[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate to tell you this, but I’m going to, as a cautionary tale.

DH’s ex is like this. After they were married, she couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger - not to help herself, or to grow as a human, or (later) to model healthy behavior for her kids. She didn’t want to cook, wanted to eat fast food, didn’t want to eat “anything green”, didn’t want to be active. He cooked, cleaned, went to school, became a professional, and had a slob for a wife for practically the entire time. When the kids came, unfortunately, he let her win all of those battles during their formative years.

As it turns out, they simply could never get on the same page. After the divorce, nothing changed. Their kids have extremely limited palates, live on junk, are obese.

If you love her, maybe marriage counseling can help - but, as you likely know, you can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change. Maybe you and she simply won’t ever see eye to eye - and then you get to decide if you can live with that. From what I have seen, that road is a pretty soul sucking choice...[/quote]
