    I am betting the husband is the bread winner. Since he brings home the bacon, atleast cook the man the food he wants. ( and women wonder why men cheat) He's gonna find someone who will cook that steak, burger, etc for him.

    I'm sorry but if me not cooking the food he wants causes him to go out an cheat on me then I don't think that we should have been married in the first place. Throwing an tantrum because you don't get what you want is utterly childish! I haven't had a tanturm since I was about 7.

    It sounds like he needs a swift kick in the butt! But seriously he needs to support you and not throw a fit like a teenager. If this is important to you then it should also be important to him and not an opportunity for him to throw a pity party. I mean he can always cook himself if your food is that awful (which I doubt.) Hope that helps!

    This!! Or his *kitten* would just go hungry!

    Listen, you're there to serve him, so quit being selfish and cook what he wants, no matter how unhealthy or unappetizing it is. And wear a nice dress and heels while you're at it; he should have something pretty to look at while he waits for his dinner.

    She should be cooking naked with stilettos on.

    is he an invalid or something?

    serve your alleged delicious diet food while wearing a teddy and throw ina few hair tosses and stripper back bends. he might have a different impression of cauliflower pizza crust and shiritaki noodles after that.

    cheaters are cheaters regardless of what is cooked or how well looked after they are, I told mine if it ever happened again we would be done real fast.

    Wow that's really hurtful to you. Let him eat whatever he wants for lunch and you eat your choice as well then at dinner he eats the healthier meal. You could also give him one night a week where he picks dinner and you plan to compensate at lunch for a naughty dinner. I'm glad my husband and I are both losing weight together. If he pulled this stunt, he would never have a home cooked meal again!

    Just because YOU want to eat a certain way doesn't mean he has too. I don't blame him for wanting to eat GOOD food. Perhaps you should cook 2 seperate meals. Don't impose your new found lifestyle on other people, including your spouse.

    Seriously? Erm... why should she? I'd be saying he's dam lucky to get home cooked meals every night!

    My advice to original poster is to tell him to like it or lump it.

    Dude. Give him a reality check as in, "quit your crap, you and i both know you're being immature and petty. If you don't want to eat what i cook, then feel free to cook your own dinner. I'm not making two."
    As others have said, he's a big boy. Don't coddle this behavior. I'd say the exact words above verbatim to my fiancee if he decided to "boycott" my cooking. He'd eat eggs for one night and i'd be cooking for us both the next. Stand up for yourself!

    Cook all that food, portion it and put it in the freezer, and then you'll have meals for when you don't feel like cooking!

    Then on nights where you don't "cook" then you can whip one out and eat it in front of him.

    If he has a problem with what you're cooking, show him the way to the kitchen. He can cook for himself, his hands ain't broken.

    I agree with every single answer on here. But, I do appreciate your efforts to feed him. Pray for the man. It's hard! I tried dieting when my man wasn't losing weight once and it did not go well for long. Now, he's in it with me, and it's SWEET! It's hard to do health with whiners. But, healthy food IS GOOD FOOD! It tastes better! I tried to eat a piece of my kid's fried food the other day and the taste of it nearly made me sick. Same with overly sweet food. We are accustomed to JUNK. Don't let it fool you. I so love the answers for how to creatively adapt the menus to suit him and you. I have three teens in my house, so I've had to do a lot of this. I cook, and if they don't like it, or I can't modify it, there is always some lunch meat in the frig., soup, frozen pizzas, or stop by and get a sandwich on the way home. The options are endless to the motivated. (And I eat at home before taking them to McDonald's if they get a hankering and I get tired of the options there.) Hang in there!

    That's just dangerous. She'd get a grease burn and have to go to the hospital. Then no one would get dinner.

    I'm sorry, this is 2013, not 1953. A grown *kitten* man has no excuse for ever demanding a specific menu. He needs to make his own meals or shut his gob and be very thankful you're willing to cook for him at all. Some of us have to make our own dinner EVERY NIGHT! *gasp*

    My friend has to make herself a healthy meal and her family something different. Yes, it's more work but it's worth it to have a happy healthy body and home life. Have them at least try the new food and let them decide if they like it. Then maybe they'll help you eat it next time.

    So he's been requesting i make a bunch of deep fried food and burgers and stuff. Since I didn't he's just deciding that he won't eat anything I cook...even if it's stuff he likes.

    I had someone in my house like that too. He's now 8 years old and has grown out of that phase, thankyouverymuch

    Everyone at our house eats what I cook or they're on their own. That guy would die at my house.
