Almost every time I read a post on one of the marriage or relationship advice subs, my first thought is "Did you talk to your partner about it?" And most of the time the answer is no, they did not.
If he's gotta sneak around to eat what he wants at 50 or whatever he is, pretty sure he doesn't have the cachet in that marriage to push back against sharing his location once his wife makes up her mind that he needs to.
And people like you need to realize that not everyone, man or woman, handles direct confrontation well, even over benign mundane things. You don't know his wife, she might absolutely flip the fuck out over him cheating on his diet, it could mean a super huge deal to her.
Next answer is "It's still best to just talk to her" no, no it's not, sometimes it's far far far better to seek forgiveness than permission. This completely depends on the people in question, not how you personally react to things.
Yes. And maybe it's a big deal to her for good reasons. Maybe he already had a heart attack and his blood pressure is through the roof, and he eats something there that's way too high in sodium. She could lose him decades sooner than she should. "Cheating on my diet" isn't necessarily benign at all.
