My husband and I are really clashing in our views about health. I’m almost 27 and I’ve come to a point in my life when I’m thinking about the future. I don’t want to keel over from a heart attack at 50 and I don’t want my husband to either. I was raised with a good diet and I like to eat healthy, but my husband only likes red meat, potatoes, and bread. Thus far in our marriage I’ve adjusted my cooking to please him, but I’m literally sick of it…eating like that sucks away all my energy. In the past we have also smoked (only on the weekends…but still) and drank too much. I want to make changes but he just won’t. He wont eat my healthier cooking (he just goes out and buys chips, and fried carry-out), he keeps coming home with cigarettes and refuses to even take a freaking vitamin. What am I going to do? I can’t live like this, and he shouldn’t. His dad is 55, diabetic, and has heart disease.
p.s. its not like he is ignorant to the risks of his lifestyle either….he just doesn’t care.
