Partner hates me using MFP :(

And please ignore the people saying he is jealous or a douche or giving you a right to be selfish.

If you in a relationship and anything your doing is bothering your partner don't just dismiss it. Logging food and stressing about food can be very obsessive and stressful for both parties. Your always crunching numbers and on your phone or the computer day in and day out and the other person has experience that with you anytime food becomes an issue.

Like the other person that had a meltdown at her anniversary dinner because the menu at the restaurant changed. I'm sure that distressed her husband watching her have that reaction over food as it did her.

You have to learn to keep track but also be flexible. So if your being on MFP is taking time away from your partner or distressing them in terms of enjoying time with you, find a way to balance both out.

This is probably the best post in this thread. If she is diverging her attention from her relationship issues and is ignoring what he is saying then she doesn't really care what he has to say. I would hate having a partner that refuses to address relationship concerns.

it's just really hard to see how much you really are eating unless u put it right out in front of you.
that being said, if u are jumping on here every time you take a bite and it's getting in the middle of your time with him, maybe u can just log at a specific time... pre-log what u know u are gonna eat and then wait til evening to log the rest. maybe the issue is that u are constantly online, which is just as irritating at someone being constantly on their phone or checking facebook every 5 seconds when u are trying to spend time with them

So true

I also wouldn't want a partner who paid no interest in any of my passions/interests/hobbies/obsessions, and just let me get on with what I was doing without any input whatsoever. When I was at my MFP worst, I NEEDED my wife to say to me "Whoa! You're seriously going to log the Paracetamol that you have just taken!!!" (One calorie by the way)

It certainly IS her business what I am doing

No doubt brother from the other side of the globe. Dieting should be a lifestyle rather than some type of pressure to get somewhere. Pressure to log things and all that obsession people have posted not only annoys people in this website but more likely it may affect others in their personal life. Some days I just don't log anything honestly cause I don't feel like it. I don't want to give my mind any unnecessary room to develop any dependence on meaningless logging. I eat the same *kitten* everyday so.
