Today, my husband decided that if he's not hungry, then I'm not allowed to make myself any food. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my wife is so determined to keep me on my diet that, as I'm off work for the next week, she has gotten rid of all the food in the house. She has also taken the phones and iPads so I can't order a takeaway, and taken all my trousers so I can't walk to the shops. FML

Sounds like a keeper
Today, my boyfriend came home and demanded dinner. I started suggesting things, but he threw out that we should just fend for ourselves. I made pasta and offered him some, but he decided to throw a fit and go to bed at 6:30pm without dinner. He then woke up at 9 to complain he was hungry, then slept on the couch. FML

Today, my husband stood me up for his birthday dinner, that I'd made, in our house. FML

Go long
Today, my husband threw an epic tantrum because I asked him to put away the leftovers from dinner. Yeah, because I guess me going to the grocery store, then preparing and serving the food AFTER working a 10 hour day wasn’t enough. Thanks babe. FML

Picky eater
Today, my wife doesn't like to cook. She doesn't like when I cook, because I enjoy cooking and she says I'm "making her feel guilty." She also doesn't want to order take out, as it's "a foolish waste of money." The fuck are we supposed to eat? FML

Food fight
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Cold dish for dinner
Today, as soon as I got home, my husband said he was hungry and that I needed to cook. I flipped my shit and yelled at him for a good half hour. Later, he pulled out his phone and showed me videos of me doing the exact thing to him, asking him to do things the second he walked in the door. FML

Today, I asked my husband to watch our kids while I cooked food for him. Apparently I asked in the wrong tone, because now he's pouting and won't eat. FML

I wanna be oppressed so bad
Today, my stepfather decided he was no longer part of our family, and refused to come to family dinner, all because we're all women, and he isn't. FML

That joke isn't funny anymore
Today, I told my husband that as I wasn't hungry, he had to cook for himself. He rang my Spanish stepmother as a joke to complain that I’m not wifey material. She showed up, whacked me with her Chancla, and browbeat me into cooking. He feels hella guilty, but he’s still a dead man once she leaves. FML

Tell him that the next time you're not horny, he's not even allowed to help himself. Might give him better prespective.

Don't make him food when he's actually hungry. Problem solved.

That is called abuse.

So instead of making yourself something to eat; you decided to come online and write about it? Come on...let's have a cup of coffee so we can clear the cobwebs, ok? :-) You're a grown woman, so you make your own decisions. And having a husband tell you when you can and can't eat isn't one of them. Now get off the computer, or your phone and go into the kitchen and get yourself a big glass of milk and a PB&J sandwich!

Make yourself a meal or snack regardless!! Don't let him dictate when you can and can't eat.

Am I alone in thinking the OP has been gerring heavy and this is her husband's last ditch attempt to stop it? If she continues unchecked it wlll certainly lead to divorce.

It had been touched on and quickly dismissed as a reason. It seemed to be a group decision to go with "control issues" instead. Myself? I think that perhaps it could be a little bit of both. OP should proceed with caution if anything does ring true.

"Might lead to divorce"? Seriously? Even if it were severe, increased weight gain to the point where they're worried, that'd be a reason to have a serious talk with their spouse and suggest they see a doctor, not a reason to turn into a controlling asshole. Besides, that's a pretty passive way to say "if you don't stay within a certain range of weight I'd dump you". What, do you think everyone's still going to look like a supermodel after decades of marriage?

Consider though: Is this the only thing like this he's done? That's what it looks like to me, and it seems the crowd mounted the "control" high horse way to fast.

71 - To begin with you went strait to reductio ad absurdium. There's about 50lbs between "supermodel" and "unacceptable." Secondly, detrimental health effects kick in long before "morbidly obese." Lastly, this may just be about preferences, people get divorced over far less every day.

kinda sounds like my dad... if he'd already eaten or if my mom was exhausted or sick, no body in the whole house would get to eat.
