Dear Ann Landers,
y husband is 6'3", and he says he weighs 265 pounds, but I don't believe it. He refuses to get on 45 a scale in my presence. I had him on a special diet but gave up when I discovered the diet meal was just a snack, and he was eating everything in sight when my back was turned. The children hide their candy from him, but he finds it. When I bake for my club he sneaks into the freezer and eats the desserts. I think he has high blood pressure, but he won't go to a doctor. You told the other wife that some things are worth nagging about and a husband's health is one of them. Does this go for me, too?-Open For Suggestions

Dear Open,
Yes, but change your tune. Tomorrow tell him you are making an appointment with a doctor. Ask which day and what time would be best. If he fails to cooperate, ask if his affairs are in order because he will probably not be around to see his children through college. And neither will the husbands of the women who wrote the next two letters.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
