What she is doing is no better than an alcohol or drug addiction that goes on for 10 years. Good for your friend for leaving.

I have my doubts that any of this is real but I'll play along:
Things happen as people get older. Yourself included. (Everyone reading this included).
Sometimes a health condition occurs and people put on pounds. And I'm not referring to your thyroid comment. It just happens sometimes.
Now if that's what's going on, she could try to make an attempt to lose some weight (be it with working out, weight loss drugs, better eating habits, etc) I have no idea if she has because you didn't state that in your post.
But to just throw in the towel because she has put on weight after he was fully ok (or maybe he wasn't) marrying her and accepting whatever will be thrown his way later in life (as far as her appearance is concerned) is pretty shallow to me.
Particularly after 10 years of marriage. Why not bail after she started to put on some pounds if it's such an issue? Why wait since he's so concerned with seemingly her appearance and nothing more?
He sounds like an idiot to me.

Yes but he hasn't said if that's the case. It's implied that she doesn't give a crap but are there other issues that could potentially involved?
Is she making an effort at all? It's implied that she isn't but that's an important detail to consider before rushing to judge anyone.
I'm not saying you don't potentially get a point where you've exhausted all resources but based on the information provided, it seems like he's just at a point where he says "screw it. I'm out" but that's because of her appearance. There are more details to be considered that are being left out. To my way of thinking.

maintain the figure she had before she gave birth to 2 children?

Idk where he’s from, but in Louisiana it’s common for random people to know the intimate details of other random people’s lives. People can’t STFU.

No, she probably has no control. She didn’t intentionally do this to him. But I sympathize with them both. She, unable to control her emotional impulses, and he, unwilling to live his life without sex.
She seems like a great candidate for Ozempic. I think way too many folks are taking that, but her life is being ruined anyway.

My husband was about 90 lbs lighter when we got together. He had a hernia and he never felt right working out after that and he’s put on weight. I encourage him to eat healthy but I don’t care how he looks because I love him regardless.
Sounds like he didn’t really love her beyond her looks in this case.

Those are excuses. If someone values health and fitness as a personality trait, they won’t allow this to happen
That’s why you have to be selective when choosing a partner. I guarantee you can figure out whether they’ll stay in shape for life within a couple weeks of meeting someone

I seriously doubt that this is a weight issue. No one gains 100 lbs because they’re hungry. She’s unhappy. Eating is likely a symptom of depression or some other mental/emotional issue. His divorcing her may make both of them feel better.
Just my 2 cents.

Good for him. More guys out there should have the balls to do the same.
Yeah!! What we need is less fathers in the house for young men.
I'm sure some strange pussy to make him happy is much more important than keeping two parents in the household for the two children he decided to being into this world.
I don't care what he does, but celebrating divorce and a child losing a father in their home is trashy asf.

It seems like he was probably upfront about it too. If you walk into a marriage with certain expectations and then decide to ignore them, well, divorce might be knocking at your door. Just picture this: if I were to quit my job and declare that I want to be a cashier at the local store because it's less stressful, my wife would probably file those divorce papers faster than you can say "checkout lane." She was crystal clear about her expectations for our lifestyle before we tied the knot, and I willingly chose to throw those expectations out the window!

Amen. This thread is sad and shows why there’s so many failed marriages today. Short of physical abuse or cheating, there’s nothing my wife could do for me to give up 50% of my time with my kids. You can tell the difference between the good parents and the selfish a-holes in this thread. Imagine being 40 years old and caring more about appearances and sex than your children.

Today I learned that sex has nothing to do with marriage. Thanks OT.
