"I knew my marriage was over when my husband stopped eating my food" - Jill Scott.

Jill tells the UK Guardian
"One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food. He was pissed (off) for other reasons, but the best way to show me was by leaving what I'd made for him uneaten for days on the kitchen counter. It was a smack in the face.
Maybe the food wasn't well cooked? lol, kidding. Is this one of the ways to know your marriage is almost over; when your husband stops eating your food?

  1. If nothing else, its definitely a sign that something is up. Especially if this (or any other) behavior change is seemingly unprovoked.

  3. He must be eating somewhere else if he is not eating your food.

  4. African men do that when they are angry with their woman. I'd do it, though, if McTurkey / KFC / Burger King tasted better than her burnt offering.

  5. this is serious! nothing to be kidding about. each woman sees the relationship her way. That's how she felt. when you try to make something for the other person and that person does not at least appreciate the effort it means it's over

  6. No two marriages are the same! regardless of the similarities there may be, every marriage has its own unique 'pillars'. For me, the day my husband stops touching me is the day our pillar crumbles...

    So plsssss this one isnt a laffing matter at all... at least to Jill.

  7. marriages are not all the same. I am so sorry that her marriage didn't work. for me my husband doesn't eat much so its not about him not eating my food.
    But at least Jill's husband should have tried not to leave the food on the counter for days..Haba

  10. @Nonye - word!!! i'm an excellent cook...he raves about my food, his friends and family do too when they have an opprotunity to eat with us...so yes, it is a major thing for us..

    infact, it's like a taboo where i come from, u dont refuse ur wife's food...the only and only time hubby tried it, he saw my 'red eye' for the 1st time ever...and he learnt his lesson cos he did not smell food for days after...now, we understand ourselves

    that you tlk abt any issues you may have and not try to 'punish' anybody...so yes, it is major sign that something's wrong

    I'm a nigerian and i live in nigeria. My husband used to do that a lot any time we have a misunderstanding and it used to hurt me so much. As time went on however and the children came, it stopped carrying the sort of emotional impact it used to carry then cos my kids would happily eat what i gave them without noticing what was amiss and that used to be such a salve to my frayed nerves. Now my kids are grown (teens) and when he gets in that mode, i simply feel no pain. I still ask him every morning before i leave for work if i should make breakfast for him and same in the evening when he returns, and to his answers of "No" I laugh in my heart cos at nearly 20 yrs of marriage, if he hasn't realised that that strategy doesnt work anymore, it's his cup of tea. Don't get me wrong, i still love my husband very much but that emotional weapon Nigerian or should i say black men in general always use to get back at their wives can only work for so long. I still dont get it how they never realise that applying the same principle of dialogue which they use at their work places to resolve conflicts will ALSO work in their homes. Over-grown babies all of them.

  12. magical spells really work!! I never thought there were still honest, genuine, trustworthy and very powerful spell casters until i met the spiritual helper, ayeomoni ajolaye. last week he did a love spell for me and it worked effectively and now he just casted another healing spell for my friend who has fibroid and now she is totally free and she is presently the happiest person on earth, she keeps thanking me all day..
    I just thought it would be good to tell the whole world about his good work and how genuine he is, i wasn't thinking i could get any help because of my past experiences with other fake casters who could not bring my husband back to me and they all promised heaven and earth and all they are able to do is ask for more money all the time until i met with this man. he does all spells, Love spells, money spells, lottery spells e.t.c i wish i can save every one who is in those casters trap right now because i went though hell thinking and hoping they could help me.i recommend ayeomoni ajolaye for any kind of help you want.
    his email address is: nativedoctor101@live.com
    if you want to ask me anything my e-mail is: jannet_madeson@yahoo.com
    Kind Regards,
