My hubby seems to be in denial of his age—he just turned 42. He needs to exercise and lose some weight, but he doesn’t ever get around to it. I seem to be coming to terms with my aging okay. I don’t know how to help him do so. I wonder how long it will be before he realizes he’s not 20 or 30 anymore, and he really does need to take care of himself? Any advice?

Cut him off from sex, telling him you "don't do it with fattys".

Get him a girlfriend...

Any advice?

A romp in the sack for each time he goes to the gym.

That would work for me.

Advice?

Sadly for men like him (and me) the wake-up call will come in the ER.

When I checked in the ER with a blood pressure of 210/180 (verified by EMS), I came to realize I had better stop screwing up my health.

I’ve been where your husband is. All I can say is keep trying your best to influence him.
