Today, my wife is so determined to keep me on my diet that, as I'm off work for the next week, she has gotten rid of all the food in the house. She has also taken the phones and iPads so I can't order a takeaway, and taken all my trousers so I can't walk to the shops. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my husband decided that if he's not hungry, then I'm not allowed to make myself any food. FML

Today, to keep me from "getting fatter", my roommate raided the kitchen. She ate everything from cookies and ice cream to deli meat. The only thing left in the house are vegetables. FML

Affection breakdown

By Anonymous - 19/12/2020 13:02 - United Kingdom - Boston

Today, my wife can't be bothered to do anything that isn't work, talk about her work, and sit on the sofa. Then she complains that I don't show any affection, when she can be bothered to even talk to me. FML

Today, my wife is giving me the silent treatment and has locked herself in the bedroom, all because I politely asked her to put the dishcloth away when she was done with it. FML

Stir crazy, part 16

Today, my wife was so sick of being isolated with the kids while I, a key worker, got to "escape" to work everyday, that she locked herself in our room and got completely trashed on my cider, meaning I had to stay at home with the kids instead of helping my elderly patients. FML

Sounds like a plan

By Billybob - 28/07/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, I was meal-planning for the week, and sent my fiancee a grocery list with the stuff I needed. She ignored the list and bought nothing but junk food. I guess we can just eat cookie dough and sugar cereal, and die of diabetes in our fifties. FML

No fun allowed

Today, my wife has declared that, unless our son has finished his homework, I'm not to watch TV, play video games, read, use my phone, cook, or go outside, lest I "tempt him" to leave his work unfinished. Guess I'll just stare at the wall all afternoon. FML

Today, in a serious bid to lose weight, I’ve changed my lifestyle, including throwing away the 20-odd takeaway menus we keep in the kitchen. It’s only been two hours and we’ve already had five new menus from local takeaways delivered through the letterbox. Why, Universe, why do you wish me to stay fat? FML

Today, I found out that my wife has been getting rid of every single item of clothing I didn’t compliment her on. This has probably cost me thousands already. FML

Today, my husband told me that he thinks I am getting a little heavy and may need to lay off the junk food. The ultrasound is hanging on our fridge. FML

I wonder if your wife is super controlling or if you have demonstrated a severe lack of self control •_•

She is controlling either way. Being married doesn't give her the right to dictate his diet. Even if he started the diet, he has a right to change his mind. Taking food out of the house, and articles of clothing to keep him in the house, is abusive behavior. If you don't agree, just change the pronouns.

#45 - it is also possible that OP is morbidly obese and could die and his wife is trying to force him to be healthy and keep him around.

Dude, his wife wrote the fml and she's coming to kick your ass for your suggestion.

You know that all of the FMLs start with "Today", right? This story, most likely, happened some time ago.

Most places say "no shirt, no shoes, no service". Doesn't say anything about pants...

Wrap a towel or robe around yourself, hop in the car and drive to get food. Get healthy food and you'll be rewarding yourself for staying on track. As for your wife, I would suggest a serious chat with her. That's not a healthy practice for any marriage.
