[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any other topic that brings out such disparate responses by gender as the overweight spouse? I’m at a loss to think of one. [/quote] There are a lot of women here who seem pretty resentful. OP: focus on her health and happiness. “You previously talked to me about how you’re happier when you work out regularly. Shall we sign up for a personal trainer/buy a Peloton/join a running group?”[/quote] Terrible advice. It comes across as controlling and like one spouse is trying to manage the other's weight. OP, just be honest and share your feelings. "Honey, you've become overweight and I'm concerned. I'm sad that we can't do the things we used to do and worried about your health and well-being." But don't try to force her into a new exercise program. It really has to be her decision.[/quote]
