Context: My family introduced me to a potential suitor last week. He seems like a decent person, appears to be interested in taking this a step forward, and our interests definitely align; however, I’m uncertain given the age difference between us. Wouldn’t that bring a huge generation gap in how we look at certain things?

I also feel extremely shallow for admitting this, but his weight is a problem. His diet is super unhealthy, and the fact that he has a desk job just makes it worse.

I’m someone who tends to stay fit and ensure I stay in shape. He, on the other hand, seems to have let himself loose. Regardless of how much I’ve tried to look past it, I cannot. How do I encourage him to form a healthier routine and drop some pounds without sounding like a piece of shit?

Any logical advice to help me stop pondering over these and look at the brighter side would be a plus.

  1. Misaligned health priorities can be a massive problem in marriage. Based on that alone I would say he’s not the one. How can you sit across from someone every day for the rest of your life and watch them eat and drink things directly opposed to your personal health values. Then you pay the price because you get to be married to and take care of a fat unhealthy aging slob.
