Talk To Me: My fit husband wants me to join the gym 

'I miss the old days when we cuddled on the couch and watched TV in the evenings.'

Last summer my husband went all out on a new fitness programme. He lost weight and is feeling much better about himself. I’m delighted for him, but all he wants to talk about is his exercise programme. It’s gotten to the point where I find him boring. Recently, he started saying I should join the gym too. It’s the last thing I want to do, though I know I could be in better shape. I miss the old days when we cuddled on the couch and watched TV in the evenings.

Your husband’s commitment to fitness has positively impacted his wellbeing, and that’s fantastic. It’s lovely that he wants to share this source of happiness with you, even if it feels like he has over-egged the pudding.
