My ds (10) is having health anxiety due to two close friends parents dying and another having a life threatening illness. We were watching TV and the stroke advert came on and he was visably upset by it and asked what it was. I explained best I could and DH said in front of ds that I should be worried as I'm so fat and drink too much. Now ds is sobbing.
I am fat and I am trying to turn it around but aibu to think dh was a complete fucker for worrying ds?

If he is worried about you. There is so many different ways to have this discussion.

And not in front of the child.

The only way I could kind if see his point is if you were a really heavy drinker, to the point its breaking him and he was at the end of his tether, and you were sat telling you ds it will never happen to you. But even then, that's a converstation that needed to happen away from DS.

My MIL had a stroke and she was extremely thin and always had been.

Honestly I think I would end my relationship over this. Cunt.

Stress at having such a man like this will also factor in to having a stroke. Loose the dead weight (him).
