Ask Amy: Holiday visit leads to weighty conflict
– Worried Wife
Dear Worried: You should do your best to talk frankly with your husband about his health. He is obviously in pain, and you could start there: “I’m worried about your back pain.”
Some people have a genuine aversion to seeing doctors and dentists. Ask him, “Would you like me to make an appointment for you? I could take you, wait for you, and we can go out together afterward and discuss it.”
Don’t focus on his weight gain or his unhealthy habits. Start with where he is, and offer help and support in getting answers.
Dear Amy: “Tempting Trainer” is a physical trainer who described how he is having sexual relationships with clients.
I was surprised you never mentioned that this is a violation of his Personal Trainer professional Code of Conduct. He could lose his certification or be sued for sexual misconduct on the job.
– Concerned
Dear Concerned: Thank you for this information. At this point, being sued might be the least of this trainer’s problems. According to him, he has fathered three children with these women.
