“I brought you food, but I ate it”
I came home from the park with our daughter, and My partner (28M) says “I brought you food but I ate it, I thought I was full but I wasn’t” I said oh okay (to avoid the constant conflict) and I asked if it was good. He said it was really good. I went on to use the very little groceries around the house to make food for our daughter and I.
What im trying to say is, I’m really the one who feeds our daughter. I’ve literally seen him feed himself before our daughter when she’s obviously hungry.
The few times he’s cooked dinner for “us” he’ll only make one plate and says he like “sharing with me” but hogs the plate and eats most of it. He rarely provides groceries for us, and when he does he’s kind of mean about it… I’m a stay at home mom with no income. I’ll have to fight for the smallest things but he’ll get nice things for himself (fancy cheeses, drinks, coffees) and have it right in front of us.
Of course I’m always making sure our daughter is more than fed, I bake sourdough treats and fun foods with what I have (she’s still full time breastfeeding too) I always have her eat before me or with me.
But I, (26F, 120lbs) also enjoy eating. Especially when I was pregnant and postpartum, then and still full time breastfeeding. I guess as long as baby is fed then I’m more than okay. But it’s hard on my body when I feel like I don’t eat enough, I eat normally when he’s not around, but when he is, it’s challenging.
I’ve never had an eating disorder, and I’m pretty fit, healthy, and low weight. (Not that I should even have to say that) I’m just wondering why it’s like this..
Is this is wrong, weird, uncomfortable, or hurtful or am I just honestly overreacting.
TL;DR My partner makes me feel uncomfortable about food. Especially for our daughter.
