Does anyone else make separate meals for their s.o/kids and not hate it?

    I think if you are ok with it then it's ok. Plus it's a nice way to show him how much u love and appreciate him. BACK OFF HATERS. lol B)

    Oh yeah. Because not everyone wants to eat how I’m eating. But what I’ve noticed is that my friends & family return the favor. Usually during cook-outs they’ll include healthier options for me. They’re awesome.

    Last guy I was dating did that for me. And I provided acts of services (along with other "love languages") that were meaningful to him.

    If it costs you nothing but a little time to show devotion to your partner, why wouldn't you? If your partner is appreciative, loving, and supportive, that's a healthy and happy cycle.

    Sounds like bliss.

    thanks guys! it's just always something that has bugged me i guess. we have been together for almost two years, lived together for almost a year.it's just always what i have done. plus, i am home from work/gym by 6pm usually. i do not want to wait until 11pm to eat dinner lol and i definitely try to not eat carbs, so that is no fun for him. usually on the weekends we eat the same thing for the most part, but like some of you have said it is just modified. for example, saturdays i usually make burgers and potatoes, so i just don't have a bun and i eat a small amount of potatoes/sub in a pile of veggies. i'm okay with it like i've said, but sooo many people rag on me for doing it.

    Are the people who rag on you engaged in the type of relationship you'd like to have?

    If not, ignore them and smile inside.

    I make different meals every day. I don't mind it at all because I enjoy cooking and I can usually bring one of my kiddos in to help me. I'll get help with the cleaning too, so its more of a communal thing. My parents have an opinion, and I'm sure others do too, but I figure its my house my rules my kids.

    As far as my SO goes; that man gets whatever he wants with a smile...
