Harriette Cole: My husband has become insufferable about what we should eat

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:31 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: It took 20 years to get my husband to get a colonoscopy. Now he has done it, and all he seems to be able to do is harp on what we should and should not be eating. He read up about the benefits of having a clean colon and can’t stop talking about it.Of course it is smart to eat healthy, and I know that. What I can’t stand is his holier-than-thou attitude.I can’t tell you how often I tried to cut down on red meat in the past, only to have him demand more meat on the table. Now, all of a sudden, he realizes that this is a good idea.How can I have a better attitude about him waking up to healthy eating? Right now, I am fuming because he is demanding things I have encouraged him to do for years but, of course, with no acknowledgment of my prompts.Eat WellDEAR EAT WELL: Sometimes we don’t get credit when it is due. It often takes someone outside our immediate family or friend group to open our eyes to what should be obvious.Related ArticlesAdvice | ...

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said early Monday that First Republic Bank’s 84 branches in eight states will reopen as branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank and depositors will have full access to all of their deposits.Regulators worked through the wee...
