1. cabbage is very gassy so get some beano or gas X.
2. cabbage 3 nights a week? No way!
3. husband telling you what to eat? No way!
4. No meat in the house? Not fair to those who eat it and like it.
5. Let him cook is own vegan dishes while you enjoy a nice thick juicy steak
6. eat what you like and let him eat what he likes
7. If all else fails get a divorce LOL.
No one should dictate who or what you eat that's just ridiculous. Come home with a thick and juicy bacon cheeseburger and eat it in front of him. I am not mocking vegans but he has no right to tell you what to eat.
Three days of boiled cabbage sounds like some kind of a 'cleanse' to me, or eating cabbage soup used to be a popular diet fad so maybe it's an attempt to drop a quick 5 pounds.
If you are familiar with OP's post history, she is not overweight. If anything, she is thin. His fad diet should not be her problem.
Nope. Read the OP's previous thread (there are more and all very strange).
The nicest way to sum it up is that OP's husband isn't an adventurous eater, but very demanding and manipulative.
He just wants to eat lentils, rice, and onions, and now cabbage. He also demands that she eats it too (she is not vegetarian)...
Can't wait for OP to chime in a let us know what he eats now, so we can make useful recommendations.
I read that thread, and I think he needs a new cook and she needs a divorce lawyer. His diet isn't healthy by any standard, not even that of the strictest vegan.

Classic example:
What's for dinner? (Food forum), and OP's answer is...
Whoa I forgot about this thread. Yeah I didn't end up eating cabbage all three nights, though he of course threw a hissy fit.
Basically he thinks that if we eat anything other than a spartan vegan diet, we'll both die within 5 years guaranteed. We're in our late 20s...
I usually tell him to go stuff a tofurkey and eat what I want (and I'm not a huge meat or cheese eater anyway, so yeah), but sometimes I relent if I'm really not in the mood to argue.

He needs some therapy and/or a visit with a registered dietician. I’m not kidding, it might help him a lot. If he’s going to be a health nut, he should at least arm himself with some facts.

I'm glad you had something better than plain cabbage those three nights.
It sounds to me like hubster needs some kind of help with his anxiety issues. I am not a vegan, or even a vegetarian, but I promise you I could create meals that would satisfy either of those criteria without resorting to such a bland, flavorless, and unbalanced diet. What's up with his objection to more variety: different vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, fruits, oils, herbs and spices, etc? He's not eating more healthily, he's doing penance to ward off his fears, and demanding that you go along for the ride.

He's very picky, even for a vegan lol. He hates tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini or any kind of squash, bok choy, coconut, vegan meat/dairy substitutes, vinegar, cucumber, olives, among many other things.
I'm working on it with him (both encouraging him to try new foods and not complaining so much when I eat something other than his gruel), but my god... I imagine this is what having toddlers is like. lmao
