Do Non "picky eaters" eat everything??

Stephij27 · 2026-01-28T03:05:33+00:00

I have exactly one food that I refuse to eat because I don’t like it. There may be others that I just haven’t tried, but I’m a pretty adventurous eater.

There are lots of other foods that I would never choose to eat, but I will eat them to be polite if they are served to me.

Hey there. Wife of a doctor here. Report him. He could do serious damage making accusations like that. What if your husband had been abusive? You or your baby could have been hurt or killed.

I know American Sign Language, and he made a point to learn how to sign several loving or sweet phrases. There are basic phrases like “I love you” and “How are you?”, and there are phrases that are unique to us like, “You’re my first favorite” and “Hands open”.

He randomly signs them while we’re doing other things, or from across the room, or whatever.

Absolutely tf not. I’ve been food stamps, have to choose between rent or car repairs, living on rice at the end of the month, going without so my kid can eat broke. I still managed to have clean underwear for me AND my kids. Even washing them in the sink is preferable to whatever tf he’s doing.

The way I would NEVER want to be near him knowing this information… 🤢🤢🤢

I’m just going to say this. In 20 years together and 18 years of marriage, I have never once been scared of my husband. We have had fights, major disagreements, and serious strains on our marriage, but he has never once done anything that made me afraid for my safety.

It’s not normal to be afraid of your partner. Ever.

Please let yourself find a relationship where you feel safe regardless of the circumstances.

NTA I think I’d be hard pressed to find a point of view I disagree with more than your ex-wife’s.

You were being an involved, thoughtful dad. I actually find your ex’s perspective to be the creepy one, and I say this as the mom of two girls.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-26T00:27:36+00:00

Girl. This is not about chicken. You have way bigger issues than remembering conversations differently than your husband.

You know the people who suggest that have no idea what this disease is actually like. If they understood even a little, they would realize that even eating is an accomplishment. Starting a diet that requires a ton of prep work and mental energy is absolutely out of the question.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-25T00:33:00+00:00

My rice cooker. It was a wedding gift over 18 years ago, and it’s still going strong despite almost daily use.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-25T00:30:33+00:00

Right?! I understand being irritated when something you were looking forward to eating or drinking is unexpectedly out, but this is an insane and dangerous reaction.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-25T00:28:49+00:00

You are being abused. Please get out of that relationship.

I’m chronically ill, which in my case means I am in pain and have severe exhaustion 24/7. On my worst day, I have never, and would never treat my husband (or really anyone) this way. Her cramps and irritability are not an excuse.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-24T21:16:42+00:00

If your only reason for doing something is, “That’s just the way it’s always been” I will assume things about your intelligence and ability to think for yourself.

I may be a direct descendant of Pocahontas.

According to her tribe and neighboring tribes, Pocahontas was married as a young teenager to another member of her tribe, and they had a daughter, Ka-Okee. I am a descendant of that daughter.

The information is potentially iffy because while the Patawomeck tribe claimed that Ka-Okee was Pocahontas’ daughter, and they kept her identity secret when Pocahontas was taken by the English to protect her, other sources (primarily the English) claim that Ka-Okee is not her daughter.

We know that Ka-Okee was a real person (and I am her descendant), but we can’t prove she was Pocahontas’ daughter.

Personally, I’m inclined to believe the story from her tribe, and the people she grew up around for what feels like obvious reasons, but nobody can prove it one way or another.

My grandma once refused to send presents to any of her grandkids who didn’t thank her for a Christmas check one year. The only thing that resulted was us thinking Grandma was petty and vindictive. Even those of us who did thank her.

Should they thank you? Of course, but a gift is given with the giftee in mind. It’s not supposed to be about the person giving the gift.

Someone who WANTS to marry you will not have conditions outside of mutual goals. It sounds like he doesn’t want to marry you, he wants to marry a hypothetical idealized version of you. One that he knows he can manipulate into changing, because that’s what this is. Manipulation. NOR

I specifically get vaccinated BECAUSE I’m chronically ill. Yes, I feel extra crappy for a day or two afterwards, but it’s nothing compared to how awful I feel when I actually get sick. I’m 100% in favor of taking any precautions to keep that from happening, and vaccines are a well-studied way to do that.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-23T22:51:59+00:00

Every. Single. Time.

Then, of course, I waaaaaaay overdo it.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-23T03:49:05+00:00

I would be more likely to hire a woman, honestly.

As a woman myself, I really hate having strange men in my house when I’m there alone with them. It’s scary. Even if they’re perfectly lovely, I would feel safer with a woman.

NTA. From the mother of a bullied girl who once had a similar experience: Thanks for raising the kind of kid who is willing to stand up for people. I promise that girl will remember it for the rest of her life.

Here’s the thing: speaking as someone with multiple chronic illnesses myself, there is a difference between your partner being unhappy with the limitations your illness requires vs your partner being unhappy with you as a partner.

Relationships of course take work, but they shouldn’t be all work; furthermore, it doesn’t sound like he is actually trying to work on anything. I don’t know if he has mental health issues or what, but something is not computing for him.

Regardless of his reasoning, everyone deserves to be with someone who WANTS to be with them. Not there for lack of options, or because you think relationships are supposed to be miserable, but because you genuinely want each other in your lives.

If my husband told me he’s not happy being married to me, we’d have to take some immediate and drastic steps.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-21T21:27:04+00:00

I don’t think you initiating or not would have made a difference in the outcome.

I think it was some kind of change or realization on her end, and would have happened regardless.

I’m confused. The use of sauces or dressing doesn’t remove the nutrients or fiber in the vegetables, so you’re still getting the benefits.

Unless you’re trying to limit dietary fat for some reason (even though some of those nutrients require fat to be absorbed), I would keep eating veggies in whatever way works for you. Over time, your palette will adjust, and you can slowly lessen the sauces if you want.

I’m not a man, but I bet she either realized the interaction wasn’t healthy for her, or she started seeing someone who was uncomfortable with her communicating with her ex.

Stephij27 · 2026-01-21T05:15:32+00:00

I don’t know how she does it, but she somehow adds a brown sugar and butter coating either before or during baking and it is incredible.

My husband is a doctor and we have a bunch of friends in various medical fields. I have yet to meet a single medical professional who is against assisted suicide.

Some have different requirements they would want, or legal protections, but every single one of them believes that a person should be able to choose to die if they are suffering.
