[quote=Anonymous]You are me. My husband ended up having a heart attack a few years ago in his late 30s. Luckily it was relatively minor and there was no permanent damage. He changed his habits for about a year afterward but then slowly went back to his old habits. He does exercise pretty much every day now, but his eating habits aren't great although better than before. I was basically told on here that I'm not his mother and can't change him--he has to want to change for himself. There were some people who commiserated.

I was extremely upset at the position he put his family in. To me it felt like he was extremely selfish and valued eating crap over me and our kid. Especially when I crunched the numbers and realized if he were to die then we'd have to sell our house because I wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage on my salary and that would be yet another change for our kid. I had DH buy additional life insurance as soon as he was able and he complained about it because the premium is high. I told him that it was fully due to his choices so he needed to suck it up.

I'll see if I can dig up my old thread. [/quote]
