I just got a break for the first time today and have to admit it's been a day. I made a lot of food today; a plate of healthy fruits and vegetables for my beloved, egg, potato, and ham breakfast burritos for him, with rice pilaf and tabbouleh for lunch. I started with the healthy plates for him months ago when he began talking about wanting to eat healthier and take better care of himself as he gets older. Unfortunately I'm just now eating the reheated rice pilaf and it never tastes as good as when it's freshly made. I fully support his desire to improve himself and am more than happy to help as much as I can with it. He seems to be happy and has definitely been getting more vitamins since I started cooking for him every day. He quit drinking over a year ago and has been eating healthier for months; these are small but very important changes if he truly wants to be healthier. When we first met he subsisted on a lot of McDonald's and things that weren't homemade or food for him, because he generally didn't have much time to cook. I was mentioning to Brian that I needed to quit talking as I was busy cooking and he always seems shocked by that somehow; and some observation that his wife would never do that for him, which seems to depress him. I feel he's jealous in a way but hates to outright admit it. His face and tone of voice say it all anyway, and I know he isn't happy in his marriage but can't exactly help. I try to listen and be empathetic but I truly don't want to mess in his life or marriage. I think that's enough for now.
