To not want to always eat fried foods?

[Unhappilymarriedd]

We’re on holiday and all he cares about is McDonald’s and KFC! He’s been the same since forever but I’m just over it now. I’ve lost nearly 4 stones and it’s not that I’m conscious of putting weight on I just don’t enjoy fried foods much anymore. I found a lovely little tapas bar with meats salad’s rice everything they even sold fried chicken for his sake! He didn’t want to go there so I have ended up not eating.

Obviously I was upset but I didn’t say anything I was just fed up walking round for hours trying to find a restaurant that suited us all only to end up at kfc again.

So then he’s winding me up oh poor mummy (to the kids) she didn’t get to eat her tapas.

He makes me feel abnormal for not waiting to eat McDonald’s or kfc all the time.

This would drive me mad. What adult wants to eat that rubbish for every meal and surely it would be so much better for your kids to try something different.

Horrible of him. Does he have any redeeming qualities?

He sounds like a twat. You should go for tapas alone.

Go for the food YOU want to eat, let him be a boring git and eat what he wants.

So then he’s winding me up oh poor mummy (to the kids) she didn’t get to eat her tapas
To be honest thats worse than the fried food issue.
He is deliberately disrespecting you in front of the children and undermining and mocking you.
Im the only veggie in the family but dh will never go to a restaurant without checking the menu to make sure there's several options for me to choose

Now they are adults ds1 and 2 do the same when they take me out.

He has an eating disorder. And is also a cunt.

None! I’m very much out of love with him. I just don’t know a life without him.

Im sorry he is spoiling your holiday. I would let him have his boring fast food with the kids, and take yourself off for lovely tapas and a few glasses of wine.

He's not a nice man, is he? Is he like this at home as well?

I can’t be doing with man-children that haven’t grown up and started eating vegetables. That’s unattractive enough as it is but this:

”So then he’s winding me up oh poor mummy (to the kids) she didn’t get to eat her tapas.”

gives me the rage to the point of wanting to punch him in the face for you. What a disgusting, selfish cunt. To watch the woman he supposedly loves not get to eat a nice meal she wanted (and not eat AT ALL from what you’ve said?) and to mock that openly and laugh about it is vile beyond words!! I cannot imagine wanting to deprive my DP of a meal he wanted, even if I didn’t want it myself! We’d find a way to compromise so we’re both happy.

He’s disgusting. Do yourself a favour and bin him off. Fast. Urgh 🤮

You should leave him.

Not because of his appalling diet but because he hates you.

That might sound dramatic, but can you imagine depriving someone of food when there are plenty of options available and then mocking them in front of their own children? I'm struggling to think of anyone i dislike enough to do that to?

Maybe Nigel Farage? Oh I definitely starve Andrew Tate. But real people? No.

Yet the man who is supposed to love and respect you enjoys treating you with absolute contempt.

Get you and your kids away

So he's feeding the kids that junk every day too?
I would tell him to piss off and take the kids for tapas. He's can go and eat kfc on his own.
Why are you still married to him? He sounds like an absolute prick! He's also teaching your children really bad habits around food and how to treat a partner.

It will be a better one, no matter how hard it seems now

What a dickhead

Are you happy in your relationship generally?

I’d leave the unadventurous, unhealthy, selfish man to it and eat what I wanted anyway.

And what would he say if you said "poor Daddy has never grown up and learned to eat like an adult"? Or "poor Daddy has never learned that it's his responsibility to teach you to make healthy choices"?

Why does he always get to decide where to eat?

he is going to make you children’s diet as bad as his

Clock the username?

That sounds awful, and it's not fair. On holiday, everyone should get a chance to do what they enjoy - so at the very least you should at least take it in turns to pick the restaurant each night.

And I get the sense that being controlling about food is just the tip of the iceberg with this man.

I know you say you can't imagine a life without him, but maybe it's time just to start thinking about it.

I am single now, having spent most of my life with men who were controlling and limiting in various ways. Honestly, I have never been happier. I do what I want when I want. I eat what I want when I want! It's the little freedoms that actually means the most!

And if I can do it, I promise you you can.....

How awful of him. Can you and the kids go to a nice restaurant and leave him to his fast food?

Mocking you in front of your children is really shocking. Tomorrow take the children to the tapas bar without him. Tell him he can go to KFC on his own and you’ll meet up after. He’s a complete knob. There’s really nothing to lose here so you might as well have things your way. It doesn’t matter if you annoy him, he deserves to be annoyed, and as you said you not in love with him any more. Time to be assertive.

It’s one where your partner goes with you to eat tapas and encourages the children to be adventurous.

and plans visits to food markets to try local foods as part of your trips. And doesn’t mock you for not wanting to fast everyday like there isn’t McDonald’s at home.

everyman isn’t an arrested development loser who mocks his wife because he is SCARED to eat different foods.

he is a fearful man. It’s embarrassing really. He’s scared a bit of paprika on potatoes and grilled peppers and garlic prawns 😂😂😂

daddy’s scared of patatas bravas

Well then just eat whatever

just go to kfc direct tomorrow

you tried to offer an alternative

kids happy
husband happy

less stress

Are the kids also having fried fast food every day then? You need to take them to eat somewhere else, let your DH go by himself if he wants something different.

Absolutely take the kids to a proper restaurant and let him go get a happy meal after that comment to the kids.
