Dieting is challenging enough as is. The least a spouse could do is support the person on a diet, as long as the diet isn't a toxic trend. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP's husband was anything but supportive of helping her maintain her weight. He didn't enjoy the diet meal plan she purchased for herself, so he threw it all out when she wasn't home, claiming that she was wasting their money. Obviously, throwing out food is wasting money in itself but logic isn't this dude's forte. Scroll down for the details.

    Font - AITA for yelling at my husband for throwing out all of my diet food? I(29F) struggled with weight my entire life, I weighed over 200 when I graduated high school and it went up during college. I did not grow up in the best family life, my parents worked crazy hours and the only food that they could feed my

    Font - brother and I was junk and fast food. After I graduated from college, I decided to join a gym and eat healthier. I lost most of the weight that I gained throughout the years and plan on keeping it off.

    Font - One of my friends suggested a diet plan that provides breakfast, lunch and dinner meals that are portioned sized. There are also snacks and deserts that are provided. The meals come frozen, but once heated up, they are absolutely delicious. The plan is not cheap, but I do feel that a structured diet is best for me. When we go out to eat, I do order a meal that I enjoy. My husband tried one of the dinner meals and found it to be disgusting. He thinks that I am just wasting money on the foo

    Font - I came home one evening after work and saw all my meals opened in the garbage bin. When my husband came home, I started yelling at him that he should not have thrown away good food. He looks at me and says I did a good thing for you, now you can start eating regular non processed foods. He thinks I should not have reacted the way I did, and he was only trying to help save me money.

    Font - lostalldoubt86 · 13 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [10] NTA- He owes you the cost of the wasted food. Is this the only way he tries to control you? I don't want to overthink this, but where there is one controlling behavior, you can usually find a number of them.

    Human body - Acceptable-Wing3656 OP · 13 hr. ago I think it's also because he hates the food and hates the fact that I don't eat the food he purchases.

    Font - No-Jellyfish-1208 · 13 hr. ago Judge, Jury, and Excretioner [353] Oh my. Judging from that comment and the other one you wrote, it sounds as if he's trying to sabotage all the effort you're making. Disrupting your diet plan, trying to make you cancel the gym membership... That's quite bad. Is he THAT controlling, or is he insecure (as in, he thinks "slimmer you" won't stay with him)?
