Dear Lisi: My husband is very concerned with his health and wellness. I love that about him, and he remains fit and handsome as he ages. He used to be a gym rat in his 20s, moved more into triathlons in his 30s, became obsessed with CrossFit in his 40s, switched to marathon running in his 50s, and now, in his 60s, he’s focused on training for specific events.
How can I impress upon my husband that what I do should be supported by him, just as I support him? He doesn’t have to do it with me, or like it.Use your words and don’t be afraid. Your husband is being unkind, and I have no idea why. He obviously feels superior to you in his health regimen, but that’s unnecessary. You two should be supportive of each other.
Dear Lisi: We are visiting our son, his wife and our two grandchildren who live in another city and are helping them out for a few days. While here, we see that our grandson’s behaviour is inconsistent, between home and school. At school, he has a huge problem, both physically and verbally. The teacher’s comments are shocking. I’m a special ed teacher. My son and his wife aren’t asking me for advice, so I’m not saying anything.
