[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH is on multiple meds, [b]he should talk to a pharmacist or his doctor about his symptoms to rule out possible side effects from the medications.  Among other things, meds can cause depression and weight gain.[/b]

THIS, this, this.

The OP came back to crow about how she jumps onto counters but she is oblivious to the fact (which she even mentions!) that her DH is on meds. One is for thyroid issues. OP, are you just totally unaware that certain thyroid issues can create weight gain and/or affect energy levels? Make one sluggish, put on pounds? Affect your mental outlook?

Nope, you're sure he's just a lazy couch potato because he lacks your perfect will to be active.

OP, if you care about him at all, you would find out in detail about his conditions, the meds he's on, and side effects. Go with him to appointments, not to be his mommy, but to be a partner who gets the same information he does at the same time, so you can work as a team on the multiple health issues. You'd partner with him and his doctor on an exercise program for a long enough time that he will feel a difference (but he can't just start leaping on counters or dancing at parties like you demand--do you get that?). You would learn not to crow about your own wonderful health and instead would encourage him even if his efforts seem puny to your perfect self.

Do you actually love him as a person or is it all just contempt that he's not Just Like You, OP? I see zero effort on your part to see the larger issues here or to think of ways you can help him with them. Just asking him to go for a hike with you is not what I'm talking about but I'm not sure you can comprehend that. I really am not. I think you'll come back with more about how you do parkour around your house. [/quote]
