To be pissed off that DH has stopped eating anything with egg in it

[ClockworkMouse]

BUT only if it has been cooked by me?

It's a new fad he's started, apparently he finds eggs disgusting now, after more than 35 years of eating it. So he doesn't eat anything with it - cakes, pancakes, anything crumb-fried and so on. Fair enough. But he will eat it at shops/restaurants/other people's houses. Makes me feel reallly annoyed, because it feels like a personal insult. The cakes I make at home he will not touch but he'll slather over and praise excessively anything someone else has made. His excuse is that he knows I'm using eggs (and sometimes sees it, smells it) whereas he doesn't know it with anything made outside the house .

I'm really pissed off and thinking of finding something that I partake in only if someone other than him is doing it. No not really, I can't be bothered with that. But AIBU to be upset?

How about partaking of sex if someone other than him is doing it

I can sympathise with your DH. I do not like turkey. I have eaten turkey every Christmas of my life. This includes over 25 marriage, when I have cooked and eaten it every year, because that's what everybody else likes and expects. A couple of years ago I decided that I was no longer going to cook and eat something I don't like, so for the last few years I have cooked Turkey for the rest of the family and something different for me : duck, goose etc. Am planning pheasant for this year. But, like your DH, if I am served turkey at someone else's house,i would not be so rude as to turn it down or expect them to cook separately for me. i would even eat a little of it and then apologise for being too full to finish it. But I really do think that in my own home, i should not have to eat something I really dislike!

When I am cooking a meal where there is an element that someone in the home dislikes, I will change that element only. eg; DC1 does not like liver, so if that is the planned meal, I will substitute something else but the accompaniments remain the same. Can lead to odd combinations, but I refuse to cook a completely separate meal. If someone wants something totally different, they have to cook it themselves.

It's your duty to inform him - as you've said he would feel 'betrayed' if you hid egg from him. Tell him everything bought in your house that has egg in. When you go out to a cafe/a friend's house, make sure to ask if anything has egg in so your DH won't be sullied by it.

Stupid (damn seems wrong calling you that) I understand that you eat a little of something you don't out of politeness I have done the same with macaroni cheese. When we left the person I was with said you don't like that do you? lol

Her husband seems to thoroughly enjoy stuff with eggs in outside the family home from the OP not just politely eat it. If you don't like your wife's cake because it has eggs in it etc why would you pick that in a restaurant or politely decline cake in a friends house

It does seem more than a not like egg thing.
