Dear Abby: Why Should I Have To Follow My Wife's Heart-healthy Diet. I'm Fine!

DEAR ABBY: My wife was recently diagnosed with a partial arterial blockage. It isn't blocked enough to warrant an angioplasty or a stent, so her doctors will manage it with medication and diet.Because my wife now has a special diet she must follow, she has told me I can no longer eat anything in front of her that she can't eat. I must eat only the food she eats.

My health is good, and I have no dietary restrictions. Is this demand she is making of me fair? How do I deal with it? -- PUNISHED IN ILLINOIS

DEAR PUNISHED: I suspect the diet you obliquely mentioned may be a "heart healthy" one. If that's the case, during the last 20 years (or so) the American Heart Association has published many cookbooks offering a variety of delicious recipes. (I know this to be true because I have dipped my beak into some of them.)A heart healthy diet needn't be onerous, and it could benefit you, too. If you crave something your wife can't eat, have it elsewhere so she won't be tempted. It's not a huge sacrifice to make, and her life could depend on it. Dig deep, give it a try and remind yourself that this is what a supportive spouse does for the person they love.
