    We've cooked separate meals for 9 years. He competes in body building and his food requirements are completely different then what I or our young son need. I agree if you do all the cooking then he can eat it or figure out how to fend for himself.

    I am genuinely shocked that so many women seem to cook for their husbands on a daily basis, honestly - do they never cook or do you not cook together? I've always cooked with my partners, it was a bonding, romantic sort of thing. Though to be fair I am the single one on this thread - perhaps I need to get my apron on!

    I work full-time, spend my evenings as a kid taxi (2 sports each, every season), clean, laundry, yardwork, vehicle maintenance, etc. And I find time to go to the gym every day. If it must be done, it can be done. Welcome to the reality of marriage and the real reason multi-tasking is key! It must have been invented by working moms :happy:

    PS - my husband works 10 hour days and commutes 3-4 hours each day - so if I want to eat before 7pm and don't want him to have to waste family time with pesky things, I cook. We only go do fun stuff or to the kids games when he's home!

    That is very difficult to do when you have a spouse who won't join you. So....why not just cook the healthy way and don't tell him about it? He's an adult, he can cook too. :)

    For me, I actually did start to buy a few things for myself which are healthier choices for eating...like my 99% egg whites, 45 calorie bread, 1% milk, ranch dressing, lowfat mayo, low sodium bacon, etc. But since those are my choices, I still buy the other stuff for my children. I find that my husband doesn't really notice the difference if I happen to use the healthier/low fat stuff.

    Good luck.
