Is anybody else's spouse like this?

[Abdulinlove 1]

My wife is so stingy that is bothers me so much. We are at the table and the servings she makes are super small.she is not calorie conscious.i have told her many times to make enough food so that the person at the table wants another serving they can get it.she never understands that.she hoards food and saves everything to be eaten later.you only get one serving,period.it offends me really.i have told her about this so many times but she repeats the same thing over and over.she buys something special from the store and tell me i will put this away for now. we can use it at such and such occassion.i have never seen anybody like this before.please heklp.

Do u think she would ever change? because this is not cool.

Doubt it. It would take very serious effort on HER part to change that.

Maybe offer to do the cooking, then you can make more...

Where is you wife from? This and her life's experiences may have conditioned her to be this way. It can be overcome if she wants.

I try to cook and shes right there in the kitchen with me.if i start out by cutting tomatoes she goes like omg that;s a lot of tomatoes. it feels like she just loves hoarding.we bought some nice wine the other day we got some and i wanted some more but she put it back in the refrigerator.i am not fat and not greedy but at times i want more food cos it's delicous but she does not understand that.

Where is your wife from???

[Golden Gate 530]

I had a friend like that growing up. When I stayed at her house, she would make such a small portion of food, I was hungry the whole time I was there. Really isn't a nice feeling. If you can't talk to her about it, maybe you need to seek help from a third party to get her to understand.

[Chynna/gapamix 11]

Yup sounds like it is your turn do the cooking. Although I can understand where she is coming from. I know people like this and it is very tough to change the behavior. They come from a place where waste is not an option.

[Abdulinlove 1]

tried everything but nothing works.i am do tired of this ####.she shows as if she's changed and then it's back to square one.i am married to an american lady that has spanish ancestary.

[Abdulinlove 1]

because of her weird behaviour it scares me to bring guests home.that would be pretty embarassing.

Portions in America are drastically bigger than other countries.

It's why obesity is rampant in the USA

You must be the USC!

[Abdulinlove 1]

As the saying goes, a mans gotta eat!!! I know with spanish lunch time is usually the biggest meal of the day and dinner is like lunch time (something small).
