Dear Abby: My obese wife cant keep up with my active lifestyle should I divorce her?

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for quite a long time, and I am seriously contemplating walking away from it.We no longer have anything in common.I’m active and hike, bike, play golf and lift weights.

My wife is 100% sedentary and wants no part of any of these activities that could keep us both healthy.It has taken a toll on her to the point that she has become obese and has mobility issues.Even a small amount of exertion exhausts her, which leaves me doing almost everything.I did not sign up to be someone’s caretaker because she didn’t take care of herself. For a long time, I have become friendly with a woman who is active and healthy like me.

We have much more in common than just being active.She tells me she loves my intelligence and what a great career I had.I never received any support from my wife.

I am tired of being a slave.I want a partner.

Your thoughts? — FIT IN NEW YORKDEAR FIT: I think your marriage started failing before you met this active, health-conscious woman.As it stands, you are emotionally divorced before being legally divorced.Talk to an attorney, then tell your wife that you haven’t felt emotionally supported by her for a long time and you want a divorce so you can be with someone whose interests and lifestyle more closely align with yours.From what you have written, I doubt your marriage could be saved by counseling because, emotionally, you have already moved on. DEAR ABBY: I am a single female in my 60s.I’m very much a loner and mostly keep to myself.

While I know my lifestyle may be unconventional, it is the one I choose. My concern is the possibility of dying alone in my house.I have serious health issues and don’t expect to live a long life.I sometimes go weeks without contact with another human being, and if I should meet my demise, there’s a very real possibility that it could go completely unnoticed for quite some time.I am not asking that you offer advice to fix my solitary life because, frankly, I accept it....
