[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back and thanks to PPs.

Yes college sport was something he loved but due to an injury and two surgeries he’s been told to avoid. He picked up another sport and had played rec and gets invited weekly to play in two sports leagues but never goes - always saying he has to get in shape to play again.

We are almost empty nesters with athletic, active DC. He coached their sports.

We have a cat and I’ve talked about getting a puppy or even fostering a dog that needs lots of exercise so that I don’t have to be alone on my walks.

Sad and frustrating because as I've gotten fitter and healthier I’ve also gotten lonelier. DH complains I walk too fast and he’ll only go for a light stroll so we are incompatible exercise partners.

Separate bedrooms already due to the snoring but only after he’d wake up to find me in another bedroom. Now he’s regularly sleeping there saying he wants to make sure I get a good night sleep. Like he’s doing me a huge favor.

Go for the light strolls together. Meet him where he is. Do more hard core workouts for yourself separately.

Life insurance is a great idea, my ex-DH flunked the exam and did make some changes as a result.

If there is a sport he's not fit enough to play, get him a personal trainer. Once he is able to do rec level he will appreciate the camaraderie. Manage portion sizes by cooking less. Don't buy junk food to have in the house.

A dog would be a great exercise aid FOR HIM.

What is his A1C like? Liver enzymes? [/quote]
