To think DH should do something about his weight?

[Bestseller]

He's not huge but he is overweight and it's all round his middle, which is the worst place for his health.

He doesn't see it as an issue and will continue to eat and drink as he chooses.

AIBU to think once you have dependants you should look after yourself a bit? Plus, you since he's gained the weight, he snores, which he never did when he was slim.

I get that it's not easy for some people to lose weight but he's not prepared to even clean up his diet a bit. Knowing how it affects those around him (me and DC) should he take responsibility and do something, or or is it his body to fill with junk as he sees fit?

Sorry I know you said he was overweight rather than obese but I don't believe being a littleboverweighg has much in the way of health implications bar snoring.

Little overweight

OP if the snoring annoys you chuck him out every single night. He may then go to the doctor to talk about it.

Depending on what weight somebody was previously, two stone on can easily take you into overweight/obese territory.

I don't think it's wrong to tell somebody that you presumably love and care for that you're concerned for their health and wellbeing as regards their weight, especially if it's connected to other issues such as drinking too much/not exercising enough/working too hard in a non-manual job, all of which can affect mental as well as physical health.

An additional two stone is QUITE a lot of weight for an otherwise healthy adult to be carting about unnecessarily.

My DH is very large and overweight. I worry about his health and do occasionally suggest things to him but it's his body and his choice, and I love him whatever.

Also be careful what you wish for, DB was extremely overweight, lost it all, discovered a new him and got divorced from SIL.

YANBU. I've had a very similar issue recently. I'm not attracted to bigger men, there is nothing wrong with that at all. I think it is important that you should make an effort to look nice to your partner. My DH clearly didn't think this, no effort at all for years and years despite me occasionally saying something. Ultimately I have spelled out just how unhappy I am. He has made changes. It's too little too late for me.

The DCs have also said things about his weight, it's not a healthy role model for children. It boiled down to laziness tbh.
