Dom,it is true that no one shoves food down your throat, or forces you to do anything. However, people do cope with problems with food, alcohol, etc. This often leads to addictions. It is not always a person's fault. Some people truly cannot cope with their problems any other way. It is a medical issue. It is really cruel to belittle them for it. It is no one's buisness but their own. It does not make them a bad person. No one is perfect and flawless, so it is really sad you seem to have such disdain for those who are suffering. Ponygirl, I think everything you said in response to your husbands comments was great.You did not belittle him or call him a judgemental jerk. You gave another view. Maybe if you keep it up it will change his thinking. Doing that really does work. When I have become aggravated with certain situations and my husband has responded similarly, it has caused me to look at the other side of the story. It sounds like your husband is very insecure in his own skin and that is why he deflects the attention to others.
There is always hope if I'm responsible for my own behavior.
