Morbid question: I'm really afraid of finding my husband dead

I agree about not restricting treats, except when there’s a specific reason. Like with my dad….he loves ice cream, which is fine, but eating too much every day will likely increase his weight to an amount that will make it more difficult for him to ambulate and for us to help him. If not for that, I’d have no problem with it. He’s 87. He forgets he’s already had dessert…twice.

Yes, that is a valid reason. Everyone has different reasons for not being able to do that. I agree with you. But with my husband, it is different. He hardly eats anything. He is cachetic and his weight loss is not helping him. but I am not going to force him to eat. He would just throw up. I offer to make him meals, etc., but if he says no, then I don't. He will eat frozen meals once in awhile. Me, on the other hand, eat enough for both of us. lol
