Good grief - talk about being evasive. I'm not trying to suggest that it is at all a fair comment, but it's possible that he is suggesting that you sit around sometimes, resting and snacking, and he finds this unnattractive. In reality, though, it is possible that at one time, he was busy or wanted your attention, and you just happened to be relaxed. Maybe in the past, you were once high energy, or at least he perceived it, or maybe you were always available for him?

As a guy with a diverse group of friends, this undercurrent seems to come up. Especially when the younger wife is more or less waiting on 'standby mode' for him to want to spend time together, or do something, and then transitions to midlife calm. You hear some guys saying that she's always just sitting and feeding her face. I find it to be a very selfish type of comment.

He should just realize that he's lucky that you haven't taken his approach to health.
