Re: Re: recent discussions of weight and maintaining spousal attractiveness.

  • It may be true within your relationship; but you have to admit this is not the norm.  Particularly for someone suffering from depression, which in my experience has the effect of heightening instead of lessening insecurities and imagined perceptions of tone and motive.

  • Eh, this whole discussion has taken a turn and I don't even know what we are arguing about anymore.

    It might not be the norm, I'm okay with that. But honestly, at that point, I was sitting by the edge of the river trying to figure out how people would explain to my DS why I left him, to be caught up in semantics.

  • So he's attracted enough by her to get erect by putting it in one hole, but not enough to stay erect in another hole?

    Yeah, this is totally just about her weight.

    Good grief, so if her weight doubled (as in the 140 to 280 example)...that should have ZERO bearing on how much her husband is attracted to her and/or how sexually appealing she is?

    COME ON.

    For swears.

    I get what you're saying, Kuus, I really do, but if Mr. Interro ... no, let's call him Mr. Bang ... went from his twiglike 140 lbs to 280 he wouldn't even look like the same person, but I would be the bad guy for raising an eyebrow? 

    For raising an eye brow, no. For telling him "Mr. Bang, I don't find you attractive any more and I don't want to bang/go out to eat/talk to/look at you until you lose weight," Yes.

    People don't get to make those decisions consciously.  This man's wife doubled her weight to the point she is considering gastric bypass sugery.  The OP volunteers she wasn't a twig when they first met and thought that he wasn't into physical appearance and therefore her doubling her weight wouldn't be an issue.

    I'll wager the OP is north of 300 pounds.

    There is only so much a human can turn a blind eye to.  According to the OP, the only place that this is an issue is the bedroom.  He treats her well outside of the bedroom.  Hell, if her drive matched his, she wouldn't even be posting.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
