Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Tonight after having a good time at a swimming pool, my husband insisted we get something at 's and talk. We'd already eaten dinner and I told him I wasn't hungry, but then he got all hurt and pouty because eating is something we do together, and he's told me in the past he finds it easier to loosen up and talk when we're out at a restaurant or something, so we've worked out lots of problems and discussed issues over many burritos and plates of pesto tortellini in restaurants. At 's, he kept reading things off the menu to me and whining " this isn't that unhealthy, come on. " Finally I ordered a Frosty and ate the whole thing because I had worked all day long and hadn't had any time to myself and he was driving me crazy because he was in a playful, silly, spend-money-and-eat-like-it's-going-out-of-style-mood and I knew I had a messy apartment and a sinkful of dishes waiting for me and then I'd have to wake up early and go to work all over again. Grrr. He pushes food as a way to bond, but I wasn't in a bonding mood at all. I just wanted to be left alone. I feel like I can't ask him for alone time or other things I need because he gets upset and sulky, even if I try to tell him nicely, and not like I'm just rejecting him or something. This happens a lot. I eat because I feel like I have no choice and I hate to upset him. Does anyone have any ideas? McKella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
