Family Issues

Okay, I need some assistance.  I was told by my family, i.e. sister, mother and father, that my husband is to controling and that I don't have a mind of my own anymore.  It all started when my husband wanted to eat healthier and not eat processed foods.  He never once stated that I had to change the way I ate, but my family feels he did.  I like the nicer things in life, i.e. name brands, organic foods, nice resturants and so on.  My family thinks it is all my husband.  I don't really know what hurts more, the fact that they think I would be with a man that is so controlling or the fact that I can't make up my mind of what I want.

 I am upset and don't really know where to go from here.   Help?

Well it is great that your family cares about you so much. But if you do not think it is not a problem then I would not think it is. It is great that your husband wants to eat health and you are doing the same. I would just thank my family for worrying but ensure them that I make my own choices. I would not worry. Hope your family will see what you see soon. GL!

Thanks for the reply.  I guess you are right.  They are only trying to look out for their daughter.  Thanks for the info.

Ok, maybe I am missing something but I don't see where he is controlling. Eating healthier, going to nice restaurants and brand names, I don't consider that controlling, you are doing what you want to do I am assuming. You don't feel like he is bullying you into these choices do you? Your family is probably looking out for your well being, it seems like they just don't like how you have changed.....
