Re: How to get your husband to..
sorry if this is something you don't want to hear, but he doesn't sound like a very mature person and frankly given your rant/snarky responses to nearly everyone in this thread, neither do you.
Yes, stress has an affect on appetite, but it's up to the adult to deal with it how they want to. Im not being facetious here--if he is an adult male with 100% of his mental faculties and some income and access to food--it's his decision to go 8-9 days without eating. Frankly, it's absurd that a person behaves like this, but you can't force someone to eat.
