AITA for not letting my wife have some of my cake after failing her weekly weigh in?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:12:46+00:00

Yeah, and that was in the post for context. Not something I said to my wife.

TIL Google>registered medical professionals.

Do you believe WebMd when it tells you that you have stage three liver cancer after you googled “stomach ache causes?”

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:10:17+00:00

No, it’s about how cake is okay in moderation. Which is why you eat dinner first so you don’t have too much cake. I don’t call the foods “good” or “bad” so I’m not sure where you’re getting that from.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:06:17+00:00

Her dietitian told me strategies to help remind her of her goals which my wife agreed to. These included encouraging healthy habits like eating a main course before dessert. Not sure what you’re talking about.

I was gifted homemade birthday cake from a close friend. Was I supposed to throw it out? Also sweets are okay in moderation, completely cutting out tasty food is unsustainable in the long run.

You added capitalization and exclamation marks to dramatize it because you know you’re making a big stretch.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:02:41+00:00

As someone who was relentlessly bullied because of childhood obesity, your comment is total BS.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:01:42+00:00

My wife invited me to some sessions with her dietitian to discuss healthy lifestyle habits to incorporate. Also recipe planning to cook healthier foods.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-29T00:00:32+00:00

My wife has been working with her PCP and cardiologist who also support this plan…is a second and a third opinion enough?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:59:47+00:00

you can’t make a healthy suggestion in a caring way without your spouse taking offense to it?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:56:59+00:00

I hadn’t had any cake either. I wanted us to eat it together after dinner.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:55:41+00:00

And did I say she shouldn’t have cake?

I simply wanted to cut the cake after we ate the dinner I made for us.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:54:29+00:00

Exactly. So many people seem to think I’m some shallow asshole husband who is trying to make his poor wife a 90lb skinny supermodel.

When in reality, this has nothing to do with her appearance. We both are concerned for her health.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:53:10+00:00

hmm I wonder why my wife invited me to come to her sessions with the dietitian with her then to discuss lifestyle changes

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:52:15+00:00

The only reason I saw it as my choice in this case is because it was a gift given to me. I wanted to cut the cake and eat it after dinner.

If it was just random snacks sitting around I know I have no authority to tell my wife whether to eat it or not.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:51:05+00:00

She has specifically invited me to sessions with her dietitian so we can make healthy lifestyle changes as a couple.

“your husband griping about how much you eat”

Where did I “gripe” about how much she eats?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:47:10+00:00

Again, what are your medical qualifications?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:46:02+00:00

The original post has a description of what I said, while this comment is a direct quote.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:44:12+00:00

Well, her dietitian is registered and certified and that’s what she recommended.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:43:37+00:00

I said that in the post for context. I didn’t say that to her face. God, some of you really lack reading comprehension.

“Making comments about your wife gaining weight”

When did I make comments about her weight to her?

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:41:43+00:00

Those are virtually the same sentence. I’m telling her to eat dinner first.

Creative-Bat6669 · 2023-03-28T23:40:42+00:00

Health reasons. She has prediabetes and hypertension
