think my husband is bulimic but how do i ask?

Answer 1

Hi Lolcy. My sister has been bulimic since she was 13 years old. You are not alone. There is thousands of bulimic people around the world. The problem with bulimics is that they do not want to accept it, neither get help. They are too obssessed with being thin that they will not accept anything that will make absorb the nutrients in food. Your approach has to be really clever for him to accept his problem. You are the one who knows him, you are the one who knows how to talk to him about a problem. Try to talk to him about it, make him feel that is ok to have a problem. First you have to make him accept himself that he has a problem. Once he has accept it, then you have to find solutions for the problem. Going to a psychiatrist is a good idea. Generally bulimia is a mental problem. He (along with a psychiatrist) must find the root of the problem, then the solutions. In the case of my sister the root was that since we were little girls my dad always talk about being thin, exercising and calories. My sister became obssessed with it. Now my sister is 28, she looked for help, and in the inner search she learned a lot about herself and she is so much better. [e-mail]

Answer 4

As your husband you should just open your mouth and ask. Tell him it's OK you are not judging him but want to help. If he lies just watch him and wait. If he is not ready to stop you cant help him. You cant force him to stop this. Only he can, if you confront him he might open up and admit to needing help. Good Luck
