Dear Abby: My husband is sneaking sweats during his diet. Should I call him on it?


Dear Abby: My husband is sneaking sweats during his diet. Should I call him on it?

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 15 years. He made a resolution to go on a diet and cut out sweets. However, I have noticed that my chocolates have been going missing. We live alone, and I'm not sure whether to call him out to help keep him accountable or remain quiet in order to keep the peace. -- WELL-MEANING WIFE

DEAR WIFE: OK, so your husband took the pledge and seems to have lapsed. My question is, is he still losing weight, or has he hit a plateau? If he's losing -- albeit more slowly, look the other way. If he isn't, then "casually" comment (with a smile) that your chocolates seem to be disappearing faster than you can consume them, but do NOT assume the role of the food police.
