Husbands and healthy food.

My OH seems that he CBA to cook for himself if I am out or doing a 5:2 fast day. He will open a tin of soup. He is so unresponsive to sensible comment on his diet. I have stopped bothering. He gets fads about what he eats and lies to himself about it.
God knows what he will be eating when I am away next week. There is plenty of food in the house and freezer. He knows where the shops are.
The Aspergers bit tends to mean he has trouble stopping what he is engrossed in to get a meal in the time before he has to go out. For me it's CBA NMP.

I suspect that the post on Sun 19-Mar-17 10:55:55 was advertising. Or has anyone seen that poster around elsewhere? If so, sorry.

I think I've seen goldengirl posting on some other threads too (I think!)

My DH will eat anything I cook. So mainly (fairly) healthy and always home made. I can count on one hand the amount of fry ups we have ever eaten although I suspect DH has one on the odd occasion when he is working away from home. He could eat "two tatties more than a pig" and still never put an ounce of weight on. Grrrrr. He thinks nothing of finishing a meal and then hunting around for the DGC's chocolate bars and could polish a huge bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk off in one sitting.

My husband was diabetic type 1 from when he was 11 years old.
All the time we were married we ate healthily. We became vegetarian over 40 years ago, ate far more than our five a day, mostly organic. At the diabetic clinic he was always held up as an example to others by the doctors. Cholesterol was always low, blood pressure perfect.
He died of a brain tumour when he was 65. Nothing to do with lifestyle.
Let them eat what they want, I say.

djen I agree

My BF always ate healthily, her DH not at all, never a vegetable if he could help it, guess who died in her 60s?
And, when you get to a certain age, why not eat what you want anyway.
Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

Same here. Had heart attack, stents, gall bladder out, type2 diabetic. Still gorges on cakes, white bread, pork chops, fattier the better. Oh and smokes like a chimney. So glad he's away for a month now. But also feel he is a selfish lard-arse who could actually try a bit better to stay alive for his kids. For me, I'm not so bothered...

Oh dear Shizam that's hard on you. I wonder why we're supposed to feel sympathy for people like that? Good on you for speaking the truth.
