Canola contains omega 6 fatty acids, we already get too much of those.


Controlling much?


Is OP preventing DH from buying canola and cooking with it? Doubt it.

Of course he's entitled to his opinions. Sounds like you guys aren't a great match, and he's being loud and clear about it. I'd say move on.

OP, he sounds very unpleasant.

Is there anything you DO like about him?

Lol...only an American would think "I'm entitled to my opinion". I take that you're not white?


Huh? In fact, I'm not white. Not sure how that's relevant? I was just trying to give OP a script to acknowledge what her DH is saying without it cramping her style and help her see that his opinion need not affect anything that she is doing, at least in the examples given.

He doesn't like you. Run away quickly.

Most of them are small, but they are relentless:

He doesn't like what cooking oil I use (lately I have been using ghee and coconut oil). He went so far as to tell my relatives over Christmas that he thought it was "despicable" ??

He doesn't like when I wear glossy lipstick or when I wear my hair with a wave.

He doesn't like any of my DIY projects like making sauerkraut or bone broth even though they do not impact him at all.

He doesn't like the movies I like to watch. God forbid he watch something he doesn't like once to please me!

It really is endless it feels sometimes. I want to run away.



sorry OP. This is not him expressing an opinion so much as continually judging and criticizing you--his 'opinions' add up to someone who does not admire or validate you and makes sure that you know it. This is not what loving partners do, its what immature passive aggressive jerks do.

He sounds like a bully. In the New Year, see a therapist and decide if you want to try to convince him to do therapy with you, or if you want to dump him.

Next time he says it, tell him that you're entitled to divorce him for being an asshole about expressing his opinion all the time.

I think this is good advice, but I still long to have some compliments and positive words now and again.
