Gee this "feed me right" thing is vaster than I'd imagined. My best pal H's H, D lists that as his biggest marital dissatisfaction.

Mind you the guy is genetically wired to require 6,000 - 7,000 calories a day (to maintain a lean, muscular and very tall figure...damn him! )...AND he's a somewhat fussy eater.

But somehow I'm quite sure that IF she met this need consistently, she'd find him more amenable in other situations.

It bugs the heck out of her, as she doesn't recall signing on as cook when they married as teens! But HIS mom waited on the boys hand and foot no doubt shaping their love maps in this direction.

And for what it's worth, it could well be that your H was grumpy later in the day because feeling so good earlier runs counter to how he's "supposed to be feeling", if he really wants "out".

So you return and he FINDS something to confirm his stance..."See...she's still not feeding S right!"...

Roast sounds good!!! Why leave him this last, ridiculous thing to hang it all on!!
