Selfish Husband

Dear Annie : How do you deal with a husband who thinks the world revolves around him? "Donald" always has to be the center of attention and makes sure he is in the spotlight at all times. People have told me he is spoiled and self-centered, which I already knew from many years of marriage.

Several years ago, I tried to improve my life by eating healthier, losing weight and being more active. I tried, unsuccessfully, to encourage Donald to join me. So I cooked healthier meals and tried to make gradual changes that seemed to work.

Now, Donald has health issues. Everything centers around what he needs. Suddenly exercise is a top priority. He informs me almost daily of how his nutritionist wants him to eat. If food isn't prepared properly, seasoned just so and fresh each day, it will hurt his health. If it doesn't taste good, he won't be able to eat it and it will cause problems. He claims he never eats in excess, yet he will grab candy bars and ice cream and think that's perfectly fine.
