[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean this gently and with sincere curiosity, aimed at understanding more and offering helpful advice and commiseration:

Was DH like this when you dated/were first married? Or is this a new behavior, or a behavior that has popped up with age and over time?

Forget your ILs: they are old people who don’t actually need to matter to you, at all. They’re not going to change.

But with DH, it’s important to know if this is how he’s been all along, or if this is increasing/a new behavior. [/quote]

It’s an increasing frequency of behavior. 
He thinks the low fat, low sodium meals I prepare are just for him. We are a family of four.

Trying to imagine the scenerio-- your family sits down for dinner and he takes all the food? If so, he gets served last.[/quote]

This was my father. He would take an enormous portion, scarf it down and then start grabbing off our plates. To this day my sister and I eat in about 60 seconds because we grew up that way. My mother would yell at him but he ignored her.
He grabs off his grandkids plates now. He's eaten himself into kidney dialysis. Hope your husband makes a lot of money OP.[/quote]

Preach. I am also a very fast eater from a large family with multiple brothers. I tell my kids now they are lucky. They take hours to eat. They aren’t used to food rivalry and scarcity [/quote]

I'm from an eastern culture where poor parents tried to feed their portions to their kids so parents taking from kids sounds odd and cruel. [/quote]

It IS cruel, inconsiderate, and self centered in most cultures.

Even if you are autistic or adhd or have “food noise” stop being a greedy, selfish pig.

You probably fart more too, all that inhaling food faster than everyone. [/quote]
