Feeder or love language

My DH insists on offering food even when we say no thanks, he thinks he knows better and will encourage me or DC to have whatever he's offering food wise even if we clearly said no Thankyou. Big blow up at the dinner table tonight because he wanted to serve DD when she clearly said she'd like to serve herself. DH is hurt because he says it's his love language. I find it irritating and even disrespectful because whilst I concede that to offer once is kind, to insist and feel hurt or rejected when someone has clearly said no thanks is dickish.

If my husband said anything was his 'love language', I'd probably bludgeon him to death.

This too

Any issues around food deprived as a child? I ask as my DH remembers communism well, often recalling lack of food and he is very much a feeder.

His dad just loves to be served. He'll ask for the salt when it's right in front of him etc. It's attention seeking behavior and his dad needs a lot of attention. Maybe DH got his dads approval that way but he's certainly not getting ours !
