[quote=Anonymous]Having had a husband with cancer in his 40s, two other surgeries in his 50s plus a depressive episode and now a series of serious health issues in his early 60s, all the while presenting to others as a super healthy runner, I would say phrase it in terms of the impact on you and any kids. I would stop trying to persuade him to do it for himself but phrase it in terms of the disappointment you feel about him not doing this for you and the potential impact it will have on you — and it will — if he has a preventable, curable condition that then leaves you holding the bag either by caring for him or financially. You need to at least try being vulnerable and challenge him on his commitment to YOU. It might or might not work but it is actually the nub of the issue.[/quote]
