Never said it wasn't a lot of weight or that 20 of it went to her tits.

She didn't look like a completely different person though, which is what you said. You're used to a girl that is hobbit sized, it warps your perspective.

But the point is even if that's true, congrats you're skinny but now you also have a broken home, emotionally scarred children, and you're going out whoring around instead of doing constructive things to better your family. Just like if a fat person starts smoking crack, congrats you lost weight but you're a crackhead now. Same principle. If it takes something horribly destructive to lose weight you're still not going to come out of it better off even if you do lose weight.

Well women wear makeup masks, fake nails, fake hair, high heels so they are lying from the start...

A big chunk of 40lbs went to her tits means at least half. Regardless, I don't want to get into a semantics battle with you.

I've had girlfriends before her and dated girls in between all that. My serious gf in college was 5'9" or so and 40lbs on her would have been a ton.

Unless you're a very large man, 40lbs is a large amount of weight and very noticeable on anyone. Let me ask you this, how tall are you and how much do you weigh? Now add 40lbs and tell me you wouldn't be like wtf in the mirror

I never said it wasn't noticeable. Are you even reading my posts?

You took a vow. Don't take it if you don't mean it. Divorcing because someone got fat is appalling and I'm mildly surprised to see the practice so accepted.

She should have done something about it before it was too late. And maybe it comes down to having that dialogue about weight, attractiveness in the marriage. I have told my SO to say something if she doesn't like how I look, wear, etc even if it she think it'll make me mad - I've said the same to her. I will say I have enough pride to keep looking fit for her and for myself health wise. I'd rather hear the truth about that than her put her head in the sand. If two can't have that talk, it's probably not that great of a marriage.

Sorry. 40lbs on a 5'5" person is a completely different person to me. Ex gf had 4 inches on her and 40lbs would be the same imo.

In my experience, "letting yourself go" is just a symptom and not the real problem. when that happens, both of you generally need to take a close, honest look at yourselves to see what the problem is.

Have you had any actual experience with someone you date gaining that kind of weight? I see nothing but hypotheticals in all your posts.

Yes, false advertising should be grounds for divorce.

Yeah. My ex was 5'1" probably 115 when we got together. Over time, it slowly climbed up to the 140-145 range. I stayed with her even though Im a gym rat but she had major insecurities about it. Ultimately had a negative effect on the relationship. I didn't take a vow but I would be lying if I said I was not less attracted to her after gaining 30 lbs. It wasnt something I could avoid feeling. Hell, I felt duped.

Not necessarily. I divorced my kids' mother and took full custody of them because she got herself hooked on drugs and refused help with her problem. Divorce was the only viable option for my kids to grow up in a healthy environment.

8% of your body weight at the time of marriage should be grounds for divorce. Also, lack of head should also be added to that. The fat or no head party would not allowed to get spousal support. Cause you know they are just going to use that money for food.

My ole lady was under my standards, but she cooked, cleaned, scratched my back and arse, swallowed, and worked.

I made an exception. Especially when she would give me head on command.

I am addicted to laying back and getting my dick sucked.

Sexual compatibility and attraction are aspects of a relationship often overlooked.
