AIBU to be sad that I can't share meal times with dh

DH has recently put himself on a very limited eating regime to help himself feel better with various ailments. This is totally self diagnosed, he's not been checked for food intolerances or allergies.

So he's gone from eating most things to a very restricted diet following the Dr Grundry approach. No gluten, dairy, lectins, etc. Although he is eating lactose free cheese every so often.

I can't cook anything for us both like I used to. All he's eating for dinner every night, is chicken, sweet potato, cauliflower and brocoli. So there are three separate meals going on, one for the dc, one for me and one for DH in that order. So we don't sit together at meal times anymore.

I understand that he wants to feel better but it's changed meal times completely. We're going out for dinner on Saturday, a very rare date night, and he's being really restrictive about where we can go.

I know lots of people will probably say, let him do his own thing but AIBU to be a bit sad that we can't share meal times?

Can you work on this together? Sit down at the weekend and plan a week's menu that works with a few tweaks so that at least you and your husband can have a similar meal most nights? You, maybe rightly, disapprove of him choosing to follow this diet without any medical advice, but by having no truck with it at all you have cut off your nose to spite your face.
