How often does she drink margaritas? A couple of 12 ounce margaritas is about 1300-1400 calories. If she's doing that several times a week then there's your culprit and you could get her to lose weight by getting her (and yourself) to quit drinking for a while.

What? She didn't say she begged or groveled. She had a conversation.

That sounds like a conversation to me, not groveling.

I don't know man. You tough guys see things differently than me I guess.

Tell her calories cost money. Then, tell her if she loses weight, you will buy her something or take her on vacation. Most women are very responsive to money.

I'm glad I have an SO who agrees that this is marital unfaithfulness.

My ex's weight fluctuated from around 125-150 randomly while we were dating. When she got bigger, she knew it and got smaller without me saying anything. I thought she looked best at 135-ish on my eye scale. I let her know that.

Bottom line is.....all bitches know when they gain even a couple of pounds. Whether they care or not is the difference. Baws heifer DGAF. She needs to be fat shamed

I know how to cook. I learned to cook from my grandmother and in hunting camps. There ain't much healthy about it.

And every time she loses a little bit of weight, praise her for it.


I'd be careful with that. You better make sure she decides that "she is trying to lose weight", otherwise the first time you praise her for losing some, she'll pull the "so, you think I'm fat?" fight card out.

Do you think he would have said something knowing everything you're going through? You're tall, a couple of pounds is not a big deal.

According to the other thread you just need to get her a script for Adderall. You'll have a skinny wife and a clean house. Two birds, one pill.

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.

How am I groveling when I'm just having a conversation with my husband? Why can't we honestly talk about something that can affect my health and affect our marriage?

Because that dude's marriage wasn't in a place where he and his wife could have the same conversation, so he's mad and lashing out at you for doing what he couldn't, while he acts like everything is just hunky dory in his world.

That's why.

Film yourself banging someone much younger and prettier and then show her video to get your point across

That isn't so prevalent in my neck of the woods. The average 60-somethings here are more fit and healthier than average 30-somethings in the southern region

Find a few old pictures of her in a swimsuit and have them enlarged and framed. Hang the pics next to her mirror.

ETA: pics from before she was fat
