To eat Chocolate in front of DH when he is on a GP imposed Diet

[Oldsu]

Just eaten a whole bar of Cadburys Fruit and Nut, DH is whimpering and giving me the big eyed treatment, but not sharing with him his GP has him on a diet for a reason.

DH says I am cruel and wicked and that I don't love him and is sulking.

So am I being unreasonable??? I am not on a diet.

Is the OP in a sugar coma?

Perhaps they have had a massive fight over a bar of cadburys and its all sorted and she dont need us anymore

I'm currently on a diet :-( (self imposed)

My DH and Au Pair both eat sweets, biscuits and chocolate around me. At first it was hard. But ya know "no" is a complete sentence. Now it's much easier (and i seem to manage to fit some "nice" treats in in my calories for the day) (though to do so today I had to run 4k)

It's not very supportive, but at the same time, he doesn't need to be a wimp. He could have said "I'm really struggling with my diet. It's a massive lifestyle change, for the first few days would you mind if you didn't eat chocoalte around me please?"

Then if OP still did it, she'd be being a bitch. Because then she's ignoring his request for support.

Yabvvvvu and unkind, eat it away from him.

Pretty unkind, why has the gp asked for this diet? I'd presume you would want to help your husband with whatever he's going through.

This is a really odd thread. I can't believe how many of you are saying she is unkind. You must reeeaaallly love the chocolate!

It wouldn't bother me, just as dh drinking, eating mussels, pate etc when i am pregnant doesn't. Do you all expect you partners to give up booze if you are pregnant? I feel no support from someone around me also giving up something i am - that just makes 2 miserable people instead of one. It doesn't diminish my misery in any way. I feel no solidarity. I still feel i am missing out. What's the difference if they have it or they don't? - you still don't get to have it either way. (i must say i don't really understand 'support' from the presence of any person in any way tho, for anything i am either doing something horrible or i am not, no one standing near me makes me feel any better)

Nobody mentioned the OP giving anything up.

How is she meant to eat it then Worra? in another room? Secretly? What if she just wants to eat her chocolate in front of the telly? Or have a non diet dinner at mealtimes? Is he going to expect 'support' then too.

The only time i enjoy a bit of chocolate is with a cup of tea while watching the tv. If i was expected to not do that then it would effectively be asking me to give it up.

God forbid a married couple should support each other!

You are spot on. When I was giving up the ciggies. I would never of thought my husband would not smoke around me as some form of 'support'. Would not have entered my head.
And if he did NOT smoke around me it would have been no support as it was my issue I was dealing with.
My do grown adults need support for things like this! I prefer doing stuff on my own. I find all this weird to be honest. And some of the comments on here are very wet.

But how is it supportive? It is just being a dog in a manger. I have to suffer so i feel better if i know someone i love is also unhappy - nice.
