Question

I LOVE MY HUSBAND TO DEATH BUT HE NEEDS TO GET OUT AND MORE THAN WORK, EAT, SLEEP AND WATHC T.V.

Answer 1

whenever he goes to bed,bathroom,kitchen,etc...set the recliner on fire

Answer 2

Hmmmm...your yahoo name is Kenneth, which is a bit confusing...are you male? Not that it matters, I just try to put questions into perspective when I answer them. Either your question is not really legit for yourself, you're asking for someone else, you are in a same-sex relationship (or maybe you're a female named Kenneth?).

With that being said, your 'husband' is like a lot of people who have fallen into a rut and a comfortable routine. Communication is the first step, because without it the situation will have no hope for change. If you begin by ragging on him will just make him resent talking to you & shut down more, so be careful and smart with your approach. Find a common ground/interest and see if you can figure ways to get him to pursue it. Baby steps...no major improvement should be expected overnight. Good luck...

Answer 3

Introduce him to a hobby for instance I know a man who flies planes, I know a different guy who just bought a boat, and I know a lot of people who travel but I do understand it can be hard to take off work for travel. But weekend trips to a lake for camping is fun 2. Just first let him find somethign by slight hints and then encourage him but be sure you like the idea cause you have to deal with him buying things for this hobby and hear about.

Answer 4

You know how hard it is to change someone. If you tell him to get his butt off the recliner, he'll end up getting mad. When he's in a good mood, talk to him and tell him how you feel. Don't wait for 20 years down the road to tell him. My mother argues with my dad all the time regarding this. I told her it's to late now. good luck...

Answer 5

Remove the recliner one day while he is at work, and say you are having it professionally cleaned, and after a couple of days tell him the chair is no good and his butt is flat and ask to go for a walk...

Answer 6

i had the same problem and i just down my husband and told him straight up that i love him to death but i was getting bored with the relationship so we came to the agreement that every saturday was date night and even if we couldnt afford it we still went out and did something that didnt cost money. (and if that dont work throw away his recliner lol)

Answer 7

Try coming up with places to go and things to do. I'm not talking about work around the house either. Telling him to get off his rump will surely result in an aguement. Once he gets moving he will do more. Also, a side note he could be depressed about something.

Answer 8

Tell him that in a nice way, that you love him and you want him to be healthier, and his habits at the moment arent very healthy. Offer to go out and do things with him, plan something exciting for the two of you to do, surprise him with something.
Try cooking him a nice dinner and then asking to take a stroll afterward with him. Hold hands and walk and talk.

Answer 9

My husband does the same thing, sleeps on the couch. I did get rid of one couch. Then he brought 2 more in. I let the cable go, they shut it off. He went and paid it so we had cable again. Sorry but I don't have a good answer to this one. Good luck to you

Answer 10

Start planning weekend trips to outdoor places - the beach, the mountains, hiking, biking, whatever is in your area that is active. As you start doing things together it will not only give you time as a couple but it will also get both of you more active. Once your hubby realizes that there is more to life than television he will want to get out more on his own without you dragging him.

Answer 11

hide the t.v. in a hiding place like in a big extra box. or you could sell the recliner.
