Soon he will be choosing to eat with someone else.

Because OP is a drama queen.

Lol I think OP is a little dim. No wonder her husband just prefers not to talk to her. She must be maddening to deal with every day.

I'm surprised you even have to ask this question.

I agree with this assessment. You can say you prefer to eat at home without insulting the other person’s tastes.

Why do we need 2 threads on this.

Yes, it is. A simple no would suffice.

You seriously had to make another thread about this? Your husband is a saint for putting up with you.

If you are constantly changing plans you are a total pain.

Not a chance of plans, I told him I was planning to eat at home earlier that day. I agree, I hate when people change plans at the last minute!

Judging from your other thread, you and your husband are both immature and horrible at communication. You were rude. The fact that you can't see that is surprising. In the future just say "no thanks. Already have something planned to make at home. If you want to grab something though, feel free to! See you later tonight!!"

Are you the OP who upset her husband because she wouldn't eat a cheesecake factory burger?

You respond that no, you'd prefer to eat at home and don't want to spend money on that crap food.

Is that rude or insulting?

The bold is fine. The second part is rude.

Second part is insulting and condescending. You don't need to insult your spouse's choice of food. You can just say, I rather eat at X or home.
