As you all know my husband has an issue with my weight and our sex life has suffered. Several months ago I decided to try a smoothie diet and it worked ok. I lost about 10 lbs. I asked my husband at that time did he want to do it with me and he said no. A few months later I did the smoothie diet again and lost more weight. Although I didn't really change my eating habits so the weight sort of came back. Well, today y husband and I were about to go shopping and he made a list. While in the store he bought a lot of bananas, frozen fruit, coconut milk, kale, ground flak seeds, and a few other things. I assumed he was buying them for me. Low and behold when we got home he put the fruit and things away and I asked him if he was making us a smoothie. He looked at me and said, "no, that was for me." At that point I became very upset. I just assumed that he was buying those items for us when all the while he was only buying them for himself. Last year when I asked him to do the smoothie diet with me he declined. Now all of a sudden he wants to do it. He didn't understand why I was angry. He looked at me and said, "when did WE have the discussion that I was going to buy stuff for US to get back on the smoothie diet?" He then said that when I bought all my stuff months ago not one time did he make a smoothie for himself. So why would I assume that because he was buying this stuff was it for the both of us. Am I wrong to think that he wasn't thinking about me and only about himself. He said that he'd like to begin loosing some weight. Was I wrong to get mad?

Yes.
Either divorce him or get therapy.
Weekly whines about how you are slighted solves nothing....

Oh my god. Why didn't you simply ask him why he was buying all those things in the store?

I almost can't believe that you two are married. COMMUNICATION, people!!!

I would just let him do his thing, and you do yours!

Go buy your own fruit, nuts, etc. problem solved.

Well he certainly appears to be not the most thoughtful person

But what I don't understand is why does everything evolves around him..... " he bought this , he wants that, he he he " etc? Surely you should make your own choices/ decisions? I'm sure at the least that will save you from arguing and getting mad over trivial things .

Best advice do you're thing and let him do his

You guys just don't understand. I want us to be a couple but he feels that couples don't need to do everything together. I went on my diet and he was fine with that but I asked him if he wanted to do it with me. Now that he's starting his I thought he was doing it for us and not just him. What kind of man only thinks about himself?

Lol...not touching this one.

The most I will say is your issues come from feeling you don't feel heard. If that's the case start speaking up and stop assuming so much from other people
