For thinking that DP is being selfish, or AM I greedy?

DP used to be a massive over-eater, in the end he had to have surgery to lose the weight he put on. Now he can only eat small portions of food in one go.

What annoys me is the way he seems to think everyone else should do this too. For instance, he keeps making subtle digs at my weight and "suggests" dieting. He insists on cooking every meal (he always has) and he makes mine a really small portion and says "that will be enough for you, won't it?"

Afterwards he will say "you won't want anything for afters, will you?"

Me and DD love Indian take-aways but only get one once every few months. We like to get a curry and rice each with a few popadoms. DP always says "I won't have one ... I'll just have some off each of your plates".

DD always kicks off and says she doesn't want him taking it off her plate and TBH, I don't either! we're treating ourselves to a rare treat, just because he can't eat much, why should we have to lose ours too?

He now says we're being "greedy" wanting a whole curry to ourselves. 1 curry - 1 portion, surely?

I'm sick of him being all self-rightious all of a sudden when if anything, he's the greediest one of us all. For instance, we can't save any chocolate in the cupboards as DP eats it when we're not around. All of the orange juice goes straight away as he drinks it all .. yet we're "greedy" for wanting a meal to ourselves now and again?

So is it him or are we being "greedy"?

oh, is OP a known looper?

coppertop · 29/06/2009 13:40

Stillstanding - The OP has started countless threads like this one. The latest ones were deleted by MNHQ.

I usually ignore them but tbh I've had enough now.

She has a truly vile and horrible DH and has been told so many times, yet she keeps posting different things he has done under different names as if people won't realise. I don't understand why - do you think you might get a different response if we think he's someone else? This is the latest in a line of nasty behaviour that she has posted about.

AMumInScotland · 29/06/2009 13:46

This same OP comes on and posts loads of threads under different names. People have tried to help her, but at least one thread has been very disturbing and was deleted by MNHQ.

This is not just an innocent OP who wants our advice.

I believe she was busy again over the weekend as i reported a couple of threads and they've gone.

StopSittingOnTheBabyPlease · 29/06/2009 13:54

Yes, DH with gastric band and lots of generally unpleasantness to and from him does ring a bell now.

Portians from an indian take-away are usually big. I find it difficult to finish one. So two curry's and rice sound ample for to adults and a child.

SomeGuy · 29/06/2009 15:34

the stories are all fake anyway. ignore them.

Actually I think I remember this family under another name- though IIRC it was immediately after the op and the OP was concerned about DD eating regular alrge curies etc (It amy be she has been moderated somewhat over time)

Either immensely coincidental or same name different (themed for MJ) posting name?

MrsT I will say what I said then- he has an eating disorder taking both posts into account
