My husband is “fat and happy” which would be fine if heart problems didn’t run in his family.

Okay, to start, my husband was always a bigger guy. Even when we got together.

It’s now been 7 years.

We’ve both put on weight, it’s normal, but he has but on at least 75 pounds while he was already really on the border of overweight.

My issue with this is the fact that we buried his brother 5 years ago from a heart attack. He was “fat and happy”

His father also died of a heart attack when he was a teenager.

I just don’t understand how my husband can just .... be okay with this after seeing the heart problems in his family.

I’ve spoke to him about it. I’m not asking him to be a body builder or anything, I just frankly don’t want to be a widow at a young age.

I don’t know what to say or do anymore to nicely lead him in the direction of being more healthy. ☹️
