Scenario

When in-laws trigger eating disorder behaviors and your partner doesn't see it

My mother-in-law constantly comments on what I eat and makes suggestions about my weight, and my husband either doesn't notice or doesn't know how to handle it. I'm starting to dread family dinners and avoiding visits, but when I try to talk to him about it, he says she means well and I'm being too sensitive.

More people experience this than they realize.
