Dear Dáithí: My stressed husband is overeating and cranky — can we get back on the right track?

We don't have children; the plan was to get our careers to the right place and then start a family. The way things are going, that's never going to happen. Do you have any advice?

"It's like he's a different guy; he's short-tempered and doesn't want to do anything anymore. We used to have great craic together, but now he just seems to be in a bad mood all the time."

Dear Daithi, 

I'm worried about my husband. He has put on an awful lot of weight in the past three years. It's unhealthy, and I am very concerned about him. He switched jobs around the same time to a better, higher-paid position, but it's made him very stressed, and I can see the link between the stress and the overeating.
