[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a slot of sympathy for your situation, but wish that this thread had been titled differently.  It is just overwhelmingly negative.  I think all that you can do is to support him in his weight loss efforts.  Perhaps even as he loses just a small amount of weight, he will feel more confident and be more interested in sex.[/quote]

OP here.  He really isn't making any efforts that I could support.  I am in a negative place that is more about me at the moment, but I know you're right that I shouldn't be so hard on him.  I've spent years gently nudging and suggesting walks and outdoor activities and buying healthy foods and giving him contact information for doctors and discussing therapy.  Everything has just stayed the same.  I'm frustrated that he not only doesn't respect himself, but he doesn't respect me as a spouse.  I'm too hurt and emotionally raw to even broach him as a father to our kids on a forum like this.  [/quote]

OP, I think it might be helpful for you to seek a good therapist.  Things just have to change, if you're not already depressed, you're probably on the verge.  This is a very powerless situation especially if your DH is behaving in such a passive-aggressive manner, there's no way you can feel empowered as his spouse and as a mother.

Clearly, he doesn't feel that you will get fed up and leave with the children.   [/quote]
