WITHDRAWAL DEPRESSION #5

[ACJ]

It was interesting what you wrote about your ex being 'hot'. Mine has gone the opposite way. He ALWAYS looked after himself when we were together. In fact he had been doing this so much just before he left my D18 actually asked him if he was gay when he first left! Now though has put on a lot of weight, his hair is graey (at least it would be if he didn't shave it all off1), he's suffered with baldness since he was 18 but now he is starting to look his age as well.

So tell me. Does this mean he is content and no longer feels the need to preen himself now he has bagged future wife no 2? does it mean he no longer has time to take care of himself? Does it mean OW is not worth the effort? I'm certain it's not that he can't afford it. We never could but he always managed.

Interestingly he no longer takes care of his health like he used to. He has had a thyroid problem for a number of years and NEVER missed an appointment to get his bloods tested every year. D18 tells me that he has had one since he left and even then he was supposed to go back for a follow test b/c they had to up his dose so much and they wanted to make sure they weren't giving him too much. As far as either of us know he never went for that second test. Since his father died of cancer (and it seems to run in the family on his paternal side) he was always so particular about keeping healthy so to suddenly go like this is beyond me.
