.

"I don't need your input on my food choices"

Repeat it, with a dead stare, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

He sounds like a huge jerk. "oh no, not this again". I'd be pissed. I'd also be making him read books about unhealthy diet culture is and how he's part of the problem.

You need to have a talk with him about how rude this is, and be direct. I get it - my husband makes similar comments to the cheese comment, and snarky comments about me eating ketchup (which he dislikes). I am the same weight as you, although I am 5'5". My husband doesn't find me overweight, but does generally not like anyone to eat foods that he doesn't like or find appetizing - he does the same thing to my son, and we both hate it.

Gotta ask. Tell us about the Prince of Parmesan’s body. Where does he need improvement? Is he balding, too much hair on his body or a beer belly? What about his income level? Should he working harder?

I don't think anyone asked your opinion on their weight, dude

It's easy to hide behind the "health" thing. But once my husband said something about how I shouldn't eat a cookie, and I said, "weird, last night you encouraged me to have a second glass of wine with you. This cookie is a lot healthier. Could it be this is about my weight and not health?" Then I told him I needed him to stop commenting on what I eat because it messes up my enjoyment of it and makes me wonder if he's trying be controlling. He doesn't anymore.

This made me laugh out loud.

My ex made these comments, and hated my weight (a size 6! Can you imagine?!) Meanwhile, he was extremely insecure in his own body, because he was very underweight. But he never really committed to doing anything about it beyond a week or two at most.

You must be an ahole, too. No one should treat another human being that way. If he has actual concerns about her diet, he can discuss it like a normal human being. I could not stay married to someone like this. Life is too short to be around aholes all of the time.

Op just smile and shrug. Or say, "yes mom". But not in a nasty voice, in a sweet laughing way.

He is being a jerk but, that doesn't mean you have to let it bother you.

Pffft I wouldn't let it bother me and the way I'd do that is by making him stop saying rude obnoxious condescending things.

No, the cookie is not healthier than the wine, sorry.
