I completely understand. I am not diabetic and I love pasta and noodles.
I am the chief cook, however, so I would be the one who would be making
separate meals. It would also bother me to have two people eating
different meals as that isn't what the dinner table is all about in our
home.

I eat low carb with him and when we go to a restaurant or when I go out
for lunch with my gal pals, I indulge my desire for a bowl of pasta or
noodles.

Since your DH does all the cooking, you might want to have him find
meals that would suit both of you. It is a challenge, but it can be done.
