I'm so glad I found this thread. These two are like children, Soapy has stepped up slightly since giving birth, but she's still treating Drippy like a big baby. Don't give him gummy vitamins, read him the riot act and make him realise that he's got responsibilities to get a proper job with a regular income and to lose some weight. Simpering 'I love you' back and forth like hormonal teenagers actually means nothing in the real world because actions speak louder than words. I understand that he doesn't like the way he looks but this man-child is NOT an anxiety ridden bag of nerves. He is able to be on the stage with hundreds of people watching him which speaks volumes about his need to be told he's amazing and wonderful. He would benefit from some CBT and should see his GP asap to get to the root of his overeating. The NHS is primed to help people lose weight and get fit, and many offer subsidised gym membership. Join Slimming World Dave, they'll give you a round of applause every week just for showing up, you'll love it!!
