[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does happen to some people and unfortunately both have to get on the same sheet of music. I have a friend who is nearly 60 snd very fit. Her husband, a few years older, couldn’t handle a lot of activities due to health issues. So what did she do? She sold her skis and dropped her gym membership. She had to fall Out of shape snd gain a few extra pounds to keep the marriage going. [/quote]

I am 60 and a big skier. My DH has less interest in skiing these days. So I have found friends to ski with, or I go on solo trips, or DH will join me for ski trips but not ski every day. So I don't agree that one person needs to give up an activity they love, it just requires going about it differently.[/quote]

That was her personal solution, though. She actually made a big to do over giving up her stuff. “WE are done with this” type of language. I look at my own parents and they are similar. One would shrivel up and die if the other suddenly lost weight, got fit and took on new hobbies. It’s an unhealthy dynamic. [/quote]
