Since I’ve been with my husband for 7 years now, I’ve always done all of the cooking, meal prep, packing of his lunches, etc. I always pack him an elaborate lunch every single day and make sure dinner is on the table by the time he gets home. I work 40 hours a week but he works a more physically demanding job than I do so I took on more home responsibilities because of it.

However, my husband has started some diet that I know nothing about, some kind of gluten free keto vegan diet. I’m fine with it, but I told him I’d rather he just pack his lunches from now on and buy his groceries because I have no idea what to buy for him, and I’m not interested in going on this diet with him so it would be too much for me to make 2 separate meals. I told him if he could send me recipes I’d be happy to still cook us dinner or pack his lunch but that I don’t know where to start on researching this diet so he needs to send me stuff if he wants me to do it.

My husband blew up at me and said it’s my job as his wife to research this diet and meal plan accordingly, he said it’s unfair of me to expect him to start cooking for himself when he’s never done it before. I told him he’s the one that wants to go on this diet so he needs to take responsibility for his own meals. He didn’t show up for dinner last night out of anger, didn’t respond to any of my texts or calls and ended up coming home wasted at 2am with no explanations.
