PS... Im posting this separately to give you a suggestion. Print out my previous reply. You can either directly hand it to your husband and tell him to start doing better or he will become very ill or "accidentally" leave it laying somewhere you know for sure he will read it. That trick has worked wonders for stubborn patients and frustrated caregivers. It takes the confrontation about his action off the table. It has successfully turned around many patients who thought they "knew what was the best thing for them". Just make sure it appears like you were reading it and set it down to go do something. You may need to print a few things so it isnt so blatently obvious what you are doing.

Boy do I hope this helps!!! Im sorry if I came across as a bit stern in my previous post. I did not intend to sound harsh at all. Im concerned about your husband and he must change his ways or he wont feel very well. Its only a matter of time before it catches up with him.
