Judging by the makeup thread, it seems like aging and looks is a big thing for OT baws. Anybody here have a marriage fall apart because physical attraction died?

Not divorce but that was the main reason I broke it off with a 4 year relationship instead of proposing. We met our sophomore year in college, dated all the way thru, and a while after. She went from a petite hotty to literally fat. I'm not talking chubby...nearing obese. Weighed more than I did and it was getting worse. Horrible eating habits, no exercise, etc. We would get weird looks when out as I was in decent shape. I just couldn't commit myself to that.

Decreasing attraction, decreasing sex drives, less time, all result in less intimacy

Not only that...but did he try to be supportive of her losing weight? Did he try to encourage them to do active stuff together? Start eating healthy at home so she would be encouraged to eat better? Was she dealing with depression or some serious stuff(loss of family member, etc) that would have contributed to the massive weight gain?

no offense, but if you start gaining massive weight in your early 20s chances are high that will be a battle for the next 20 as well.

That sounds like a lot of work for him. If they weren't married it's probably not worth the effort. Plus once they have the propensity to put on weight that will be a constant battle. He said obese not just a few pounds.

Yeah but they were together for 4 years.

Very true....but we still don't know if there were other issues at hand. If you are dating a chick for 4 years that blows up cause she is dealing with the death of her mom or something....you look like an a-hole dumping her unless you talked with her, offered support...and she still continued her unhealthy habits.

It's because it is the truth. I think you stated it a little more modestly.

She would act like I was obsessed with myself because I exercised. Very defensive and insecure. It would always start a fight if I suggested a program or any sort of encouragement towards being healthy.

I honestly don't think she realized how heavy she got. I got the impression that in her head she still thought she was the attractive girl she used to be.

Oh well then you did good running away from that situation. A woman that doesn't work out at all should be a red flag for any man when dating.
