My Husband Only Thinks of Himself – He Eats Everything in Sight, Leaving Nothing Even for Our Son “Adam, where have the bananas gone?” I ask my husband. “I ate them, I fancied a snack,” he says. “Couldn’t you have saved just one for our son’s tea?” “You’re making a fuss over nothing. It’s not like you can’t buy bananas at the shop.” “Then pop out and get more, please.” “I’ve got the football match on – how can I go?” This is constant in our family: fromage frais, biscuits, apples – I even have to hide food or else our son might go hungry with a dad like this. We’ve been married for five years. Our son’s nearly two. We’re paying off our mortgage, so money’s tight. My husband claims he’s the breadwinner for getting us this house, but really, he just sold his one-bedroom flat for the deposit, and my parents helped too. My mum says Adam is so selfish. I kind of agree. One time we were getting ready for a birthday do. I was cooking for guests, and there he was, hovering, emptying dishes. Worst was the cake – I left it on the balcony because there was no fridge space, brought it in to slice up, only to find there was just a bit of decorated chocolate left. Imagine how embarrassed I was. This happens all the time. Yes, he works, but surely he could think of others. His only excuse: “We’ll just buy more – don’t stress!” Fine, don’t care about me, but how can you not care about your own child? Especially when we don’t have lots of money and I’m trying to budget. We can eat a month’s worth of food in a week. “Why are you going on at him? He’s a man, let him eat. He earns the money. Don’t nag, just cook more,” his mum says, defending him. Funny thing is, no matter how much I cook, it’s never enough for him – he’ll eat everything. There’s no question of buying more with the mortgage, clothes and other bills to pay. In the end, I told my husband that if he did it again, I’d divorce him. We’ll split the flat and go our separate ways. He sulked, whined to his mum, and now my mother-in-law won’t even speak to me. But I honestly think I’m right. What would you do?
My husband only ever thinks about himself, Emily confessed, her words laced with frustration as she stood
