I think Martin is also worried about his appearance. He has put on a bit of weight and does look much healthier than before, but still very thin, he has grass hopper legs and his bottom has disapeared completely. He keeps obscessing about the top of his stomach under the ribs that still goes in a bit. I also have more defined muscles than he does, which annoys him "I have smaller muscles than a bird" he tells me.
He was also worried that his face looked wrinkly and that he looked 150 not 50. I kept telling him that it wasn't true, that his younger brother is much more wrinkly than him (which is the total truth), but he didn't beleive me. Until his sister in law, who speaks her mind and doesn't mince words, was surprised he was going to be 50 in September "50, I wouldn't have thought, you don't look it! What's your secret!". He was so chuffed when he told.
He now moisturises with special man face cream and seems to feel much better. This is very recent, so i think slowly the cuddling might get closer.
