[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. I've learned you can't force an adult to take care of themselves if they don't want to. What you can do is express your feelings: tell him you're disappointed that he's unwilling to make the effort for you and for yourself. Tell him it considerably impacts your happiness, and your satisfaction regarding the marriage. That this is not how you envisioned your golden year together. You say he goes to the doctor all the time: he has been checked for all common ailments, such as hypothyroidism (that can increase weight and cause fatigue, brain fuzziness, and depression), anemia, etc? If his blood pressure OK? He needs to get out of the house every day to do something in the fresh air, and he needs to walk every day. Also, I just wanted to add that I've only seen the shuffling "old man walk" associated with either dementia or advanced physical problems. So this might be beyond just "laziness". [/quote]
