Should I Say My Husband Is Complaining? - NoCV
Good day everyone. Please I need your advice on this because I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. In my new place of work, they give us food every afternoon. It’s part of the company’s welfare package, and everyone looks forward to it. The food is always delicious and balanced, rice one day, swallow the next, sometimes even fruit after. Since I resumed, I’ve been eating like everyone else, and gradually I noticed I’ve started adding a little bit of weight. Now, this is where the problem started. My husband is not happy about the weight I am adding. He said it will give people the impression that we are doing well, and he doesn’t want that. According to him, when people think you are comfortable, they stop helping you and start meeting you for help instead. So he said I should always find a way to decline the food they give me at work. At first, I didn’t want to cause issues, so I started telling my colleagues that I was fasting. But it’s been weeks now, and they are beginning to suspect something. They keep asking questions because I used to eat before, but suddenly I just stopped. Some even think I’m having health issues. I’m beginning to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable lying every day. I’m also tired of pretending to be fasting when I’m not. But if I start eating again, my husband will get angry. Please, what should I do? Should I tell my colleagues that it’s my husband that’s complaining, or should I just continue pretending?
