Only one thing for it. You'll have to take on the work yourself, and let him rest, at home, on the sofa, with beer and comestibles at hand's reach.
Ideally, you should get home at lunchtime, to help him out of bed and make sure he has the essentials for the afternoon (beer, pizza/kebab/rasher sambo, remote control, and finally ... a bucket)
The tracksuit is a worrying development ... has he taken up jogging

Is this your husband ma'am?
Seriously though, WTF happened here today? One thread going missing from PI is regrettable, two is just carelessness.0 -

Before (even last year) he would dress smartly to the office, suit and tie etc, this year hes taking chav to the extreme, going to office in a horrible yellow tracksuit with ugly red sneakers for footwear. Recently he got in a fight at work over the printer and got a 2 week suspension and a warning, the only thing I was happy about was that his grotesque yellow tracksuit bottoms got ripped up the left leg from the fight.
I'm sorry, I don't see the problem here?gillyfromlyre wrote: »is their anyway I can gently tell him "stop going to work dressed like a clown"
Yes, yes there is.
It sounds like you are lacking in the bedroom department. Is he getting enough action from you? He is obviously maturing into one of the Brethren, but to keep up the momentum (no pun intended), you need to ensure his needs are met. Don't be too hard on yourself (pun intended), it happens a lot of women.
Another suggestion is to post a thread on PI.0 -
OP are you sure you haven't done the typical female thing and decided that
now you are married it's time 'to let yourself go'?
Chances are he's taken this course of action to highlight what an
overweight and lazy mess you have most likely become post-marriage
and is struggling with how best to highlight your current deficiencies
in a manner that will lead to minimal confrontation in preference for the
what us men strive for - the 'quiet life'.
Being a man it's highly unlikely that your husband is at fault and it
will help you come to terms with the situation if you accept this
sooner rather than later. Get yourself down to the gym and the hairdressers,
maybe give the old lady garden and legs a trim, and
cook him a proper dinner whilst his favourite lager is chilling in the fridge.
Over dinner you can maybe apologies for your the error of your
recent ways and suggest something appropriate for dessert.
The new year is nigh, make sure he whilst he's out looking for an 08
car he doesn't also consider trading you in for a newer/younger model.
PS: That fight in work was probably when he got caught 'servicing'
the owners daughter on top of the printer/photocopier.0 -

In which case:WTF? BGRH advice, PI advice gets you in trouble.
OP, perhaps he has taken a young skobe lover, and has changed his dress sense and attitude to correspond to her views. or else he is building a beer gut to wow you- feeling threatened by the brothers here, and the time you have devoted to them
Get him a beer, give him a back rub, and turn on the footy/rugger/ boxing (whatever is on really). Or get some xxx movie, and give him a physical aid to match the visual 0 -

I'm just fearful of xmas when he could become a real waster, hes already stocking up on mince pies and devils bit cider and we haven't even bought any presents yet. Is it possible hes going through some kind of mid life crisis?
No - he's just becoming a brother. Let him at it.
BTW - these posts aren't comical - except maybe for the couple of posts that had a PI tone to them.
