What would you do?
Watch this postMarried for 48 (for better or worse) my husband has always loved his home and garden and his interest in anything else has only been when it suited him. We have 3 grown up children who are all doing well and I feel this is the time we should be enjoying ourselves.
Seven years ago my husband began binge eating and consequently put on a lot of weight. He has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and also has water works problems. His attitude to life is poor me and he spends every day pottering in the garden or reading.
We have no communication, never go out together and I feel more like his sister! I have recently inherited a house and a sum of money with which I would like to travel. I know what oh's reaction will be, sulking like a small child and not even interested in where or what I would be doing. I make a point of going out with friends for lunch or shopping and I get greeted with "it took you long enough".
