[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I actually applaud your honesty.  It’s the more difficult of the two paths but as someone stated in a different thread, “sometimes it’s better to be cruel than nice.”   I’d replace cruel with honest, but you get the gist. If I were your husband, I’d likely react in the same way initially, but then channel that energy into making changes.   I’d be cursing you under my breath while I lifted, dieted, ran, etc, but only as a means to push myself.  What he shouldn’t do is sulk.  He needs to get pissed and use that as motivation.   That’s how I’ve gotten oven many many hits to my ego.   Fortunately everything you’ve identified as an issue can be changed.  The more difficult ego blows are the ones that you can’t change like height or anatomy (although you can compensate). [/quote]

You need to learn what is/isn't your business, and mind your own, not other people's. Take all that "he should" energy and work on the one person you can (barely) control: yourself.

Nobody has the right to be "brutally honest" about what other people should/shouldn't do with their lives without the other party's consent, which y'all clearly don't have.[/quote]
