I try to trick my husband into eating vegetables

CONFESSION

Me (f26) and my husband (m25) share all household and cooking responsibilities equally. He tends to be very tired all the time- not lazy by any means. I keep telling him it's because he doesn't eat right. The only vegetables he likes are potatoes and green beans. He actively avoids eating them. So when I'm in charge of lunch or dinner, I will add any veggie I can, even if it means he gets mad when he finds spinach under his cheese on his pizza, or broccoli bits in his alfredo. But the part I feel guilty about is that I will fully gaslight him and claim that of course I didn't put the veggies in his dish, "I know you hate them, why would I do that?" Or I'll claim that our little one did it when she helped me cook. I don't feel guilty, I just wish I was better at getting away with it.
