Husband won’t eat vegetables?

Question

Needing some advice ladies. 
My husband has a lot of issues. One of the main ones that has been really frustrating is the fact that my husband doesn’t eat vegetables. 
It didn’t really bother me for a long time because We would eat unhealthy together a lot. But the past 6-8 months I’ve been begging him to eat healthy with me. 
He says he will.. but when the time comes if I try to ask him to try something new he gets upset and frustrated. 
I have to cook dinner every night I want to cook healthier food for my toddler and I. If I don’t cook him something he will eat he goes out and gets fast food (we can’t afford this)
The only things he will eat are, meat, bread, potatoes, cheese, and noodles. 
We have tried over and over again to come to a resolve but to know avail.
Not sure where else to turn at this point. 
We are trying to get into therapy now for some other issues but the process is taking a while.

Answer

I mean you can't really control what he likes to eat. Simply make him make his own food. He needs to buy groceries that he will eat and discuss with him that you can't constantly afford fast food

Answer

So then he makes his own meals from now on. He can do his own shopping for his meals and make them himself. You need to teach the children to eat healthy. But you cant make your man child eat vegtables so he can make his own meals

Answer

You can’t force him to eat stuff he doesn’t like

Answer

Start sneaking vegetables in stuff and find ways to make it not visible to the eye if that makes sense and just don’t tell him the veggies are in it. I don’t like *certain* vegetables due to the texture but if they’re mixed in something where I can’t tell then I will eat it all day. 
Other than that you can’t force him to eat something he doesn’t want to. But he needs to be finding food at home for other options if you can’t afford the fast food!

Answer

If he doesn’t like it then cook him something he does like. You stated he likes meat pasta and some other things so make those?

Answer

Make a paste of all vegetables and put it in a burger as a sauce or put some in rice may be it will work ....hope so

Answer

Tell him to make his own food then.

Answer

My son and I are like this to a certain degree, there are very few vegetables we’ll eat (it’s a sensory issue for both of us). So we’ll make a meat for the main and sometimes we have a side we all like and sometimes my husband has broccoli and my son and I have rice, or a microwaved baked potato, or instant mashed potatoes.  You can’t make him eat something he doesn’t want to, but there are no effort sides you could add to the meal so that he’ll eat at home.

Answer

I get where your coming from my dad grew up not eating veggies as an adult he started eating unhealthy (hot dogs, fast food, not nutritious good) he started getting ulcers and having stomach problems which sadly lead to his death, he wasn't that old.

Answer

How about not trying to control what he eats.. you sound like you’re treating him like a child by telling him to eat his veggies when that’s a decision he can make as a grown man..
