    It sounds to me like this is an issue that can impact your health. That being the case, how he feels about it should not be a consideration. My husband likes it when we can eat together, but wouldn't want me waiting that late. He generally gets home around 7:30, and there are definitely days when I can't wait that long. Your boyfriend is lucky he's got you there to make his dinner. If it's making it harder for you to get healthy, eat when you need to.

    I would be inclined to eat when you want to... it might not be a meal together every night, but you can always have those nights together... you could always have dessert together, some fresh fruit or yoghurt etc after his late dinner.

    Thank you so much for your replies! This was starting to worry me because I know that I NEED to be eating earlier, I know it's impacting on my health and making me gain weight when I have to eat such a big meal right before bed. I guess it's one of the struggles of trying to mesh two different lives together. He always eats late and goes to bed really late whereas I used to be the complete opposite - I even used to eat dinner at 4:30pm every day and that really worked for me.

    I'm going to eat dinner with him tonight because I said I would but I will mention to him that I really can't do that anymore. I think he should be grateful that I make his dinner and it's waiting for him when he comes home! :p

    Maybe two small mini meals??
    I'm a firm believer that a family that ears together
    Stays together. When I was a kid my dad didn't get home til 9pm and
    we all waited to eat.

    Usually I wait until he's home. I feed my kids earlier. Sometimes they eat the same foods and sometimes I make them something completely different. I have found my hubby and I are actually able to have a conversation if it's just the two of us at the table instead of constantly focusing on the kids.
