The crazy thing is if she just said she'd like her brother to live with them for a while so he could go to a better school, husband probably could have been convinced.

Especially pregnancy cravings, those will drive you completely insane.

There are so many husbands that can't handle a bit of solidarity for their pregnant wives.

As a fat person, waving food a person physically cannot eat without harming themselves but still has cravings for in front of a person is mean as gently caress.

I think waving something in someone else's face that they really want and can't have is pretty inconsiderate, regardless of weight.

That said, I just don't get having a total breakdown over a food craving. I've been pregnant and wanted to eat half a chocolate cake that was leftover from a party, or demolish an entire jar of pickles. And I knew it would be bad later so I just...didn't? Because I'm in charge of me? The guy sounds like a total rear end in a top hat and I'm confused as to why she decided to have a kid with someone who has probably been that selfish the entire time, but nuking a relationship you supposedly want to be in over temporary food cravings seems shortsighted.

Eh, my wife and I are on quite restricted diets that barely overlap. Both of us would desperately rather eat what the other does, really. (At least temporarily, grass is greener, etc...) If I ate what she needs to eat I'd be in the ER within days, if she ate what I did her bloodwork would quickly go out of control. It sucks but you deal with it, we basically couldn't eat otherwise. The alternative is horrible illness, death, or divorce.

It more sucks from a shopping/leftovers/cooking perspective. It's tough to get the motivation to cook properly for one and not drown in leftovers you get sick of.

I think it massively depends on your relationship with food in general. I have a hard time wanting to eat, so a craving is a good thing that helps me. I had work done on my teeth that meant I was on a restricted diet for a while and cravings suddenly became super frustrating. If I added pregnancy hormones on top of that, I think I'd have been having a drat bad time.

I think for that to be completely above board, one of them would have to become the legal guardian of her brother. People will frequently use the address of a relative to get their child into a better school district, and it's considered fraud. Schools can and do ask for proof of residency from the parents/guardians when changing districts.

That said, they probably could have pulled something where they show the school a fake utility bill to prove residency, and as long as she always intercepted any mail from the school (do schools send physical mail anymore?), her husband would have never known.

The problem is, this isn't "a food craving". It sounds like she probably has gestational diabetes, which requires the same sort of carb-controlled diet as for Type 1, only stricter because you can't take insulin. If I went through six months without potatoes, butter, any processed sweet food, and beef, I'd be cranky too.

did she use medical terms or did she call it a hoo-ha, because saying "ouchie in my balls" reads very differently from "debilitating pain in my groin/testicles"

While gestating an entire human being. And, at least until the therapist suggested a compromise, while your partner was cheerfully bringing home donuts and eating them in front of you.

She may have overreacted now, but there was enough stress before to justify her attempting to strangle him with her placenta.

The general tone of his post seems like he was probably being insensitive about it but it also seems like she basically feels that he automatically shouldn't be allowed to eat anything she's not able to eat, even when he's by himself and she's not seeing it, so I kind of feel like they both suck, although I'm willing to cut her more slack since she's going through pregnancy and gestational diabetes or whatever.

It sounds like they have mostly accepted the compromise proposed by the therapist, but she is being an rear end in a top hat by freaking out about a receipt in his car (come on) and he is imo being an rear end in a top hat by posting this on reddit in a way where it seems like he probably wants people to tell him that he should go back to eating donuts in front of her (at least try to understand her feelings even if the actual freakout about the receipt is dumb)

If they are already doing couples therapy... just talk about this in therapy for fucks sake

Okay doesn't gestational diabetes sometimes last beyond pregnancy or even become permanent diabetes? Because that seems like a factor too, it may not just be like "don't eat this for nine months" but instead, "don't eat this forever." Dude needs more therapy and so does she, or their lives are gonna implode.

My ex had a little meltdown while pregnant, and craving god drat Burger King cheese dip, ice cubes and strawberries. Ice and strawberries I could get but the only burger king nearby was closed, and the nearest one was like an hour away, it was late and neither of us drive. She kind of lost it a little, not in a shouty mean way, but the worse way where she just cried silently and looked like she wanted me to kill her. So I called and woke her dad up, and then we drove for an hour each way to load up on cheese dip. It's funny, when I called and he picked up he was understandably a little annoyed but after I explained the cheese dip situation he was like "I'm on my way" instantly and he pulled up 10 minutes later, still in his pj's. Good man.
Anyway I think I would have tried to rob a bank if she had asked me to at that point, due to Biology I guess? I'm just happy all that was asked of me was cheese dip.

Housing a baby in ones body is such a huge thing, that if the one who is literally growing your child inside of them doesn't want junk food around because they can't eat it, then it's reasonable to expect you be discreet and not keep it around. The fact he's trying to turn it into that he's got trauma about not being able to have access to the junk foods as a child is an excuse to keep doing this is gross and he needs to step back. He legit threatened his pregnant partner with divorce over this.

Yes, gestational diabetes can become type 2 diabetes. It's a very high percentage, too, though I don't recall exactly. Somewhere between 25 and 50% maybe.

Around half of women in the USA who have gestational diabetes will develop Type 2 diabetes later in life, especially if the woman does not attempt to mitigate her other avoidable risk factors, such as being overweight, or having a high-sugar, low fibre diet.

If you have gestational diabetes they will check to make sure it's gone at around the 2 month post-partum point, and then recommend you get checked out for Type 2 every year afterwards.

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Girlfriend (25f) angry when I(27m) ordered myself food and wouldn't share despite her refusing to order anything?


quote:

This week I had a minor examination at hospital that required me to not eat for 24 hours prior to the test. My appointment was also delayed by 4 hours so by the time it was done and by the time I got home it was over 32-34 hours since I had eaten anything.

Because of this I was very hungry and tired so I decided to order some food. I asked my gf if she wanted anything but she said no. My gf said she'd rather cook than order out but I said I'd prefer a takeaway so we can just have separate meals.

She said she'd rather we both just cooked but I again refused and told her I'm ordering myself food. I ordered the food and she decided to not cook and just said she didn't want anything.

Once my food came I was sat eating and she came over and asked if she could have some. I asked if she was serious. I pointed out I asked her multiple times if she wanted anything and she's waited for me to sit and enjoy my food to try and take it.

I mentioned that I've ordered exactly what I was because of how hungry I am but she just said she was hungry too since she hadn't eaten. I mentioned that the only reason she hadn't eaten was because I didn't want to cook for her and that doesn't mean she can come and take my food instead.

I said if she wants something to eat she can either order herself something or cook it but I'm not sharing what I ordered.

She said I was being too selfish and that I have enough to share so I should be fine sharing with her. She said she's not asking for much and that I'm being unfair but I don't see how I am since I offered to order her something multiple times. How would you handle this?

tl;dr my girlfriend declined my offer to order her some food and said she'd rather cook. When I still chose to order myself food, she decided not to cook and then tried to take the food I had ordered for myself. When I refused to share she said I was being too selfish and should be fine to share it. How would you handle this?

I don't think after a hospital visit mandated 30h fasting session is an appropriate time for lovely tiktok tests. Er, not that there's an appropriate time for them at all
