My partner won’t wear sun cream despite my pleas – I’m terrified he’ll get cancer

I am in a long-term relationship with a wonderful man but it bothers me that when sunbathing he never uses sun cream except on his face.

I am terrified of him getting skin cancer, especially as this is something his parents have experienced, and also because I was widowed at 34 when my first husband died of cancer. We both have children from our previous relationships.
