I agree with the person who said this was deliberate punishment for being sick. Absolutely divorce his worthless a*s.

Who the hell was the 1% in the poll who said the wife should communicate her needs more clearly??

I’m confused, the title said man. I didn’t see anything resembling a man in anything I read. Loser, little boy, pathetic coward etc. those would be more appropriate descriptions

My ex husband was controlling. Then I got sick and he became abusive. I'm disabled from the illness but glad to be rid of him. Illness brings out the worst in people. If you don't die or get well within two years they lose their s**t.

So, he ate all your food for no reason other than lazy, knowing what it was for. Then he lies to you to pin it on the kid. I suppose you could be a dumbass and stay, if you want the rest of your life to look like this.,

Good Lord what an evil man

That's f'king cold.

A disgusting man child, abusive and entitled. He doesn't give s**t about his wife. A toddler might behave like that, not a grown-up man, and I feel it was intentional. Huge relationship issues there, too late for counselling (since he doesn't see any issue with it). It's not just an occasional mistake that could be fixed, it's repeated abuse. Divorce the bastard asap.

Her special diet food sounds unappetizing. Only an idiot would steal them

There's an update: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmIOverreacting/comments/1fui858/update_aio_my_husband_ate_my_food/

Checked the update on reddit she stayed with him 🤯🤯🤯

He waits until she's at her most vulnerable, deliberately sabotages her recovery, then shows "disgust" and insults her when she gets upset. The guy is pure evil.

This goes beyond weaponized incompetence, it's attempted murder.

I believe that this husband DELIBERATELY threw out his wife's food. Always believe someone's actions over their words!

Holy s**t I had to stop reading after the way he reacted to her crying. Fuuuuuuck this guy. Kick his a*s out.

100% onboard for divorcing his a*s. Or at least make him sleep outside in the dirt like the selfish pig he is.

I'm astonished that she had to do all that stuff. Why didn't that a*****e help out?

Dear Husband, Ba-Bye! Your hubs is a sociopath. I had rounds chemo, a feeding tube coming out of my stomach, liquid diet only, going in for hydration through my port 5 days a week. Fainted during 3 showers as well as other times & so on. Literally too much to list. Thank the good Lord above my husband is nothing like yours. We've been together going on 48 yrs & to be honest I don't see that in your future with this fool. I'm sorry you went through this. Your husband is a sociopathic man-child.

This guy obviously doesn't care about her at all. Divorce is entirely reasonable, this guy sounds like a malicious narcissist. Yeah, we all say "Divorce!" on these posts, but seriously?? His response to her pain and exhaustion post surgery is not to support her and care for her, but to steal her food?? He's not even just not helping, he's deliberately taking away what she prepared to be able to help herself recover. This is outright abuse, and I hope she has family or friends she can call to help her.

HE IS A MASSIVE POS, AND HE IS YOUR ENEMY, NOT YOUR PARTNER!! DEFINITELY DIVORCE HIM!!!

What's with these poll options? None of them go far enough - where's divorce?

Jeebus, who sets the poll options? Wishy-washy blah. Divorce his àss.

i wouldn't trust anything he "made" to actually be helpful for her.. he needs OUT.. she needs a trusted friend or other family member to come over and help cook for her (with her supervision to make sure everything meets her current dietary needs, but them doing the actual work portion of it...) it is so hard not only having dietary restrictions, but then health issues on top of it... i've not had this exact situation, but I do have restrictions and health issues that sometimes make things difficult to get thru the day.. thankfully my husband helps where he can and does not make things harder for me..

Update (found on r/BestofRedditorUpdates) Background/answers: The freezer food was for the next stage of the surgery. It was suggested that he might have thrown them out, but he "danced around the answer, so it might have been a bit of the two". OP had health issues when they got married & he knew that & OP manages the house. AH is annoyed she can't do outside activities with him, but she still makes an effort to spend time with him. While he does have some resentment for her condition, he has never done anything like this before.

Not entirely sure how long OP been married to that AH but if there's a life insurance policy for her & he's a beneficiary then change it ASAP. Sounds like he was not expecting OP to survive the surgery & purposely want to make the condition worse. If you do divorce, with all your energy first find out if he have a mistress since the sudden change in his behavior.

... how did you get married to this failure?

This man hates you. This was intentional and malicious. Get rid of him. What he did could have led to infection, illness, and even death if not for your son. That's criminal. Get far, far away from him before he takes it to another level. There's no love there.

For the short term, have your mother or sister or friend come stay to look after you. For the long term, divorce this abuser.

wtf?! As someone who recently went through surgery, 2 weeks is NOT enough time to recover from a major abdominal surgery. Try something closer to a few months, if not longer. Husband here is a major jackass who deserves his balls chopping off, liquified, and then fed to him if he wants variety in his food so damn much.

My answer to poll question: therapy/counselling would be a waste of time and money. File for divorce ASAP.
