Ozempic husband midlife crises

[Anonymous]

My husband is now on Wegovy and I don’t worry about a mid life crisis. Our son is a doctor and he encouraged him to go on it simply to make it easier to get around (he’s 70) and live longer. Medicare won’t cover it so it’s a big out of pocket but I’m happy to spend the money. If he can get down to 180 I will be thrilled.

What happens at 180?

My wife told me to stop telling her about my weight loss because it makes her feel bad that she’s not working as hard as me (after initially losing weight she has gained). It’s not something I feel comfortable talking about so I guess I’m on my own with this.

And that isn't fair. If a marriage is healthy, you shouldn't be "on your own" with working at a healthy lifestyle. You don't need to do the exact same thing, but you do need to support each other's healthy choices. And telling a spouse to stop talking about something this important is not ok.

I mean, you're preaching to the choir.

She's very resistant to feeling "pressured" to do anything. It's an irritating trait her whole family shares. Her brother is worse. At least I'm not married to him.

Husband who usually overeats, over drinks, never works out, and watches a movie a night while she does the kid stuff, went to an urgimed doctor and out of pocket got on Zepbound.

He lost 40-50 pounds in six months and $6,000 not covered. Looks odd and loose skin, but got so cocky he has moved out and is apparently filing for divorce.

She said no lawyer letter or paperwork has come; it’s apparently such a half baked idea and mid life crisis he hasn’t looked in to anything.

Her main concern is how tough shuttling around will be on their older kid with adhd and high functioning autism.

Good for him.

Yeah! Go mid life crises!

Too bad for their asd kid, 50/50 doesn’t work so hot for special needs kids.

Yeah, well the DW should have thought of that before driving him to leave with their lack of support and contemptuous attitude. Divorce isn't a side effect of Wegovy.

WTF r u responding too?
The guy lost weight via injectables, got overconfident and blew up his marriage himself.
Good riddance, who needs someone with those selfish values and character traits.

Yep. I'm sure blew up the marriage all by himself. Sure he did.

Not PP, but generally speaking ... probably a better shot at continuing to live? At least without significant illness and/or disability?

You don’t think mid life crises in men exists and none blow up their marriage in a spout of derangement and overconfidence?

I have no question - my comment is meant to suggest the OP was not real but designed to get traction. Which it did.

Target weight most likely.

I don’t think any divorce happens due to the actions/inactions of one spouse. A failed marriage is a failed partnership—and those aren’t made up of one person. People in a healthy supportive marriage don’t blow it up because they went on a weight loss med. I don’t think you understand the meaning of “derangement.”

Wrong.

Takes two to marry. Takes one to divorce.
