Then, give your husband this grace. He doesn't have to follow your rules. He can eat what he wants. You aren't the boss of him. And the flip-side if, you are not responsible for him or his decisions. Stop being a control freak. He can feed himself.[/quote]
I think people are being too rough on OP.  I agree that DH is an adult, but a diet like OP is describing will catch up to him eventually.  Once he's out of uniform, he's very likely going to balloon in weight and he'll start to develop cardiovascular disease.  Who will have to deal with the fallout of this?  Who will have take care of him after a heart attack or stroke?  His poor diet WILL impact her life and her child's life.[/quote]
Then if SHE wants him to eat better, she should make food that tastes GOOD. She is refusing to meet him half way. He is totally fine going on as is, she's the one with the issue. [/quote]

You’re just making stuff up now. I do want to cook better. You’re not being helpful, you’re just here to point fingers s[b]o just stay out of this.[/b] [/quote]

The good news is that OP is not controlling at all.

Seriously, OP, you need help, and not just -- NOT PRIMARILY -- with cooking. I told you not to use the word "clean" and you accused me of being triggered, then proceeded to use "clean" more times than I would have thought possible. When you don't like what someone says, you assume they're wrong, decide you're the victim, and decide the best response is to respond aggressively.

There is no aspect of life in which this approach takes anyone anywhere good. [/quote]

I mean, it's not terribly surprising that OP doubled down on the problematic "clean" term - and yes, in recent professional RD best practices - this is not a term to use - value judgements should not be ascribed nor used to describe food. Things like "cheat day" - "clean" is problematic not just because it's unclear but because it's defined by it's opposite -which is "dirty." Shame around food contributes to EDs and this is why current professional best practices advise avoiding these terms.

All that said - OP clearly likes histrionic,  overwrought language - she chose to say her husband's diet "disgusts" her and said he's "addicted" to his bad food rather than choosing other less strong terms. So the fact that she doubled down on "clean" is unsurprising. I don't think anyone's getting through to her that it's her dramatic attitude that is the biggest problem. [/quote]

Imagine being so triggered by OP using the word “clean” to describe food (which by the way, is very common) that this person has to make multiple posts pretending to be different people to go off on the OP for it.

Nothing says “histrionic” more than this deranged poster throwing around the terms narc and histrionic liberally.

I smell a histrionic junk food loving fatty who can’t control her cravings or emotions.
