[quote=Anonymous]My husband did this when we were first dating and my folks or his would take us out to dinner - a drink, the appetizer, the entree (expensive because he only eats seafood, not other meat dishes). No dessert because he doesn’t really like dessert but maybe a second drink. I found it stressful at the time. As I got to know him better, I learned about the fairly disordered relationship he has with food. He’s struggled with his weight his entire life, and this is part of why: he orders this way when he’s paying too and he doesn’t seem to notice or care to adapt his behavior to match a different social situation. That said, the one time I commented on it directly to him, he was really hurt and embarrassed (even though it was just us in the room). He was a lot more self conscious about food for a while and over the years, I’ve just done the things others do. Avoid the pressure for him by mostly cooking at home and trading stuff like calamari for grilled shrimp etc. Order a bunch of stuff to share as a family without getting input from anyone. Consider it a special occasion and let it slide, be happy for him that he got XYZ thing he really likes but doesn’t get often because we don’t get a lot of takeout. [/quote]
