[quote=Anonymous]I think the desire to have a healthier and more physically attractive partner (within reason) is normal. Like I have no issue telling dh to change when he looks like a slob. I would never says anything about the fact that he’s balding because…what can he do. Weight is in between.

I think you handled it incorrectly. He’s clearly extremely sensitive about it (which doesn’t exactly cohere with the claim that he thinks he looks great?). I would have basically only said that I worry about your health because as a man with high waist hip circumference at your age you’re at higher risk for heart attack and I love you and can’t imagine life without you. Would you be willing to maybe explore getting. Healthier together, what does that look like, how can I help? I know you’re in good shape due to working out so maybe it’s genetics but we can do our best with diet and also maybe consider medication, which seems to work for people whose bodies are resistant to weight loss.

Gentle and supportive. That approach may also sting but it’s not telling from you’re embarrassed by him which was humiliating for him. [/quote]
