[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. PP has the best idea. You should INSIST that he see a doctor. Tell him you are worried about his health and you are setting up an appointment and just be completely obstinate about it.

I know you've tried this before, but this time do NOT accept any excuses. Keep pushing him to do it no matter what. Just keep riding his ass until he sees a doctor.

But, keep it about his health. By showing him that you care about his health and you are unbending about it, he will perceive this as loving, even if he doesn't initially appreciate it -- much moreso than if you made it about you not finding him attractive, which will hurt.[/quote]

I didn't tell him that I was worried about his health per se, but that it was ridiculous that he hadn't seen a doctor in 8 years. He ended up seeing a specialist for an underlying blood disorder and also found another minor issue. OP doesn't need to mention the obesity at all. After 35 years old, you really ought to see a doctor more than once a decade.
I wouldn't set up the appointment for him. You're not his mother; he needs to take ownership of this. If my husband hadn't followed through I think I might have started planning my life without him. Thank goodness it never got that far.[/quote]
