I've needed to shed a few pounds over the last few years myself. But with all these people losing weight, I keep finding it.

Early to mid forties is when most people metabolism drops anyway.

Oh Good.
The tea will be most welcome.
Why is it that visits to the Consultant are always preceded by a nearly sleepless night and a bad case of nerves during the day ?

I'm reading Consultant as doctor. Am I correct in that?
If so the answer is, no one wants bad news.

Pass the coffee, please. I put the bagels on the table.
I'm trying to find a nice, calm, grown-up way to tell my husband to a) get his head out of his ass and grow up b) stop expecting everything to be fair (meaning: go his way) and c) step up to the plate and handle his business, instead of dumping all of it on me and then NOT doing the things that I can't do (literally, can NOT do because they require HIS presence or signature.) In the past 2 months it has gotten really, really bad but if I bring it up and say "hey, I NEED help here, you have to step up and do X,Y,Z" he says he's handling it, etc- and two days later hands it back to me.
TX, Handley, is there any way I can broach this subject with a male that doesn't end in shouting/pouting?

You are correct. If the cancer had gone unchecked I'd not be here,. However, all is going well. IT has not returned and I have to report back in three months (it was two).
A lot will depend upon whether he's a hardened drinker (not excessive, you understand), and whether a glass of suitable restorative might suitably relax him.
Is anything worrying him?
Can he get any business help (or any other help) to get him back on some rails ?
Talk to his Doctor ?

He has a good job- which-he is sabotaging with his "It's not faaaaaaair" BS- and he doesn't drink much (neither do I). The doctor is one of the pieces of business he needs to handle- I can NOT make his appointment for him (we aren't legally married until later this year) and he flat out refuses to do it, or says he'll do it and then drops it back on me. Ditto for his health insurance and adding our son to it. And the court date HE has to attend, or the court is going to slap him with a child support order, even though we LIVE together and are engaged.

Sorry to say but it sounds like he needs a wakeup call. So calmly on your part, tell him a and b, and then lay all his work in front of him. It's his job, not yours, is what you tell him next.
It's the hard way but it's the only way I see according to the last part.
It sounds like he's depressed and not motivated enough. Both are hard to deal with without emotions getting in the way.
JMHO you understand without knowing both of you personally.

Yeah, a little depression for the It Ain't fair thing and maybe a touch of cold feet where you and the kid are concerned.
Men in general hate to go to the doctor. It's a male thing.
Not putting your son on the insurance is just dumb and laziness. It is money saved in the long run but then again it shows he is responsible for the child. A big step in a man's mind.
No one likes to go to court but in this case it would save him a whole lot of red tape and BS. But again it is taking responsibility even more so because it is through the legal system.
Just my take you understand from a male point of view.

That's what I'm looking for- the male POV. I would probably be a lot calmer about the whole thing if I was working FT, because then it wouldn't be apocalyptic if he loses his job, just a disaster. As it is, I can't go to work at all because of his work schedule (4.30am-6.30pm) and child care (150+/wk for an infant.)

I have a hazmat suit AND a flamethrower.
Evening Feee, you can check the loft.
As I recall, that flamethrower is the reason the office is in the condition it's in right now.

Since no one has been in there in a couple of years, giant spiders might be the least of it. That old leather couch has seen more action than the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. It may have mutated by now.
