Yes, I find it pathetic that a woman has to go grovel at her husband's feet to beg for acceptance because she gained weight.

That isn't harsh.

What's harsh is that a woman would feel so insecure in her marriage that she would feel the need to beg for her own husband's acceptance.

I don't see how you could possibly conceive that situation as "mature". She could step on the scale or look in the mirror and realize she gained weight and go to the gym. She doesn't need to go grovel at his feet for acceptance. That makes it pathetic.

There's a less than 0% chance that this dude's wife has given up like the OP's, and he's just super mad about others doing something to avoid that.

Less than 0%. He'll deny it, but we all know. Less than 0.
