What would you do if your husband told your mother in law there is no dinner to eat at his house?

Question

yet there is a fridge full of food,,and a well stocked pantry!!

I told him He can move back into his mothers house if he expects to be spoon fed,..I'm so over it..

Do you think it's time for a divorce?

Answer 1

I think he sounds like a momas boy and you need to remind him that he isn't married to his moma and you are not moma and if he is hungery, feel free to get off his *** and cook a meal!!!!

Answer 2

Beat him and send him packing back to mommy's house. what a pansy.

Answer 3

Like my husband, your husband considers any kind of food that he actually has to prepare himself as non-existant.  We fought over meat loaf last night because I didn't cover it after I fed the kids and so he wouldn't eat it.  I hate him today:(

My other favorite part of this issue is when they are like, "what do we have to eat" like I have some inventory check list in my frickin head.  GET UP AND LOOK IDIOT!!

I'm normally very positive, but I am very easily irritated by people that would rather STARVE to death then get off their but and make something.  I have 6 kids and I work, so as long as the kids  eat I don't really care what he has to eat.  I prepare meals in advance and actually put them in little single serving bowls with lids so the family can grab what they want when they want.  My 9 year old son has a grasp on the concept but apparently his father is retarded.

You should email me so we can have a ***** fest!!!!

Answer 4

Divorce?

Over that?

Woman.....you have no knack when it comes to being inventive.

Let him prepare his own dinner. Your problem is that you aren't thinking outside the box. When you put down dry food for a dog and he sniffs it, looks at you and turns away know what you do? You leave the food. He'll eat when he's hungry.

Same with the Momma's Boy you've wed. When he gets good and hungry and comes to the realization you're not going to be flipping eggs for him perhaps he'll learn how to use a can opener or boil water.

Answer 5

I would tell him to go stay with mommy if he did not like the food  

Answer 6

Probably.

Answer 7

He wants you to cook his dinner, not tell him where the ingredients are.

No, it is not time for a divorce, it is time to talk.

Answer 8

I would tell him that when he shows me his two broken legs and his two broken arms, THEN he will have an excuse to expect other people to wait on him.  But divorcing somebody over being a whiner?  Give me a break.  I mean, you surely already knew he was a whiner when you married him.

Answer 9

Are you seriously considering divorce because you don't cook?  wow.  I think you have some issues of your own.

Answer 10

I don't think him saying that to his mother is grounds for divorce.   If his mom is at your house I am sure she is aware  of the food issue.  I would not let his comment upset me.  He is a grown man and can either request you pick up certain food he likes or go to the store.

You need to ask yourself why this stupid remark he made has gotten you so upset?  

My husband gets home from work 2 hours before I do.  He is capable of heating something in the microwave or making a sandwich.  You might want to ask your husband why he feels there is no food when the fridge is stocked as well as the pantry?  

Good luck.  

Answer 11

Thankfully, my mother-in-law would tell him to get off his butt and make dinner.

Answer 12

I would call the Mother in Law and ask her over so she could see her son was a liar.  He probably is use to having casseroles made for him and lots of left overs but he needs to grow up and if you work outside of the home then he can go shopping and cook as well.

Answer 13

It's so sad how we always put the ME first.  

Answer 14

Wow, I think you both need to grow up a bit, if you're willing to divorce your husband over something as trivial as the amount of food in the house.

Answer 15

OK well that is no call for a divorce.. thats a very ridiculus reason to divorce him specially if you love him.

talk to him about it.. tell him that he is no longer living with his mother and that your problems should be kept between the both of you. that if he wants dinner that he can cook it or ask you to make it for him if you have the time.

Answer 16

Not only should you divorce him I think you should have him killed, TWICE.

Answer 17

You mean there is food there, but he has to cook for himself because youe refuse to?

Your divorcing your husband over that?

Maybe heneeds to get a divorce so he can get someone who will cook for him?

Or did you marry someone who doesn't like your cooking?

Or did you marry someone  really infantile?

If so, WHY did you marry him?There MUST have been warning signs hon.

Answer 18

Divorce...come on.  He is a man that goes home to mom and does the mommy and son thing.  God, my husband goes to his mother's and you'd think it was his last supper.  He was probably just joking around a bit.  I have a son, who is the same way with me.  It is a mom/son thing.

Divorce is a bit harsh.

Answer 19

Divorce? Not necessarily, but it is time for mama's boy to grow up a bit. If he's incapable of cooking when there's a house full of food, then he should either fork over the cash for a dinner at a restaurant or eat for free at mom's. If she brings it up to you, ask her to set a place for two if she's so concerned.

Answer 20

I think he should learn to cook
