Irritated significant others!

mashanda

I called my boyfriend aked him what he was making for dinner. He sound a little strange. I asked him what was wrong. He said this counting stuff is irritating! Really! All I ask for is just a little support and 30 seconds of his time was irritating. Anybodyelse have this problem? :explode:

Ditto! That attorney was worth every penny I paid him and more!

I am working on mine, but I am getting a divorce for a different reason (abuse and cheating).

Well, my husband would never make dinner. LOL :laugh:

He does get irritated when I spend a lot of time trying to log my food on my phone when we are trying to eat dinner. I don't really pay attention to it, though.

Not this girl! My guy is 100% supportive. He even stopped drinking soda ( besdies when out to eat ) go my guy!

So after getting angry with him i text him. He called back and apologized he said he was sorry and that he just didnt understand. He has never been overweight in his life and he will do some reading about caloreis and diet in order to get and understanding of what i am doing. I guess he will get to be out the dog house this time

I can't even get my husband to count calories. He thinks that running 2 miles 3x a week will help him lose weight, while he sits around and eats Doritos by the bag. Once he asked me "how do we eat healthy?" and I said more veggies, lean meats, whole grains....and he said "Ew."

He definitely doesn't support my exercise and fitness goals...he doesn't ridicule me, but he doesn't help either.

My husband used to bring me milkshakes, then get mad that I wouldn't eat them and not speak to me for two days. Real mature.

Now that he's gone, I don't have anyone sabotaging me. Making it a whole lot easier this time.

My boyfriend is in his 50s and weighs the same as he did in high school so he doesn't really understand but he tries. He does all the cooking so he asks what I want then plans his meal around that too. Unfortunately, he also has a sweet tooth so he'll buy and entire pie, eat a slice, then leave it in my fridge when he goes home at night.

I keep him on a short leash.


KIDDING!!!!!!! HAHA

I feel you on the pie thing lol. My boyfriend loves sweets so there are always plenty in the house but i have also filled it with healthy alternatives so I do okay.

Hubby has been great in supporting me with this.
he said if I'm making a change, so is the rest of thr family.
He also said he'd stop buying Oreo's (his fave).
That lasted about 3 months---but he rarely buys them now.

Try giving him suggestions about what to cook. If he's making spaghetti, suggest whole grain noodles. If he's making chicken, offer a healthier recipe and some sides to go with it.

mashanda

He is usually pretty good I have just had a bad day on top of his reaction! It is hard to please a LEO woman that is also an oldest child. lol.

YukonJoy

My boyfriend is coming along quite nicely. He has a hard time though because his idea of spoiling me and loving me is bringing me home "treats". Wine, cider, candies whatever. But he is getting better and now he brings me home fruit...
Although it was a whole pineapple (what the eff), or coronation grapes he thought were blueberries.

LOL. Poor thing. He does try though :happy:

And when I make a healthy meal he always compliments me and tells me how much he enjoys eating healthy dinners.

Same here my husband supports me 100%. He's the best!

Well my hubby doesn't do the cooking or grocery shopping or even help in any of the meal/food planning...he just rummages through what we do have and selects what he wants and is normally just happy with whatever I provide...also when I tell him about how much I've lost that week or send him pic txts when I'm feelin proud he says he's proud of me I'm doing great & is very supportive HOWEVER he has had his moments where he has said things like u r always on ur phone now I'm sick of hearing about how many calories are in things I'm sick of talking about exercises, u know some people have told me look out ur wife may be losing weight to find a new man! *crazy right!?* etc....so he has his moments but overall I cannot complain he has been mostly very supportive and encouraging... however it hasn't changed his mind about his own diet and exercise...but even the dr. Telling him time n time again to lose his weight hasn't changed his mind lol. I do love that man tho

I usually cook but when I don't the bf always cooks around me. He is used to calls from me asking the calories in it. He is so skinny but understand why I do it. He even drives me to the gym early morning so I don't have to walk in the dark! :-)

It's interesting to see the difference in people and those that are in their lives.

I'm currently living with my Dad while I'm in school. He does most of the cooking, meal planning and buying. But he was always nice and would bring me a coffee or an ice capp... I politely asked him not to... I appreciated but I can't spend the calories on those. He understands! Though he keeps saying that he wants to get better too... he then goes out and buys a pie or cake. Sigh. I'm trying to steer him towards buying cakes or pies that I DON'T like... so I wont be tempted! Lol.

Yup. But sooo worth it. I told my now ex that I wanted do a marathon. The first words out of his mouth were, "Why would you want to do that?"

Well, guess what ... I did that marathon and a few other half marathons to boot. Of course there were other issues, but when issues trump happiness on a daily basis ... time to rethink things.
