[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has an eating disorder, OP. Was he food-insecure growing up? Or had lots of siblings?  I know you are seeing this primarily as a character flaw, greed and gluttony. But please believe me that it is an eating disorder.

He will not change, and you cannot change him. Either accept that this is how he is going to order or take him to prix-fixe places/buffets/etc. [/quote]

You’re 100% right. He grew up wealthy, don’t worry about him. But I do think he has some sort of eating disorder.

He’s a difficult person to be around generally- I wonder if he was nicer whether I’d have any problems with his eating. Probably not. He’s not going to change. [/quote]

My wife grew up both wealthy and food-insecure. How? Both of her parents were abusive and insane. Her mother didn’t work and her father would withhold food money to control and punish her mom. Her mom, in turn, would pretend that there was even less food then there actually was, and tell my wife that they couldn’t have any dinner that night because dad wasn’t giving them food money, and they’d have to go to bed hungry.

There are a lot of people out there with food issues and it’s not always easy to tell where they came from. Wealth is no shield, for sure.[/quote]
